Reception
A reviewer from the information portal ITC.ua gave the Meizu M8c a score of 3.5 out of 5 stars. Listed disadvantages included performance, the small amount of internal storage, lack of 5 GHz Wi-Fi support, and a mediocre main speaker. Advantages noted were the display, good build quality, battery life, and affordable price.
The reviewer gave a conclusion, stating "Saving on components in budget smartphones noticeably affects the final result. The Meizu M8c is no exception; it struggles with resource-intensive tasks, and its cameras have difficulty shooting in the dark. However, it looks decent, is well-built, and has a high-quality display."[6]
