Just a couple days ago I reviewed the Meizu MX2, and though extremely positive, I sited the unusual combination of onscreen "back" and "menu" + hardware home button as an unfortunate cause of bugs in some of my preferred apps like Rdio, and Twitter's official client.
Literally the morning after publishing my review, I received a push update to the newest version of Flyme OS, 2.2, in which the behavior of the onscreen hardware buttons seems to have been greatly improved. I am no longer experiencing as much broken compatibility, due to them. Also the vertical height of the status bar at the top of the home screen seems to have been reduced to a normal size, which may also be helping compatibility with apps.
Furthermore, I am now experiencing much smoother performance, overall. Though the prior Flyme was already based on Jellybean, I'm now really feeling the "Jellybean" smoothness that so many other Android users are familiar with.
Due to this update, the Meizu MX2 has become an even better choice for a small, powerful Android device, in my assessment. Even though not officially released in English-speaking countries, I think this is one of the best English-language Android phones of the current device generation. Though not stock Android, by a long way, I love the device so much, I think of it like a tiny Nexus 4 with more storage and otherwise very similarly impressive performance.
Hey really nice review for the mx2! Did this update enables FM Radio? Is there any way to listen to the FM Radio in this device?
