The Meizu M6 miniPlayer is a newcomer to the US MP3 player market. This thin flash player comes in 1GB, 2GB, and 4GB sizes to match the other players in its class: the Nano, Z5, e200, clix, and other slim high capacity flash players. This player has most of the bases covers in terms of audio codecs, including MP3, WMA, OGG, and WMA. On the video side, the miniPlayer uses XviD convertible with off the shelf software. This player has a solid set of fairly standard features with surprisingly great sound that has a killer low end. The player however, is not without faults. For the entire low down, read on…

Accessories

You will be happy with the nice set of accessories packed in with the miniPlayer. Meizu is definitely hooking you up on this one. Inside the box you will find the player, carrying pouch, strap, cleaning cloth, earbuds, standard USB cable, manual, and software for converting video. As far as additional accessories, there may not be too many, but I have already seen a clear plastic case that covers the entire player.
Design

Even though the player is thin, it is still very solid. To prevent scratching, Meizu covered the front face and back metal with a thin scratch resistant sheet of plastic, much like a screen protector but more robust and perfectly installed. Under normal use you shouldn’t have problems with scratching up your miniPlayer.

The design falls short on originality; the design is definitely influenced by the iPod and the Nano. This becomes even more apparent when comparing the GUI.

Screen

The screen takes up the vast majority of the front, measuring in at 2.4" with 260K colors at QVGA (320x240) resolution. The screen tends to wash out slightly at an angle. It is not bad, but slightly less comparable than most LCD screens when viewed off center. Otherwise the screen is very clear with a balanced color.
