The Meizu M9 (pronounced MAY-zoo M9) is a Chinese smartphone designed and promoted by the Meizu Technology Co., Ltd. which runs Android. It features a 1 GHz "Hummingbird" processor along with 8–16 GB internal Flash memory, a rear-facing 5-megapixel camera and a 3.54-inch 960x640 capacitive touchscreen display which its resolution surpass the resolution of all previous Meizu M-series smartphones.The phone also has Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, and TV-out (HDMI 1.3) connectivity. The Samsung C110 processor enables the Meizu M9 to play full HD video. There is also an English version of the phone's software.
The M9 was launched on January 1, 2011, resulting in buyers lining up overnight to enter the stores to purchase the device.
Jack Wong, at that time the CEO of Meizu announced that the Meizu M9 would be released in late 2010. Only 300 copies of the phone were released on the first day of the phone’s launch. It was only available in December 2010 if it was pre-ordered in October. The price of the Meizu M9 was set for 2380 Yuan (350 dollars). The phone was originally slated for release in early November. Because of several delays, the phone’s release date was delayed to late December. One of the delays in the release of the phone was the company’s decision to brand the phone with an ancient Chinese character for a logo. Another delay was caused by the validation process of the phone by the China Academy of Telecommunication Research. The validation process took two months. Another delay was caused by the arrival of the IPhone 4 to China. Because Meizu Technology Co., ltd wanted to compete with Apple, the company had to use the same retina screen as the iPhone 4.
The Meizu M9 runs on a 1 GHz CPU, Power VR 540 GPU and 512 MB of RAM. The Meizu M9 is similar to the iPhone 4 in a number of ways. They both have similar CPUs which are ARM Cortex A8-based. The difference is that the Meizu M9 has the Samsung S5PC1110 application processor rather than the Apple A4 application processor. Even the clock speed and phone internals are similar between the Meizu M9 and the Apple iPhone 4.
