14 DAY TRIAL // After debuting the Meizu M3 Note and the Meizu Pro 6 flagship, the Chinese company is preparing for yet another major launch, the Meizu MX6. Rumors on the upcoming device have been surfacing for some time now, but the smartphone might, in fact, be inferior to the Meizu Pro 6.
Information on the launch of the MX6 has appeared on Chinese website Anzhuo. The post shows that the device could be unveiled in China on June 20, at a price of about $275.
Rumors on the specs suggest that the smartphone could be fueled by the Helio X20 64-bit deca-core SoC. The chipset is very powerful, and it incorporates two Cortex-A72 cores clocked at 2.5GHz, four Cortex-A53 cores clocked at 2GHz, and four Cortex-A53 cores running at 1.4GHz.
Meizu MX6 could come in two variants, one with 3GB of RAM and the other with 4GB of RAM. The 3GB RAM model could have 32GB of internal storage while the 4GB variant should ship with 64GB of storage.
Meizu MX6 will come with Android Marshmallow and Flyme OS on top
The device is expected to carry a full-metal case and have a powerful camera of 20.7MP on the back. The phone is also said to run Android Marshmallow 6.0.1 out of the box, with Meizu’s Flyme 6 OS on top. The Meizu M3 Note came with Flyme version 5.
Meizu’s flagship phone, the Pro 6, shipped with a 5.2-inch Super AMOLED capacitive touchscreen display, which was quite a surprising size, considering that the previous model sported a much larger screen of 5.7 inches.
The Pro 6 came with MediaTek Helio X25 chipset that incorporated a 10-core processor and Mali-T880 graphics unit. It also featured a rather small battery of just 2,560 mAh and ran Android Marshmallow 6.0.1 with Flyme OS on top.
Prices reached $385 for the 32GB model or $430 for the 64GB model variant in China. The Meizu MX6 won’t be as powerful as the Meizu Pro 6, but it will provide decent specs for the price of just $275. However, that will be confirmed on June 20.
