The new flasghip Meizu Pro 6 is finally here for real and starting today it’s available in various Chinese retail stores. So there is a glimmer of hope for us not directly in China, that it also means swift availability in the reseller stocks with worldwide reach.
That would inevitably also mean some unfortunate price jump, because i doubt the resellers will match the 2499 yuan (384$) Chinese price for the 32 GB model. Not to mention the first customers buying the phone until April 30th are getting free EP21HD headphones in China. Well a man can dream…
Gizchina News of the week
We have covered the Meizu Pro 6 launch quite extensively including the controversies about the alleged subpar specs in comparison to Pro 5, so for those interested in reading up more about it nothing easier than to follow the links to those articles.
I’m still cautiously optimistic about the phone myself, but worried a bit especially about the battery capacity, because the 2560 mAh battery combined with the Helio X25 processor is pretty sketchy on paper. We should get a sample for a review hopefully soonish so all the questions are going to be answered and until then you can check the detailed specs of the phone here.
Coming from someone who thinks Ulefone is the greatest thing ever I’ll take that as a compliment.
my phone = Lumia 1020. sorry about camera pro.
i dont understand why you walking backwards with meizu. No language available . frugal battery, ugly design cloned, old imx230 camera still 29.97fps, mid-range gpu. and expensive phone.
1. No language available – English is available, that is the only language I need.
2. Frugal Battery – My MX5 lasts a day and half on battery. The Pro 6 is yet to be seen.
3. Ugly design clones – There is no phone available today that looks like the Pro 6. It is the most unique design available.
4. 29.97fps – I don’t use it for video much, that is a feature I don’t need.
5. Mid Range GPU – I don’t play games on my phone, I have an Xbox One for that.
6. Expensive – Someone with a 1020 is calling another phone expensive? That is funny. The Pro 6 costs nearly $300 less than the 1020 launched for.
much fanaticism to believe all this at stratospheric price
you do not need any of that, ulefone = cheap !
I would buy this phone because of the look – in my opinion it’s the best looking phone right now. The price of 300-400 EUR is quite reasonable and the specs are more than enough for 90-95% users 🙂 I’ll wait till it come to Europe and maybe swap my sam s6 to this:)
Just came here to say once again: FU Meizu. For years I haven’t been waiting so much for a piece of hardware and they delivered such a dissapointment.
I’d be fine with X25 or battery or camera… but lack of high-end DAC/amp (namely ESS+TI) and MicroSD is a total dissapointment.
Seriously I don’t give a damn if they will present Pro 6 Plus or something similiar in few months time, because it will be again with 5.7 or 6.0″ display.
If they update the Pro 6 with microSD and ESS/TI audio stuff, then I’ll consider buying it.
eric, you should face reality, your next HiFi phone won’t be from Meizu ^^ BTW, no HiFi phone has been announced atm, and every flagship already released in 2016 lack HiFi. Maybe later in MX6 ? or OP3 ? or Find 9 ?
It seems audiophiles have been forgotten by chinese market in S1 2016 (except by Ulephone and its Vienna but… lol can’t be to the detriment of every other aspect of the phone).
Yeah, it looks like you’re right. Honestly I don’t care if it will be Meizu, Lenovo, Vivo, LG or whoever… I’m loving the concept of Sony Xperia Compact series, and I just want a 5.0″ or less flagship (or just good specced) phone with ESS/TI audio (or equivalent) and mSD cards slot.
From all manufacturers over the world why anyone couldn’t do such a thing?
Why don’t you get a V10 ? they’re available at $530 on amazon right now.
Because is waaayyyy too big for me. it’s 5.7″ and I want 5.0″ or less.
Aw c’mon… you’ll never find any mini phone with HiFi… that’s flagship grade material, only shipped with 5,5″+ screen. You’re hurting yourself ^^
