That said, the Meizu phone does have its own differences. For one, the rear 12-megapixel camera is located in the middle, which makes it less likely your finger will accidentally block your shot compared with the iPhone. Another thing going for it is that unlike other Android phones, the MX6 doesn't have the usual back and recent apps button.
Instead, the home button, which also serves as a fingerprint scanner, also acts as the back button with a simple double-touch of the button. You might be confused what I mean about double-touch -- instead of pressing down on the button like you do the iPhone, you just need to touch the button quickly twice. It takes a while to get, but once you do, it's actually quite easy to navigate the Meizu FlyMe OS, which is a customized version of Android 6.0.
I do like the design of FlyMe. Meizu has put in plenty of effort to make the UI design stand out compared to other Chinese Android skins and it shows. Each icon gets its own good-looking flat look. The end result is a UI that matches the iPhone-ish looks and could be something Apple wouldn't mind having in its own phones.
Overall, the build and quality of the MX6 impresses, and I think the phone has what it takes to do well. And with 3.2 million preregistrations for the phone before it even goes on sale, it looks like plenty of Chinese fans think the same thing, too. The phone will go on sale in China on July 30 for 1,999 yuan (which converts to around $300, £225 or AU$400) and will be available globally through third-party online vendors soon.
