Find the iPhone 5c pretty cute with all its fun coloring schemes, but you can’t just fit it in your budget? (phone price starts at $450 / €428). Luckily, soon enough you’ll have a worthy alternative to consider.

Meizu launched its iPhone 5c lookalike, the M1 Note in China back in December, but the phone only sold within the company’s boarders.

But according to Meizu News, the phablet will soon be launched on the international market via the company’s own international web store, MeizuMart for a very affordable price.

The M1 Note arrives with a 5.5-inch 1080p display and can either be purchased with an octa-core MediaTek MT6752 chip on the inside or an octa-core Snapdragon 615.

The phone also arrives with 2GB of RAM, up to 32GB of internal storage, 13MP/5MP camera combo, dual SIM supports and LTE connectivity.

Meizu’s iPhone 5c alternative ships out with the company’s Meizu’s Flyme OS 4.0 based on Android 4.4.4 KitKat. For the time being, Meizu hasn’t revealed any plans of providing an update to Android 5.0 Lollipop, but hopefully it will come at some point.

Since in China, the Meizu M1 Note sells for about $160 / €152 (the 16GB version that is) we can hypothesize that, when the phablet arrives on the international market, it will sell for around $200 / €190.
