We only heard first yesterday about the Meizu M3X from a leaked GeekBench score. Today the phone has been officially announced, it sports a rather new design for a Meizu device and some more neat features. Let’s have a look!
Meizu M3X Specifications
- Display: 5.5-inch Full HD Sharp
- MediaTek Helio P20 at 2.3Ghz CPU with Mali T880MP2 at 900MHz.
- 3GB/4GB RAM
- 32GB/64GB ROM
- Camera: Primary 12.0MP Sony IMX386 LED flash
- Camera: Secondary 5.0MP ƒ/2.0
- Battery: 3200mAh
- Flyme 6 based on Android 6.0.1 (Marshmallow)
- Weight: 165g
- Dimensions: 153.8mm x 76mm x 7.4mm
Meizu M3X Features
The Meizu M3X is covered in 2.5D glass on both sides with a CNC machined metal frame in-between, Meizu calls this “the most daring design” ever adopted from the Chinese manufacturer. The smartphone features a glossy back which some people say resembles the Honor 8 in some ways and it comes in four colors: black, gold, blue and white.
Meizu’s M3X will be the first smartphone on the market packing the MediaTek Helio P20 processor, MediaTek’s first 16nm chip with 40% increase in performance, and 60% in power efficiency.
Gizchina News of the week
At the same time it will support the new LPDDR4X-1600 memory and eMMC 5.1 flash memory, which compared to older LPDDR4 will save about 17% of energy.
The Meizu M3X will come with a 5.5-inch Sharp screen and TDDI technology, to significantly enhance the touch stability. On the camera side it’ll sport a Sony IMX386 sensor, 12 megapixel , F2.0 aperture, 6P custom lens, PDAF phase focusing with the new ArcSoft beauty algorithm. This is the same camera present on the Meizu PRO 6s and MX6, so pretty much the best they can offer.
The handset supports LTE Cat.6 300Mbps baseband and dual carrier aggregation. It packs a 3200mAh capacity battery with 12 hours battery life (at least on paper) and it’ll be able to fast charge at up to 18W.
The fingerprint scanner on the Meizu M3X is situated on the front of the device but it doesn’t sport an heart rate sensor like the Meizu Pro 6 Plus just announced as well.
The Meizu M3X will be available in two versions: 3GB + 32G for 1699 ($246) and 4GB + 64G for 1999 ($290).
That’s everything we know this far, we’ll keep updating the post as more details come out.
What do you think about this new mid-range smartphone from Meizu? Let us know in the comments below.
I love it, it’s the first Meizu phone that actually caught my attention.
Sadly it’s not Meizu phone lol… It’s a clone of Elephone s7… It’s a new low for a company like Meizu to clone other chinese phones…
At least they manage to give better support and quality components.
Still waiting for my update on p6000 as promissed 2 years ago. Never again elephone!!
lol you mad? Elephone been cloning smasung and huwaei and other companies for years. Elephone are basically a clone manufacturer, meizu are not.
really? how come elephone has released their s7 way sooner than the new m3x been released? read the comments, everyone is saying m3x is a clone of other phones…
lol, the elphone s7, there is a clue in the name about what it is a copy of, see if you can guess it…Please don’t make me go back and find all the elpephone clones over the years it will be embarrassing.
Elephone copied Samsung. The big difference is that the galaxy s7 edge screen is legitimately curved instead of using a flat panel with curved glass to loom pretty. Also, the meizu has a flat screen instead of curved. It looks more like a huawei phone if anything.

Looks fantastic. Shame about the battery size. Would have preferred something closer to 4000mah.
Wow!! Edge to edge ditto copy from Elephone S7 lol ????
It’s not really “edge to edge”, it’s flat. If it resembles anything then it would be an Honor 8. 😉
No, this definitely looks like elephone s7, I just googled and it really does look identical, Meizu just changed the logo on the back and added “designed by Meizu” when in reality they haven’t designed or engineered the phone lol
It may look similar, but there is one distinct difference…. The meizu will actually work well.
can’t argue with that lol
Google huawei as well. Huawei did it first and elephone copied them.
These guys are getting paid. If you get their emails on fb you you can see their emails on elejob forum rewards. Don’t bother explaining, really..

Man, this is getting out of control.
It’s getting sickening.
9/10 posts in here is about Elephone, and when I try to read a non-Elephone post I have to deal with the comments bringing up Elephone bs.
Unbelievable amounts of these paid trolls.
This website is a shade of it’s former self …
Looks fantastic. Shame about the battery size. Would have preferred something closer to 4000mah.
I can’t believe it!!! Is a photocopy of Elephone S7!!
Shame of You!
Shame on Elephone for copying Huawei. Don’t flatter elephone by thinking Meizu copies from Elephone. They copied from Huawei fyi. Just like Ele did.
I was a Meizu fan but now I’m feeling so bad! Copying someone edge to edge is so shameful :/

lool, elephone just a cheap copy of honor and samsung
but if price is low it is best .. huawei is jealous of apple now went greedy too much so i don’t like hem anymore ..
https://youtu.be/dfviGfNYna0
Ele s7 is shit. Even one of the famous china phone reviewer you tuber says so. Haha
it needs software updates.. that’s it.. but next one will be much better .. I own s7 edge and I HATE edges.. you can’t properly hold the phone ! u have to be careful if you don’t touch edges with palm otherwise it stops for example typing ..ridiculous..
My previous phone was vivo x5pro thinking going back .. it is best smartphone
Major bugs out of the box. Its what elephone is. Ive had 2 elephone phones. Same case and bugs never fixed. That’s why you dont buy elephone. Everything is a hype and show until you’ve had one. Haha. Better to stick to high end chinese brands like xiaomi, vivo, meizu, huawei, leeco and such
I never had one but one former work colleague in my previous job hat P5000 and it was disaster phone.. He even had only roaming signal on both sims.
The sim cards were from the actual country..
One day elephone will be quality in few years 🙂
People were saying that about elephone a few years ago too. The only thing elephone is going to donis overhype devices by feeding sites useless news and pay people to comment on them.
i really don’t understand how someone would pay someone for one comment? you too brainwashed.. i wud never give nobody cent for some pointless comment.. which only 5 ppl will read 🙂
I’m brainwashed? I’m sorry to have to say this but you’re an idiot. The phenomenon is called astroturfing. Many major corporations, like Samsung has done it. If you are serious about learning, you would read this. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Astroturfing
It explains the uses for said phenomenon. Also, elephone has a website where they obviously pay people to comment on elephone articles on hundreds of forums. Here is said website: http://www.elephone.hk/job
There you can blatantly see them paying for comments on websites. Also goodwill, a very frequent commenter, exposed a guy for getting paid for comments. You can read that here:
https://disqus.com/home/discussion/gizchina/elephone_gets_the_mediatek_stamp_of_approval_for_helio_p20_usage/#comment-2921502092
Read the thread. Goodwill posts evidence of a frequent elephone commenter being in the top 10 paid commenter on the elephone job website. Las but not least you can read this thread where Airyl, a gizchina blogger, openly admits to knowing about the elephone commenters:
https://disqus.com/home/discussion/gizchina/elephone_supersize_with_the_dual_camera_elephone_max/#comment-3035893564
Read the whole thread. Now, you can choose to read this information and educate yourself on bad business practices, or you can pretend that it doesn’t exist. I couldn’t care less. If you choose to to ignore these facts, then I suggest you keep your comments to yourself because you don’t have anything to add the the conversation. 🙂
Brainwashed doesn’t mean anything bad or makes you bad it is expression that you filled with bullcrap from internet and you started accepting it naively..
Amd not idiot as I don’t believe anything sht only certain things and even those I inspect if it’s really true.. Why am nit paid then?
They are just from elephone and they have normal wages.. They are not much paid.. Maybe they’ll get some small bonus that’s it..
Don’t rely on wiki much it is written by ppl anyone even you can edit and weite there ..
Yep. You’re an idiot. You haven’t inspected anything at all.
ok bye pathetic sad weirdo 😉
No real argument as usual. Bye random elephone supporter. Hope you enjoy being on my block list… 😉
Also if price is low it is best is a very stupid comment. If it has the best quality then it is best. And that is by no means elephoney.
elephone 8 will be beast
Presenting Meizu M-XXX
we copy Samsung S7, Elephone S7, Honor 8
Actually we merged them all ???
Lol
Do you really think Meizu would copy Ele S7? really.. seriously.. haha. They probably don’t even know Ele exist. Obviously Meizu copied Huawei. Which Elephone did TOO with the S7. Don’t be a sore loser. You’re already picking up spare change from elejob
Lmao. Didn’t goodwill already prove you got paid by elephone?
Weren’t you already busted for posting fake comments to get paid by elephone? https://disqus.com/home/discussion/gizchina/elephone_gets_the_mediatek_stamp_of_approval_for_helio_p20_usage/#comment-2921502092

Lol true definition of copy cat ???
Yeah. Elephone should be ashamed of themselves for copying Samsung. Then, they did it badly at that.
https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=dfviGfNYna0
I really like the improvements of the new SoC “with 40% increase in performance, and 60% in power efficiency” and that the new flash memory “will save about 17% of energy.”
🙂
what is meizu ? Lower elephone division and another concept design copy
Meizu is one of the oldest players in the field. My first China-phone was a Meizu (M8 FE) and I love that brand ever since.
Concerning deisgn, not sure if I agree upon the statement that it’s an Elephone copy. Pretty sure Meizu and Elephone (and many others) take their ideas about design from many other factors. The Elephone S7 looks a bit like another S7 and maybe the Meizu M3X looks a bit like the both of them. Elephone H1 has a similar back-cover design as the M3X. And the list continues. Every brand does it. Take a look at the Elephone R9 and the iPhone 🙂 Does it matter? Not for me at least

Yep. You’re an idiot. You haven’t inspected anything at all. You’re either naive or blatantly lying/trolling. No one can be that stupid. Who said you arent paid? You might be which is why I said at worst you’re blatantly lying/trolling. As far as your assessment of wikipedia goes, at the bottom, there are these things listed called sources. Click on them and you will see where the information comes from. Everything without said sources are noted and pages are monitored for vandalism. Stop relying on bad annecdotal evidence before spreading your stupidity. 🙂

Looks good, might buy one when the prices settle.
Well done Meizu with the last 2 releases.

well, this is clearly an S7 with meizu logo on it hahahahha
honor 8 and elephone s7 ripoff
exactly….
You mean Samsung rip off? No one really cares about this phone anyway. The real release from meizu is the pro 6 plus that has an exynos chip. This, like the elephone s7 is cheap garbage.
copycat, copycat, is this some kind of joke, seriously bro, they need new designers
rule no.1: never copy your idols 😉
You mean this idol? https://youtu.be/dfviGfNYna0 you must be joking. Haha.
l guess this is the game now… R9 kinda looks like iPhone but, noone cares,at the end of the day none force us to purchase our devices, taste best thing…
Nobody cares cause its elephone. Its to be expected tht these cheap china low quality phone to copy.
So you get mad at miezu for supposedly copying elephone but when someone posts proff of how elephone copies all of a sudden no one cares? Stop being a stupid hypocrite…
Oh, this phone looks amazing! Too bad we will have to wait a bit of time before getting our hands on it! I think it looks worth enough to get it, besides Meizu never disappoints! haha

So basically its an Ele S7 with bezels for $50 extra – at least it comes in White but overall I say ‘Try Harder Meizu’ .
It’s M3x, not M3x Note, so why exactly is it in 5.5′ size?
Price to specs ratio doesn’t look impressive at all. If Flyme is the only bright side here, it may not be enough…
