Meizu will be 15 years next year and to celebrate
its anniversary it will release a special edition phone. The only info we had
until today of the phone, called the Meizu 15 Plus, is its release which is
scheduled for Spring, and an image of its retail box. However, an image
surfaced online today, giving us our first look at the upcoming flagship phone
as well as revealing the price.
According to what’s in the image above, the Meizu 15
Plus will have a full-screen display with a tri-bezel-less design similar to
that of the Xiaomi Mi MIX 2. The top bezel is super thin and doesn’t look like
it houses the earpiece, but we can’t confirm it doesn’t have one until a
clearer image surfaces.
The front camera and sensors are now housed on the
lower bezel but they are not the only ones there. Rather than push the
fingerprint scanner to the back like other manufacturers, Meizu has kept the
mBack button in its usual position.
The back of the phone shows that the Meizu 15 Plus
will come with dual rear cameras positioned vertically in the middle. Below the
sensors is a flash and laser focus module in a ring design like that of the
Meizu PRO 6. There is also the Meizu branding a few mm from the camera setup
and an antenna line at the bottom.
The image also reveals the price of the phone. There
are two prices which means there will be two variants that will most likely
differ with respect to storage and probably RAM too. The more expensive variant
will cost ¥ 3499 (US$ 528) and the less expensive variant is said to be ¥ 2999
(US$ 453), which makes sense even though we can’t see the first figure.
There are still a bunch of important details we do
not know such as the screen size, the processor type, and the camera
configuration. Over the course of the next few weeks, we believe more info will
be released.
