Among other info, the Meizu M6S is also expected to get a virtual mBack button as an alternative to navigation keys. Contrary to what has been reported by some on social media, Meizu will allow its M6S users to choose between virtual navigation keys and a virtual mBack button. The signature mBack button would function the same as the physical mBack key according to sources.

    keep the price under $200 and i might snag the Exynos Variant !

    Why can’t they just add the mBack button functionality to the side finger print scanner. Surely it makes sense to do that?

      Yup. That makes sense too.

    “The Exynos 7872 is a low-budget SoC”
    Nope it’s rather good midrange SoC, as fast as S65x & S66x one’s on CPU front (2x A73) & GPU front (MALI G71 MP3).
    While MT6750 is lo budget and even old one for that segment with 4x A53 @ 1.5GHz & 4x @ 1 GHz coupled with MALI T860 MP2 GPU.

    Rather disappointing from Meizu.

      If you’ve ever used Meizu’s software you would see Meizu is one big disappointment.

    Nope it’s midrange SoC, as fast as S65x & S66x one’s on CPU front (2x A73), but GPU is a bit of a let down (MALI G71 MP1).
