Meizu might not necessarily be a brand that many of us would have heard of or have owned, but over in China the company is a pretty big deal and at the rate they are going, we wouldn’t be surprised if they wanted to expand more into the US market. That being said the company has recently announced the Meizu PRO 5.
This is the company’s most expensive phone to date, which is saying a lot given that Meizu, just like a lot of Chinese OEMs, tend to pride themselves in creating affordable and value for money handsets. Now as you can see in the image above, the PRO 5 is a pretty stylish-looking device. In fact its design seems to have influences from both Apple and HTC, which aren’t bad things.
So what can we expect from the PRO 5? For starters it packs a 5.7-inch Full HD display. Under the hood, Meizu will be using Samsung’s Exynos 7420 chipset, which is interesting as Samsung’s chipsets rarely make it into other brands. It will come with 3GB/4GB of RAM, a 21MP rear-facing camera, a 5MP front-facing camera, 32GB of storage, and Android 5.1 Lollipop with Meizu’s Flyme 5 UI running on top.
Sounds pretty good right? So how much will this cost? The Meizu PRO 5 will be priced starting at $439 for the 3GB/32GB storage model, and $486 for the 4GB/64GB storage model, and is expected to be released on the 12th of October.
