Purported Meizu MX4 spec sheet leaked

AbbieSeptember 14, 2014

So Meizu’s recent MX4 isn’t the only phone the company have planned for 2014, as details of the flagship Meizu MX4 Pro continue to roll out.

MX4 Pro rumours have continued to leak even after the MX4 launch, with most leaks suggesting the Pro model of the phone will have the same outward appearance, and in fact body, of the current MX4 but with updated internals.

This purported leaked specification sheet suggests that the MX4 Pro might have a few more surprises however and claims the new Meizu flagship might have a larger 5.5-inch 2560 x 1536 resolution display, 4GB RAM, and most surprisingly, a Huawei Kirin 920 octacore processor.

The leaked doc also lists the main camera to be a 16 mega-pixel Sony IMX240 F1.8 sensor and that the phone will support LTE, CDMA, WCDMA and GSM.

Previous leaks have suggested that the body, screen size and rear sensor for the MX4 Pro would remain the same, but be updated. For example the display would be 2K, the sensor F1.8 etc. Earlier leaks also claimed a Samsung processor would be used, which given Meizu’s history sounds more likely than the Huawei chip.

Details of the Meizu MX4 Pro launch haven not been announced, but we should see the phone officially launch in the next month or so.

78.5mm width? That’s almost as wide as Note 4.

I don’t believe this would be true. Once again, there’s four gigabytes of Ram with a 32 bit chip. The Kirin 920 is theoretically slower than the MT6595, using older A15 cores at a slower clock speed and with a slightly older GPU, and finally, it seems stupid for them to use a chip from Huawei, of all companies.

  I totally agree with everything you said and personally I don’t think a change in CPU is needed. I think the problem is that everyone still thinks of MTK devices as being cheap midrange/budget chips. The MT6595 is more than capable of running the improved spec of this pro model and the change of CPU is there purely for marketing to differentiate it from the ‘base’ model and for the mis-informed to think they are getting something better + Miezu can charge more for the so-called higher end CPU!

    Yeah I think the Exynos rumour is much more likely given meizu’s past experience with samsung CPU’s just can’t seen them using a kirin processor because as far as I know only huawei phones have used them to date. Another thing to note about the MT6595 is that while its capable, the GPU is the Power VR G6200 which gets absolutely crushed by the iPhones GX6650 so I ‘d expect Meizu to up the ante a bit on the MX4 pro.

The rumored Kirin was actually the 925, not the 920. Same as in the upcoming Mate 7. The architecture is the same as the Exynos 5430. But it’s all pointless speculation. Another “expert” has already said no, it’s really the Exynos not the Kirin. Huawei wants to keep their flagship SoC exclusive. Pick your talking head to believe. Here’s my idea, if you want to believe me: Exynos 5430, 2gb RAM, 2K screen, upgraded audio (either by Wolfson or the rumored “dual ESS Sabre” which would be overkill but again look great on paper), rear camera featuring OIS but fewer megapixels, NFC, maybe *slightly* larger battery, and likely additional bands of 3G + 4G to appeal to international buyers and make it a true global flagship. I also find it hard to believe Meizu engineered an entirely different platform for the Pro, so I suspect it will be built along the lines of what we’ve already seen, albeit with revised internals and probably a cooler-looking back cover.
