Curtains Lifted On Meizu MX5

So, it looks like the Meizu MX5 has finally made it to the masses – after a slew of rumors that have made the news in recent times. True to form, it will feature a “Full Metal Jacket” as rumored earlier, where there are a couple of tiny plastic inlays that run through the back in order to ensure decent reception. The handset itself measures 149.9mm x 74.7mm x 7.6mm and tips the scales at 149 grams, which makes it a wee bit heavier than its predecessor.

Your eyes will definitely fall in love with the 5.5” Super AMOLED display with Corning Gorilla Glass 3 protection. It comes with a Full HD resolution which should be adequate enough – for now, and the 3,150mAh battery does look as though it get help you get through the day perfectly fine.

Underneath the hood lies Mediatek’s MT6795T SoC, which is otherwise known as the Helio X10. It happens to be an octa-core chip with all 2.2GHz Cortex-A53 cores, and complemented by a PowerVR G6200 GPU. Accompanying it would be 3GB RAM, a choice of either 16GB, 32GB and 64GB internal memory, a 20.7MP shooter at the back with an aperture of f/2.2, dual-color LED flash and laser-aided focus. Expect it to be able to handle 4K video recording as claimed, while the selfie camera offers 5MP resolution and a f/2.0 aperture.

In order not to lose out to its peers like the Huawei Honor 7, it will also sport a fingerprint sensor like its predecessor. Expect the Meizu MX5 to arrive in deep grey, silver, and champagne gold shades, where there will be $290, $322 and $390 price tags at prevailing exchange rates for the 16GB, 32GB and 64GB models, respectively.
