Meizu MX6
Meizu MX6 was made official today at a
dedicated event in Beijing.
The MX6 bets on the metal unibody
(7.25 mm thick), and uses the refined antenna bands we saw on the Meizu Pro 6.
As expected, the MX6 has a 5.5" Sharp-made display of 1080p resolution,
covered with a 2.5D glass to boost its looks.
The MX6 is powered by the Helio X20 chip
with a deca-core processor (2x A72@2.3GHz, 4x A53@2.0GHz, 4x A53@1.4GHz),
Mali-T880MP4 GPU, and 4 GB of RAM. The Pro 6 used Helio X25 chip, which has a
slightly faster A72 cores and a tad higher clock on the GPU.
The main camera is quite interesting -
it's a 12 MP Sony IMX386 1/2.9" type sensor with 1.4µm pixel size and f/2.0
lens, phase-detection AF, and dual-tone flash. This should be the first phone
to use this sensor and Meizu says its quality is similar to the Galaxy S7
series' snappers.
The rest of the MX6 specs highlights
include 32 GB storage, a 5 MP selfie shooter, dual-SIM support, LTE Cat.6
connectivity, and a 3,060 mAh battery capable of fast 24W charging.
Finally, the MX6 runs on the latest
Flyme with a Marshmallow core. The phone will be available in the traditional
Gray, Gold, and Silver flavors.
The first market to get the Meizu MX6 is
China - it is priced at CNY 1,999 (US$ 299) there. The registration process opens
today, while sales begin on July 30.
Meizu will be also offering a Loop
Jacket accessory - it's a flip case with a circular viewfinder for CNY 99
(US$ 15). A special LifeMe Bluetooth speaker will be also on sale for CNY 399
(US$ 60).
