The Meizu doesn't lose anything. If in doubt, just ask @NikT who is the product manager.

Have a read of this thread: http://pricespy.co.nz/forum/index.php?showtopic=3994

 

There was a thread in geekzone about them too, but they eventually came to the party and honored their obligations.

Its lost all google functionality ie Google Maps and Google Store Google Play etc. Im not sure how much more less google it could get. And thats from the last post on the Meizu Note 3 forum and reported across the net. Unless there has been an update I am mistaken?

I bought 2 x Samsung Galaxy Note 7 Dual SIM models from them three months ago. Long debacle about getting it replaced when the first recall happened by Samsung happened and was told that Dual SIM models were safe were to keep when they were not and as written clearly on all of Samsung's website to return all units. This never happened. Then Samsung pulled the Galaxy Note 7 entirely out of production and global recall of all units. This took more than month to sort out with Supero who kept referring me to contact Samsung. Samsung gave me the run around and never contacted back after 10 or so phone calls. Supero said that they will refund my money when they will get it back from Samsung Singapore who they bought their Dual SIM units from etc. I pushed for CGA and lodged a PayPal dispute. After couple of weeks, was told if I pull the PayPal Dispute and return the 2 x Note 7 back to them, money will be returned. Used Courier Post who lost both Note 7 for around 8 days and their terrible customer service of their investigation officer not calling back. Saw the money returned into account for Note 7 with random emails from PayPal and Supero and no personal email from Supero to accompany that they have finally received the units and here is your money.

 

To their benefit of the doubt, a global recall like this was done probably for the first time but Supero and Samsung handled it very poorly. Take what you will from above experience if the worse happens like this.





Do whatever you want to do man.

I have a Meizu M3 Note here. All these apps are there. If you are reading overseas threads, it's a different model. If you buy locally, from PBTech (the local distributor) then you have this.
