i think meizu is more balanced, mi note seems over the top (positively speaking) but it’s only my opinion.

i have mx4 and mi3..i would say i go for MX4 Pro..base on experienced meizu has one of the best display. My mx4 has no backlight bleed not even a small bleed and the black color is super black..great display ever unlike my mi3 and other phones i used before so many backlight bleeds on the sides. Meizu also has the great camera one of the best camera front and rear cam. Xiaomi camera is not that bad but not as great as meizu. I think its the software. Mi3 has a lot of black grainy thing if the lighting is not good. Mx4 also has a super loud speaker and produces a really good sound!

I think I will choose the Xaiomi Mi Note. The advantage of having dual simm seems to outweigh the advantage of having NFC and fingerprint sensor.
