14 DAY TRIAL // Chinese mobile phone maker Meizu is reportedly getting ready for the launch of a new smartphone in its popular MX series, though this one might be nothing more than a version of the already available MX3.
Supposedly called Meizu MX3S, the smartphone is said to pack a Snapdragon 800 processor inside, moving away from the Exynos 5 Octa CPU inside the Meizu MX3.
Furthermore, the handset should land on the market with a 5.1-inch Sharp touchscreen display capable of delivering an 1800 x 1080 pixels resolution at a 415ppi pixel density.
The best part of the deal is the fact that the new handset will also offer support for 4G LTE networks out there, something that its predecessor did not do.
Meizu MX3S is also said to feature 2GB of RAM inside, as well as the Flyme 3.0 platform, which is based on the Android operating system.
According to a recent report from GSMInsider, we might see the new handset put on shelves before the end of this quarter, though an official confirmation on the matter has yet to be provided.
All in all, the upcoming MX3S will feature upgraded hardware specs when compared to the Meizu MX3, which should allow the handset vendor to price it in line with other flagship devices out there.
Until some more info on the matter emerges, you might want to have a look at the leaked images with the original Meizu MX3 attached to this article (available courtesy of GizChina), which show it running under Ubuntu.
We have already learned rumors on the handset vendor’s possible plans to launch devices running under this platform in the not too distant future, and the aforementioned photos appear to confirm this.
However, it still remains to be seen whether the vendor will indeed make the move, since it hasn’t announced specifics on the matter, so stay tuned for updates on this.
