You could hardly call the screen bezels of the Meizu MX3 wide, but compared to leaked Meizu MX4 display parts and designs the new phone has gone much thinner.
Purported photos of a Meizu MX4 glass panel for the front of the next generation phone show us a couple of details, 1) The MX4 appears to keep it’s wide 15:9 ration, 2) The trademark halo button is still there along with on-screen controls, and 3) the screen bezels are exceptionally narrow.
Whoever the tipster of the MX4 is has done us another favour by evening photographing design documents for the next Meizu, which tell us the bezel edges are just 1.1mm thick!
Gizchina News of the week
The narrower bezels will be there to keep the overall width of the phone to a minimum, which will be a plus considering many believe the new Meizu could have a display of up to 5.4-inch. Other details suggest the panel with have an anti-scratch and anti-fingerprint coating too.
Meizu haven’t announced the MX4 launch date yet, but it is widely believed to be during September this year.

MX4 measures: [+/- 0,5] 😉
141,3 mm length
72,58 mm wide
If the height of the screen is 117 mm as is shown on the design document, and the width is 72.58mm as “Freak” said in the comments, meaning the screen is 71.48mm. That means the diagonal according to Pythagoras is sqrt(71.48^2+117^2), which is 137.1072mm, or 5.3979 inches. That almost certainly confirms a 5.4 inch screen. It will probably be advertised as 5.55 or 5.6 inch by Meizu because it would be like a 5.6 inch screen only shortened down.
What sort of price do we think we’ll be looking at for the MX4?
I expect removable battery and 4G bands, I don’t understand why Xiaomi Mi4 doesn’t have removable battery, only if Xiaomi tries to copy the iPhone. Regards.
With Meizu taking its own slow time, seems like they gone craft one hell of a sweet device. But i wonder if they are capable of going global with worldwide releases.
It certainly will be interesting to see the finished product.
so hocked already …. now that they keep their wide screen ratio !!!!! awsome all that fucked up 16:9 ratio for stupid multimedia sonsumption is bullshit, the screen is way to narrow due to this and the user experience is so much more convenient when reading
