Meizu is all set to make a comeback in 2018 with
multiple models rumored to be in the pipeline ready for release in the coming
months. The Meizu mBlu S6, which some refer to as the Meizu M6S, is going to be
the first smartphone from the company this year and from its leaked design, and
rumored specs, there’s no doubt that the phone is here to take on the Redmi 5
Plus. The mblu S6 has just passed through China’s TENAA certification agency,
thereby revealing its key specs and design.
Unfortunately, TENAA reveals that the mblu S6 will
not come with the popular mBack home button that we are all used to seeing on
Meizu smartphones lately. In fact, we don’t see any kind of physical or
capacitive buttons on the front, which means that the phone is going to rely on
onscreen buttons for navigation.
The front of the phone is similar to the Redmi 5
Plus, so there’s a large 5.7-inch 18:9 display with 1440 x 720p resolution. The
back features the U-shaped antenna band design that has become so popular among
metal smartphones in the past one year. The real highlight of the back is the
mblu logo, which confirms that the S6 will be the first mblu branded smartphone
to be released by the company.
On the left you have the volume control buttons
while on the right you have a power button. But just below the power button,
you have a side mounted fingerprint sensor. Companies are usually hesitant to
use a side fingerprint design but Meizu has decided to give it a try on this
model. This keeps the back and front design neat and tidy.
As for the specs, the mBlu S6 comes with the
hex-core Exynos 7872 (4 x A53 + 2 x A73) with Mali-G71 GPU, 3GB RAM, 32GB
storage, 3000mAh battery with 9V / 2A 18W fast charging support. Given the
specs, the phone should compete directly with the Redmi 5 Plus, making its
probable pricing in the 1000 Yuan segment.
