I've been hearing people say that this is the lowest quality proc of all the brands out there due to the gps, and os updating things... Is it real? I have paid Rm100 for the upfront deposit for Meizu M1 Note to Digi and if it's real I might consider buying another qualcomm phone.

No worries if u r not going to FLASH yr phone
Not much developer sapok dem

yeah... I don't flash my phone. But let's say if i were to buy meizu m1 note, will i be getting os update in the future?

The new Mediatek processor (64 bit) is highly capable than the previous generations of Mediatek.

It is very fast and snappy even comparable speed with the famous Qualcomm Snapdragon in term of raw processing power, but GPU used in Mediatek SoC is never come close to Qualcomm's Adreno Graphics.

And yes, Mediatek always having trouble with little things where Qualcomm at best.

Mediatek struggle in searching and locking GPS that makes navigation a little bit slower and harder.

Users are reporting problems with Waze navigation app. Unsable. Meizu and Mediatek are working on it.

As of updates, I'm not sure about now. But back than with previous mediatek SoC doesnt seem to have great after sale updates and loyality.

But no doubt, Mediatek is getting better than ever.
The SoC in M1 Note is already using the latest and up to date tech.

still having GSP lock problem?

that not bcoz mediatek but oem eg meizu

repordly from all meizu m1 user cant use waze at all.
Meizu say it will fix it, time will tell if they really do.

Old mediatek processor such as MT6589 suffers from GPS locking speed, but newer chipset like MT6595 locking speed has improve a lot, almost instant lock when opening gps apps

pure gps lock?

I can confirm.. It locks very fast

Usually old Mediatek GPS lock will need to access network (wifi or data) to acquire GPS satellite data and it only will start to lock, from there already took a long time, if no data the lock will take forever.
Last time i try a new mediatek device with no sim card and no data connection, open GPS test app, almost instantly get a lock already

tried with this?

only gps turned on? or with the assist of data? If only with gps hardware and without data, then indeed it's a big upgrade from previous Mediatek SoC.

edit, baru read ur reply. Nice. Then I can consider Lenovo P70 dy.

Yes bro, that the app i use to test.
Yup, only GPS turn on, no data assist, but that time i just finish download the GPS app at a cafe, but i cannot confirm google got store any location or satellite setting on the device or not after signing into google account. After that off wifi, go in to car turn on GPS then open the GPS app to test, straight away got GPS lock.
The device i tested is Meizu MX4.

Im using M1 Note right now.
Quite fast phone.Mediatek processor nowdays not like the old one.
Antutu got 40k+....no issue for GPS...lock quite fast, but yes, still problem with Waze.
Waze got this bug not because of Mediatek processor, but the GPU Mali. You can check the phone with GPU Mali, have this kind of problem.

i use MT6589 phone n use offline HERE Map no problem

Which phone u using ? Modded with GPS fix ?

THL W8 2013 model.. no mod for gps

How long it takes to get a precise lock?

ts if you rely heavily on GPS, frquent user.get a snapdragon device. mediatek wont cut it

Yeah Waze seems to use some proprietary graphic libraries which gives problem with certain model of phones.

Waze often hangs on my phone. Google map and other GPS program no issue.

Looks like Qualcomm is feeling the heat from Mediatek. One of the reason for overheating

I have made up my decision last week ago and bought a Meizu M1 Note.. It locks very fast and efficient FYI

Good. It's good that the GPS problem on mediatek chipset is fixed.

I like open market. There is always a place for everybody to exist, as long as everyone is doing his job.

Btw yes Meizu M1 Note is having problem with Waze.. Its not Mali problem, its the Flyme os problem.

not fast around 10-15s but it is usable..

Their market perception. The brand is doing great. When it comes power, performance, price, MediaTek has already taken over Qualcomm in terms of Market share. Yet, the perception that people conceive, needs to change.

MTK67xx already fix GPS receptions. As good as snapdragon

MediaTek's Market Share Continues to Slide | EE Times

MediaTek Losing Market Share in Smartphones | EE Times

Qualcomm had the highest share of the smartphone SoC market ...

Qualcomm had 42% smartphone AP market share in H1

Qualcomm gains in smartphone processor market as MediaTek slips ...

Taiwan's MediaTek aims to recoup market share with new chips ...

Totally agreed to you, MediaTek is doing great.

My Meizu M1 note GPS is really unreliable. It has MTK 6752. Care to explain how to fix it?

ayo this is very old soc la.
Announced 2014, December
Status Released 2015, January
OS Android 4.4.4 (KitKat)
Chipset Mediatek MT6752

I dont know how MTK naming their soc. MTK 6737, 6739 is newer than MT6752
mostly android 4.x siries using MTK 65xx
MTK 673x with android 6+ no problem with gps.

To answer your question, that is hardware problem. buy new smartphone with android 8 or android go. this one conform using new soc.
