Body with uni-body molding technique gives perfect finish.
Firm Power and volume rocker clicky type buttons.
Mediatek MT6753 octa core processor, NO overheating(Firmware version 4.5.3l).

Tempting price point with all these features.
CONS:
Can be Slippery due to back texture.

Operates Dual sim without memory card (OR) Single sim with Memory card.
Sound loudness is average (not performance though).
Detailed:
Design: A poly-carbonate uni-body molding technique with CNC processing makes it look nice with fine precision cut speaker grills. This ensure a uniform finish at the back and looks are good with slim profile. The power and volume rocker are firm enough & clicky to avoid a accidental press. The camera finish soft with the body and not protruding. The back texture is matte finish and at times it can be slippery. Score : 8/10
Screen: A lovely IGZO full hd display with 403PPI, IGZO has reduced power consumption comapred with IPS panels. Brightness can go high so it can be visible in bright light. Just fantastic, a stand out feature of this phone in this price range. NOT protected by gorilla glass or dragontail, just tempered glass, needs a glass protector. A unique home button doubles as back button even. Press to use as home button, just tap once to use as back function, works awesome. Score: 10/10
Processor: Mediatek MT6753, a octa core processor which performs really well. It never overheat's no matter what you are running(also read UI for firmware update), i'm not a heavy gamer though, but play light games, good for multitasking, never observed any lag. For videos frame rates were good with VLC player compared with MX player. There are three modes of operations Power-saving, balanced and high performance, where balanced is default, which are basically for limiting the cores utilization to reduce heat and power consumption. When you play heavy games set it to high-performance(no matter some slight lag expected with high end games). Score: 8/10
UI: Updated to 4.5.3l indian firmware from meizu site a bulky 850mb download and installed smoothly without issues. This update is very much recommended and has several fixes. Runs on flyme 4.5 a heavily customized version of Android 5.1. It's smooth, responsive and spaciously designed with no cluttering. Eventhough it might take a while getting used to the interface which is pretty simple when you get through. It has some great features, a detailed drop down notification bar, a recent task bar pops up when you swipe bottom up, neat interface for caller, camera, floating calculator. But i miss the swipe pattern unlock and there is some lag while scrolling in browser on heavy webpages like cnet homepage. Score : 7/10.
Memory: 4G LTE, has dual nano sim trays, out of which one tray is either memory card OR sim card usage. In short, if you want to use dual sim have to sacrifice mem card, if you want mem card feature then sacrifice dual sim feature. Conveniently runs UHS compatible high speed mem cards. Has 2GB of RAM and may be only roughly 600MB left free by OS for apps, but there is no lag in multitasking. Score: 8/10.
Camera: A very decent 13MP rear camera module from Samsung which is good and covered by Gorilla glass. Don't comapre to a high end IMX Sony sensor, but this is not meant for that comparison, produces good enough photographs. A interesting unique feature many of us would love is lightfield mode, after a picture is clicked you can refocus on different subject on the image already taken, works flawless. A front-facing 5MP cam for beautiful selfies. Score 8/10
Sound: Here comes the average part. Loudspeakers are decent enough but not loud enough(i modified my ringtone using a audio editor to be loud enough). Audio quality in Headphone is clear and accurate with nice highs and lows but not loud enough(Performance and loudness are different). Make sure you enable Dirac-hd after you start playing music via headphones. 75% volume in Nexus 5 is 100% volume in this phone. Strongly believe can be fixed via a software update in future. Socre: 6/10
Battery: A Sony 3140 mAh battery!!! Very rare to find Sony battery in this price range, provides really good enough juice for running 30 hours with moderate usage like a daily hour of calls, browsing, mails and videos watching. Overall: 9/10
Service Centers: List published on main product page with coverage all around India in main cities(These centers were published after the Meizu brand launch event, but the product was released before that, so many reviews here state that no service centers. Now we are covered.
Apps: Just a note, a old version google play store ships with this phone, if you try to upgrade and face issues, just go to settings --> Apps --> google play store --> uninstall updates. This will reset it to factory version and then try to upgrade, all good now.
Overall a very good experience.
