It looks like Meizu are on to another winner with their Meizu MX4 Pro, which has already taken an astonishing 6.7million pre-orders!
The MX4 Pro launched in China just a few weeks ago, and although the phones don’t start shipping for another few days, Chinese fans have been quickly snatching them up through pre-orders.
So far, Meizu are claiming, 6.7million Meizu MX4 Pro have been pre-ordered through official pre-order channels across China alone! That’s a simply staggering number of phones, we wonder just how long it will take for Meizu’s factories to satisfy them all.
Gizchina News of the week
Meizu’s new found popularity took the company by surprise for the MX4 launch, which was available internationally and in China at the same time, but they have learned this time around by only offering the phone in China to begin with until stock quantity can be secured for international customers.
So the good news is that Meizu are on a roll, the bad news is that MX4 Pro fans not in China are going to have to wait a little while longer before they can get their hands on the phone.

Those are not pre-orders just reservations . People don’t actually pay anything and a small portion actually buys the device.
Maybe yes or maybe not. As I know any company/site that orders phones from them, in order to re-sell/distribute, pay the price of the phone to the company before the delivery leaves the factory and reach their warehouses. So, IF this case happens here, there is no reason for them not to say that they sold so many already.
like the xiaomi 3-4-5 seconds sales, i think we all know that most are bought by tons of resselers out there, the demand is there offcourse, but most is from international buyers buying through resselers. right now any phone with top specs sell out pretty fast,mx4 pro right now is the most powerfull phone on the market after the expensive note4-droid so yeah it will sell like hotcakes at this price. no wonders there.
I bet a lot of them are resellers…
Not surpising here… At least in Russia that I live and watch the Russian Meizu community, there is a big anticipation for this phone… I expect it to pass the sale numbers of the standard MX4.
There are people that they skipped the standard version and keep waiting for the start of pre-orders here in Russia. I would do the same though the normal version won me over 🙂
A small example to show you how much wanted Meizu products are at the moment: The official re-sellers here got 2 deliveries of MX4 phones in different colours last month and they used all of the phones for the pre-orders… the 3rd delivery was supposed to come for retail sale but guess what? They had to use pre-order again cuz of the huge demand and only now is available in retail sales. Surely they didn’t expect such interest.
Even if a load of resellers buy 6 million handsets that is money and sales in Meizu pocket. And the fact that so many resellers bought that amount means that resellers believe that they can shift that quanity to the general public. it still is a very impressive figure but of course people just like to moan
Pre-orders ore one thing, bought units are other. From pre-order buyer can drop out and I believe Meizu will not release new data so soon. 🙂
