Meizu M8 getting interface updates, still looks like iPhone knock-off
Meizu’s M8 Mini One has been getting a lot of media attention since it first came out because of its eerie resemblance to another touchscreen enabled mobile phone from another side of the world. Meizu’s M8 is now catching a lot of eyes again, with the release of its updated interface pictures. (Note that the interface has already been updated even though the product itself has not even shipped yet). The photos provide a sneak peek at the Meizu Mini-One’s music player interface, which can be viewed either in portrait or landscape mode. Rather than emulating the Apple iphone’s minimalist interface and showing widgets one at a time, the new Mini-One’s interface now crams all you could ever want to see about your music on the wide touchscreen display. You now have album art, song title, artist name, rating system, karaoke-style lyrics tab (if they’re available for the song), and the music controls all fitted on the screen in just one go.
Nothing new in terms of features, but I think it’s a step in the right direction for Meizu (for once!) unless they want to be stepping in the direction of a district court with possible copyright infringement lawsuits from Apple. Product development is said to be up to speed during the recent weeks and an August release date for the Chinese market might be a possibility. I think I even heard someone say that the word Meizu, when translated in English, meant “hopeless pirate.” Can anyone confirm?
