Although not officially announced, it seems certain that Meizu are on track to release a Meizu MX4 Pro, and just as we saw with the current MX4 we can expect an exciting price point.
The Meizu MX4 represented a lot of firsts for Meizu. It was the first Meizu to get a Mediatek chip, it was the first phone to use the octacore MT6595 SoC, it was the first Meizu to get LTE and it was the first Meizu to launch at below 2000 Yuan.
We’ve been pretty impressed with the MX4 and for it’s 1799 Yuan asking price feel that it is an amazing device, but it is no flagship, as some are incorrectly stating.
The MX4 is Meizu’s top mid-ranger, it isn’t a flagship device that phone we will be seeing around later October or early November according to sources. Sources are also saying that pricing could start at only 1999 Yuan for the base model MX4 Pro, rising to 2500 Yuan for the 64GB(?) version.

If correct these prices will have Meizu competing directly with the Xiaomi Mi4, OnePlus One, IUNI U3 and Nubia Z7, so what about the specs? Well the screen is believed to be a larger 5.4-inch 2K model (so not the same body as the current MX4), Samsung’s octacore 5430 chipset is rumoured as is 3GB RAM, 20.7 mega-pixel camera and built in finger-print reader!
The big question on our lips though is will international pricing be as keen, or will foreign fans have to pay higher prices to get the flagship Meizu MX4 Pro?

Just bought a redmi 1s for someone. All sorts of problems with stupidly high ram usage and apps force closing. After looking at the forum it seems there are massive problems not being addressed on the redmi 1s and a lot of xiaomi devices. I think if xiaomi keep it up then people will eventually stop buying their products. Meizu have a real chance now I think, if they can deliver some good polished devices that don’t suffer from the software issues xiaomi seem to ignore then they could really strengthen their position in the market. Wish they would put out a low end redmi 1s competitor at the same price.
More people look for high specs for low prices and are not willing to spend a little more money for quality software engeneering.
good god, that’s interesting, I thought Xiaomi are doing everything ‘right’ over in China..? That’s opened my eyes then, they’re obvsiously not as ‘perfect’ as everyone makes out!
I agree about Xiaomi quality. I am a not so happy owner of Redmi Note. It certainly has some advantages, but I got tired of software bugs and bad performance, so I’m now trying to sell it. I was hoping that in a month or two they would polish the firmware and get rid of bugs and interface lags, but that still has not happened.
I guess Chinese manufacturers are still wanting in their support levels for their devices. They really need to step it up. They are doing amazing things making these cool devices, but they need to sort out problems with the ones that are not working. make not mistake, the ones that work well. I buy phones in China and sell in Africa. Non of my Xiaomi customers have complained yet, i’m lucky.
