More dodgy screenshots try to prove Meizu will use Exynos chips

AndiSeptember 28, 2016

It seems some people just won’t accept that Meizu have moved on from Samsung and are happy using Mediatek chips,

Meizu broke off their long-term relationship with Samsung not so long ago and have been using Mediatek chipsets in all its phones (bar the odd one here and there) for a few years now, but fans are still clinging on to the hope that Exynos chipset might once again drive a Flyme phone in the future.

A new screenshot has been shared online today which tells of a new mystery device named the Meizu_m96 that as well as coming with a Samsung Exynos 8890 chipset, runs Android 6.0.1, a 2560 x 1440 display, 5GB RAM and a 12 mega-pixel rear camera.

Yeah! we hear all the Meizu fans cry, but hold your horses! This screenshot is obviously fake with the font for both the phone model and chipset details clearly photoshopped on (in a difference font/weight) after.

This isn’t to say Meizu won’t be on Exynos chips, or that another Meizu phone isn’t in the pipeline (knowing that company they probably have another 10 phones on the way), but this certainly isn’t proof of either.

  Because they need something to fill the space between 2 ads… It usually is a third ad, but on rare occasion it’s also a obviously fake rumor coming from the weibo account of a 13yo who only has access to ms paint as a photo editing software… Writing on a blog is an hard job some days!

  Because it’s either do these fake articles or review phones. Gizchina has decided that the fake news articles are much more important.

That’s like SUPER FAKE 🙂
Meizu have simply failed with their software optimizations(X20 and P10 chips run abysmal in gaming on some titles). Camera results from the M3 Note and MX6 and Pro6 are nowhere near comeptition standards(considering Meizu phones are not as cheap as Xiaomi)
Meizu have always had some software optimization issues, but the market back then was not that competitive and we were forgiving, now it`s a whole differenet ball game.

The only reason Meizu didn’t use Exnyos on the Pro 6 was because the 8890 didn’t have full network support in China. This has been repeated by top officials from Meizu over and over again. People want a Exnyos from Meizu so badly that they completely ignore official statements from the company and instead believe random “leaks”.
Meizu and Samsung have a long history of partnership. Most of the very first Meizu phones used Exnyos chips and Meizu continues to use Samsung displays, camera sensors, SSD’s etc. If Samsung provides full network support in the next Exnyos, Meizu will use it again.

  They have used Exnyos on past flagships. Only reasons they didn;t this year was because of network support, Exnyos doesn’t support all of China’s networks and Meizu didn’t want multiple versions of the same phone.
