The Meitu M4 is being touted as a quality selfie smartphone thanks to its ability to capture the best selfie -- even in low light conditions. Wu Xinhong, the company’s chief executive, notes, "We have done some studies on selfie habits, and we found that 70 per cent of women take selfies, and only 15 per cent of them are willing to do it without any make-up. It’s not only about embellishing your photos and showing them to others. The point is that the more you take beautiful selfies, the more confident you will become."
Available in three colors, the selfie smartphone is a device many young consumers will want to have as an accessory as much as a daily tool.
