Are MEIZU smartphones really capable of outshining iPhones? As a potential buyer, I’m curious to know what sets these “sisters” apart and how they specifically contend with the iPhone. Would love to hear from someone who has used both brands, or from anyone knowledgeable about MEIZU’s features and performance. Are these claims of being iPhone killers just marketing hype or is there substance to it? Please share your insights!
