Rumours today suggest that the Meizu MX6 will be the companies first phone to support all Chinese networks and may be priced at 200 Yuan less than the up coming Xiaomi Mi5.
After details of a mastery Meizu phone showed up in official documents recently, the Meizu community are now concerning themselves with the possible launch of get another top of the range Flyme machine.
According to reports this morning, the MX6 will support all current Chinese 3G and 4G LTE networks making it the first Meizu to be offered in one model compatible with all networks. This is good news for Chinese buyers but what about the rest of the hardware?
Apparently the Meizu MX6 will continue with a similar thin bezel design to the MX5, but will see an upgrade to the Mediatek Helio X20, 4GB RAM and a larger 4000mAh battery. The phone is also said to have an 8 mega-pixel front camera and 20.7 mega-pixel rear.
The use of a Mediatek chip in the MX6 could also suggest that the MX and Pro lines will continue to run separately from one another. MX phones could continue picking up the latest Mediatek hardware while the Pro 6 could retain a Samsung Exynos chip (or even move to Qualcomm).
Reports go on to suggest a retail price of 1799 Yuan ($276) for the phone. In comparison the it s expected that Xiaomi might retain the 1999 Yuan price point of the Xiaomi Mi5, but it’s phone will sport a Snapdragon 820 chipset. 200 Yuan price difference in China might seem like a lot, but for international buyers there isn’t going to be much difference between to the retail price of either once resellers have added their cut.
It will be slower than the MX5 Pro in general, so a smaller price tag is to be expected.
I do believe the MTK have a really strong competition from Qualcomm this year, unlike in 2015, so they might have dropped the price on the X20.

Meh, no doubt another supposed Miezu ‘flagship’ with no OIS or low aperture camera. Rather it was priced higher or similar to mi5 and fully speced, instead of cutting corners and priced lower.
So you already have seen the detailed specs and know what camera does or doesn’t have?
So far all the leaks I have read about have not alluded to OIS or low apertures at all. I’d love to be proven wrong obviously but meizu seem to have been reluctant to include them even on their most high end handset the pro 5, so don’t know why they would include on mx6. Ideally i’d like my next phone to be a meizu and was excited for the pro 5 mini due to the smaller size. But chances are the mx6 will be too large for me and the camera will be weak in low light. I am also concerned about Flymes bugs, notifications do not work properly at all on my M2 mini. While i’m not a big fan of MIUI anymore, spec wise xiaomi always deliver and I think this will be the case with the mi5 too, so I don’t really understand why meizu seem reluctant to properly go head to head instead of just dropping their price and cutting a few corners.
None of the leaks for Mi5 have alluded to OIS either. Notifications work fine on the MX5, and the support has been excellent with it. The only thing Meizu doesn’t go “toe to toe” with Xioami on is the processor, Xiaomi uses Mediatek/Samsung, Xiaomi uses Qualcomm. Other than that the specs are always comparable between the MX and MI(#) phones.
