The OnePlus 2 may be the talk of the town, but Meizu’s MX5 is doing all it can to compete against the phone.
The MX5 is due to launch in India on the 26th of August via online marketplace Snapdeal, Gadgets to use reports. Which means that this isn’t an official announcement, but something you should take with a pinch of salt.
The MX5 (review) is Meizu’s most powerful phone on the market yet. At just 1799 Yuan or US$289, the phone is among the more affordable flagships. It comes with a 5.5-inch 1920 x 1080p display, 3GB of RAM, and is powered by the MT6795T aka the Helio X10.
Now since there’s no official word on an India launch, there’s no pricing info either… but if we were to speculate, a 17,999 INR price tag for the Meizu MX5 would be our first guess. Xiaomi’s Mi 4 and a few other phones including the OnePlus One sell for around that much in the country, and the MX5 would be an addition buyers would welcome.
