A couple of days ago Huawei announced a new full-screen phone that is going to make a tough competition to the Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 that will hit the market on March 16. But what’s amazing another device is going to attack the Xiaomi model. It’s the Meizu E3, which is set to launch on March 21. As for now, we have learned everything about it.
The Meizu E3 will be a high-competitive model if taking into account its price. Today it became known the phone’s price tag will start at 1499 yuan ($237) instead of the previously rumored 1799 yuan ($285). This price tag should be set for the 4+32GB memory option, while the 6+128GB variant is expected to cost 1999 yuan ($315).

As for hardware, the Meizu E3 will be packed with a 5.99-inch full-screen that comes with an 18:9 aspect ratio and a resolution of 2160×1080 pixels. It will be using a full-metal design with antenna strips on the top and bottom. A dual-camera will be placed on the upper left corner. It will be arranged vertically, while the Charm Blue logo (mblu) will be placed on the lower side.
What’s interesting, it’s reported the Meizu E will be using the same Sony IMX363 sensor that is going to be found on the Xiaomi Mi MIX 2S. Thus it will provide way better camera performance than the Meizu M6 Note. The rest of features include a Snapdragon 636 chip, a 3000mAh battery supporting 20W fast charging. Thus it comes with almost the same features as the Redmi Note 5. And the price is almost identical as well.
Sounds great, as long as it comes with android oreo il definietly consider it instead of upcoming chinese version of Redmi Note 5 Pro. I love that blue version. The only thing i dont like is its small battery.
my thoughts exactly! 3000mah for 6 inch display unit? I mean come on! Even the M6 Note had a generous 4000mah, and it had a 5.5 inch display, along with a decent power saver sd625…
Yeah, its almost unacceptable, they have such big surface to work with and yet they cant put decent battery in. With that huge display, that isn’t even oled, its gona run out of juice faster than you can say “where is my power bank”.
hahaha word! True, this would have been kinda acceptable if the screen was oled. I dunno, what Meizu is thinking… I was planning to invest in a m6 note, but i’ll wait till the real world results come in for this…but so far the battery capacity ain’t helping it.
battery capacity isnt really the issue, its how well the manufacturers optimise it, most “flagship” phones dont come with massive batteries but they have pretty good battery life, in most cases better than these cheaper handsets with 4000-6000MaH batteries. recently ive used the Honor 9 Lite, thats only a 3000MaH battery but i was getting 2 days of normal usage between charges, my old Redmi note 4 with the same usage was worse & that had 1000MaH more
