Friends+Design
- Classy design - one of the few budget smartphones that come with a full metal exterior
- Front facing fingerprint sensor is easy to set-up and quite accurate
Display
- Good display, at par with its top competitor - the Redmi 3s Prime - legibility under bright light is good and so is visibility from odd angles
Software
- Meizu's FlymeOS interface on top of Android is simple and relatively clutter-free
Performance
- Decent performance - can handle most tasks and games comfortably and without heating issues
Camera
- Rear camera works decently well in outdoor sunny conditions, and colours in close-up shots look good
- The camera's low-light shots and indoor shots look noisy and washed out
Battery
- Good battery life - lasts the whole day when used as a primary phone
More
- The matte finish, the rounded edges and light form-factor (138g) also make the M3s quite handy
- Doesn’t have hardware or capacitive keys for navigation, forcing you to rely on just the home button by means of swipes and presses - this can take some time getting used to if you are more coming from a more standard Android phone
- The phone is good on the whole, but the Redmi 3S Prime has an edge over it, with a more powerful processor, bigger battery, and newer Android
