Meizu M5


Nearing its rumored October 31 launch day, the Meizu M5 now has a TENAA certification to go with the live images, renders, and benchmark results. 

For starters, display diagonal has grown for the first time and after 3 generations of 5-inchers, the M5 will sport a 5.2-inch panel. Resolution is still 720p, though.

There will be a total of three RAM/storage versions if we assume that the three numbers in each field will go hand in hand - 2GB, 3GB and a whopping 6GB of RAM, and 16GB, 32GB and 64GB of built-in storage. Whatever the built-in amount, you'll be able to add up to 128GB more via microSD.

The chipset seems to be the same Mediatek MT6750 as on the Meizu M3 - the 1.5 GHz octa-core CPU in the TENAA listing corroborates the data from the benchmarks. The camera setup has remained unchanged as well - a 13 MP primary shooter and a 5 MP selfie cam.

The M5 has obviously grown in overall dimensions as well and now measures 147.3 x x 72.8 x 8.2 mm and weighs 139 grams. Battery capacity has gotten a small bump from 2,870 mAh to an even 3,000 mAh.
