Meizu could be sticking to their guns and extending their partnership with
Samsung to cover the processors that will power the flagship
Meizu MX4 later this year.
Meizu and
Samsung have a long history of cooperation with Samsung processors powering every Android Meizu phone the company has put out over the years, but with the need for an
LTE solution there was speculation the
Meizu MX4 could ship with a Qualcomm unit. New details surrounding Samsung and their
next generation Exynos 5430 might mean a move to Qualcomm could be off the cards after all.
Apparently the next iteration of the
octacore Exynos processor from
Samsung will be touch enough to run a
2K (2560 x 1440) display, get all important
LTE support, and be capable of handling
4K video playback. The new Samsung Exynos 5430 will likely see light in the a more powerful version of the the Galaxy S5 before seeing duty in the
Meizu MX4.
