Design & Features – Meizu E2
The E2 doesn’t really experience a major change in its design at the front, featuring the same mBack button with a display surrounded by white bezels. However, the design takes a complete change at the rear where the E2 sports a different looking camera and LED flash. Perhaps, the most prominent change is the LED flash which comes as a strip of light with four LEDs sitting on the antenna line change in the Meizu E2 is in the LED flash. This design is obviously pioneered by Meizu and we give then thumbs up for that. The presence of fused antenna band design should tell you that the E2 is an all-metal body phone.

Talking about the specs, the Meizu E2 features a 5.5-inch FHD display and is powered by an Helio P20 processor which might disappoint some, especially die-hard “Snadragonites”. The device comes in two storage versions, one with 3GB RAM + 32GB storage and another version with 4GB RAM + 64GB storage.
On the camera end, the rear camera on the E2 is a 13MP f/2.0 sensor with PDAF and four LED flash. While for selfies, there is a decent 8MP front sensor.
