Meizu started a trend last year by releasing an MX4 Pro along with the regular version. The phone was discontinued recently, which makes one guess about what could come next.
According to reports coming from China, the MX5, which is the upcoming Meizu flagship, will also have a ‘Pro’ version. Purported specifications of this phone have just made their way online, and the only thing we can say based on that is that the phone is going to be a bomb!
For starters, the MX5 Pro will have an Exynos 7420 SoC (the same chip that powers the Galaxy S6/S6 edge). Previous reports stated that things might have gone wrong between Meizu and Samsung, but that might not be the case. With the powerful chipset, the MX5 will also have 4GB of RAM and of course, a fingerprint reader.
Gizchina News of the week
Meizu already ships some impressive cameras on its phones, and the MX5 Pro should be no different — the same 20.7 mega-pixel of the MX4 Pro should suffice on the MX5 Pro, but who knows. For the battery, we’re hearing that the device will have a 4000mAh cell. To top off all of that, Meizu are said to include a 6-inch 2560 x 1440 pixel screen on the phone.
There’s no real way to ascertain the authenticity of these leaks, but Meizu have proven in the past that they’re no mug with phone manufacture. The coming weeks should tell!
I’m a big fan of Meizu as I’ve bought MX2, MX3 and lastly MX4. I said to myself that this year I’d go for MX5 Pro if it had the same screen size or 5.7″ max, but from what I read there’s no way to buy such a huge bulky phone as I cannot fit in my pocket and I should carry a small bag. I’d wait and see the final leaks before its’ announcement so that I know what to do.
If the MX5 has bezel-less sides, as the early renders seem to indicate, it could be as narrow or narrower than either the Galaxy Note 4 or Mi Note Pro. Granted, I’d rather have a bezel-less 5.5″ display.
Very interesting, I wonder what the price of this upcoming device will be?
someone knows something about m1 mini international version? or another device with <5" of good company (no doogee or elephones please)
i want something less than 5" with good hardware and quality but no too expensive like mi4i
The M2 just came out but the M1 is still actually faster but i like the look of the new m2 better. Other nice brands to check out with solid builds are UMI they just released a couple solid phones and have a new flagship coming in a month or so with the Helio X10 i heard and will be packing a ton of powerful hardware and is full alloy build. Also you can get your hands on the older Meizu MX4 at really low prices now on Geekbuying, saw one for $295. Uhh lets see who else, Oh lenovo has some great phones at really good prices too like the Vibe shot that i think looks so cool and the build is very strong aluminum and gorilla glass, as well as the Vibe Z2, and Vibe Z2 Pro though it costs a bit more but looks really cool and damn strong. I personally like the new Huawei P8 and P8 lite they look so nice and sleek and look like executive level stuff esp the P8 but that costs a pretty penny right now. You might also like the Huawei honor 6 or 6 plus they are cheap on Geekbuying and Gearbest, and the Geekbuying anniversary sale is on so you can get stuff real cheap and they are very reliable as i buy all my phones from either them or gearbest, and they have great shipping options too. I live all the way in Belize, Central America and payed 20USD extra for express shipping on my Meizu MX4 pro and got it in 3 Weeks which is great considering how far i live. My orders with express shipping from the US on ebay usually take 2 weeks so that was pretty fast shipping via EMS. The Asus Zenphone line has some great phones to for really good prices and the builds are solid and the phones perform very well, you definitely get a bang for your buck. The ZTE Nubia Z9 Mini is also a good one with solid build and specs for about 300 bucks . The news Meizu M2 note is brand new and is on sale in 4 different colors on geekbuying for 247USD and ZTE blade which is a solid nice looking phone is available for 214bucks as well and it has nice hardware as well. Finally if you want a great solid build phone with a reliable brand name with amazing hardware for a low price i would tell you to check out the brand new
ZTE Grand S II S291, you cant go wrong, check the specs on that thing and you’ll see what i mean, and its only 249USD on sale now at geekbuying. Also for all the phones i listed here you can go to kimovil.com an it shows you a list of online retailers that use paypal and lists them in order from lowest price to highest. You can set the currency type and shipping options on the site. I personally recommend using Geekbuying and gearbest and since i have literally tried them all and most of them give hell before they even ship out your phone. Hope you find what you’re looking for dude.
I forgot to mention that if you really are on a budget and want a really cheap phone but want current gen specs then there is no other phone to consider than the
UMI EMAX, it has 4G LTE, its 5.5inches, it has a MTK6752 64bit, 16GB Rom, 2gig Ram, a 1080p OGS screen with 441ppi, and a massive 3780mAH battery. UMI is a very reliable brand, i had a UMI Zero and it was a solid phone and UMI has a peice of software named rootjoy that’s so easy to use its crazy; for installing a myriad of roms from custom to updates for the stock rom and its all supported and made by UMI. This All costs only 159$ and the phone is all gorilla glass and brushed metal.
I would be sop happy if it were , maybe they can do one better and get a f1.5 aperture Samsung camera, that would probably add $100 bucks to the price-tag though but those low-light pics and color accuracy would be through the roof.
Nowadays, most phones being release, are 5.5, will that be a time when most phones are going to be 6inch?!
any news we’ve heard before was nothing but a speculation of a fan
Listen to me, 41Mpix is stupid on a phone, it makes no sense. People don’t seem to understand what Megapixels are for so they keep demanding more and the pictures are still crappy. Are you planning on printing massive 5ft*5ft pictures ??? then if not 41megapixels are stupid and pointless and don’t improve pictures at all, all it does is let you zoom in closer. 16mpix is fine and it should stop right there and instead they should spend that money on a camera with lower aperture which allows the camera to grab much more light and make for the best photos especially low light, if they can get a f1.8 like the g4 then they will be solid, of course there are other things to consider too.
Well, he points at the fact that the quality of a picture is not measured by the amount of megapixels. That the lumia 1020 shoots perfect pictures, is also dependent on the lenses, aperture ratio, software and light sensitivity and chip size. With more pixels, the light sensitivity will drop and result in worse pictures at night. Although you could compensate it, it is not better from start.
And BTW, the lumia 1020 has a large camera bulge on the rear, it does not look like a phone anymore. And in reviews the camera is said to be slow, so hope you won’t miss a picture.
