Meizu M1 Note Blue Charm looks like an iPhone 5c clone

The Meizu M1 Note is almost identical to the iPhone 5c

The Meizu M1 Note, nicknamed Blue Charm is the newest announcement from the company that gave us the powerful Meizu MX4 and Meizu MX4 Pro. The Chinese manufacturer announced the phablet earlier this month and while its specs are pretty decent, it doesn’t really feel like an original smartphone. That’s because its chassis and overall appearance resemble Apple’s iPhone 5c more than you would have expected.

The Meizu M1 Note is a very cheap handset, with a price tag of $160 for the 16 GB model, which is pretty cheap for the specs the smartphone boasts with. The Meizu M1 Note features a 5.5 inch Sharp display with a 1920*1080 resolution, protected by Corning Gorilla Glass 3. The device is powered by a 64 bit octa core MTK MT6752 CPU backed by 2 GB RAM and either 16 or 32 GB internal storage. You also get a 13 MP rear camera with an LED flash and a 5 MP front camera to sweeten the deal. The device runs on the heavily modified Android variant called Flyme OS version 4.0. You also get two SIM card slots in the phone, which seems to be a trend in Asian markets nowadays. All of that is powered by a 3140 mAH battery, which should be good for a day and a half of mixed use, in my mind. For that price, the Meizu M1 Note seems to be quite the steal.

Although the handset is made mainly for the Chinese market, we might see it pop up at international retailers, too, but we’re not sure yet. What’s more surprising about the phablet is that it unnaturally resembles Apple’s budget phone, the iPhone 5c, down to the color scheme. While we are used to seeing phones resembling iPhones coming from Meizu, the Meizu M1 Note tops it all. Design-wise, it is almost identical, albeit a lot bigger than the iPhone 5c and the company offers the same color options as Apple does for its older model, namely white, blue, yellow, green and pink. Regardless of design, the Meizu M1 Note seems like a great device to have with its mid-range specs and large display. It should become a favorite in China, as there people are more attracted to phablets than regular-sized smartphones. To be fair, the phablet-trend has come across to the U.S. as well, seeing as how even Apple launched its own large-screen smartphone with the iPhone 6 Plus moniker.

Pizza Possum is an arcade action game in which you, a possum, attempt to consume as much trash as you can without being discovered.  It is a web-based sequel to the anarchy simulator Untitled Goose Game.It will eventually be available on the PS5.

We couldn’t help but notice that the possum in the title doesn’t look like the cute Australian possum that comes out at night to visit people.On the other hand, it looks like the horrible North American opossums are the ones that will attack trash cans and cause general chaos.Even though we think the second choice was better in terms of theme, we prefer the first one and are happy to explain why.

Your thoughts on Pizza Possum?  Does it possess the necessary mass appeal to successfully skitter along the back fenceline while setting the dog off in the process?

In June, Park Beyond for PS5 will allow you to create impossible theme parks

A brand-new trailer for the upcoming amusement park management game Park Beyond from Bandai Namco has been made available. While it appears to be generally comparable to other games in the genre, the hook here is “impossifying” rides to up their difficulty. The video gives a brief description of what you’ll be doing.

There will be two primary game modes. In the first, you can play a story mode in which you aid a failing theme park firm in achieving success by adding imaginative attractions, and in the second, you can play a sandbox mode in which you can create any kind of wacky park you choose. Adding absurd components to your rides—like launchers that transport a train of rollercoaster carts from one rail to another or ferris wheels that resemble the interior of a clock—is essentially the same as making them appear more impossible. There is a lot of creative work on display.

The PS5 release date for Park Beyond, which is now available for pre-order, is June 16, 2023. If you pre-order, you’ll receive a Pac-Man-themed Expansion pack that includes amusement rides, retail establishments, performers, and a slew of other decorations. Last but not least, if you pre-order one of the game’s deluxe editions, you’ll also receive the Zombeyond pack, which includes a variety of zombie-themed goods.
