Meizu PRO 6
The Meizu PRO 5 launched in September
and had monster specs now half a year later the Meizu PRO 6 launches and
it's smaller? Yes, Number 6 comes with a 5.2" screen.
As expected it's a Super AMOLED with
1080p resolution, but the size took us by surprise as the PRO 6 was 5.7"
and even the MX5 was 5.5". The "killer feature" of the new
screen is 3D Press, Meizu's alternative to 3D Touch. Curved
Gorilla Glass 3 protects the screen.
The Meizu PRO 5 is powered by MediaTek
Helio X25 chipset - the 10-core processor and Mali-T880 GPU have been
overclocked from the X20. You get 4 GB of RAM too.
The company positioned the camera as the
big draw. It has an interesting 10-LED dual-tone flash arranged in a circle. The sensor has 21.1 MP resolution and
measures 1/2.4". The camera also boasts Laser and phase-detection AF. Flash aside, the camera is essentially a
match for what the PRO 5 packed. The battery seems quite small at 2,560 mAh,
but at least it charges fast with the 24W mCharge 3.0.
The Meizu PRO 6 will be available on
April 23 for CNY 2,500 (US$ 385/€ 340) for the 32 GB option and CNY 2,800
(US$ 430/€ 380) for the 64 GB option. Meizu may be looking at a tough sell as both
the MX5 and PRO 5 have very similar features. That said the PRO 5 is actually
more expensive than the PRO 6.
