Meizu m3 for those living in the US
For our US readers, we would like to suggest that these handsets might work selectively with your network operator. It means that you might not be able to use data services such as 4G LTE. Also, the handset will come with an extra cost of import and export, which would make the device costlier than its original pricing. Moreover, be aware of the third-party retailers as they might just fill your device with bloatware or malware. We suggest you to wait for an official announcement by Meizu.
