News & Reviews:   Meizu MX5 specs

Meizu recently and quietly launched the Meizu MX5E, a variant of last year's MX5 with a new pricing tag at CNY1699 (RM1026). This device is a toned down version of the MX5 in both specifications and price.  As for now, the availability of the phone outside of China is still not known so no Malaysia release date just yet. There was also no prior announcement from Meizu in regards to this device when it was released.

What do all these three devices have in common? The answer - they all look like Apple iPhones or more specifically, the iPhone 6. So if you happen to be looking for an iPhone 6 clone for your Christmas list, you’ve come to the right place. We are comparing not two but three smartphones for a three way match - The Lenovo Sisley (also known as Lenovo S90 Sisley) vs the HTC One A9vs the Meizu MX5! Who will come out victorious? Read on and you’ll find out, let the clone wars continue!

Meizu have officially announced their latest Meizu MX5 smartphone with a number of premium features you don't often see for a device coming in from 1800 CNY (RM1081 for the version with 16GB storage). This includes a fingerprint sensor built into the home button and more. The 32GB storage version will be going from 1999 CNY (RM1214) while the 64GB version will go for 2399 CNY (RM1441). All versions will feature a 5.5-inch FHD AMOLED screen with a rounded full metal casing that makes it look nearly exactly like the Apple iPhone 6 Plus. Even the 20MP rear camera protrudes a little but makes up for it with laser autofocus, 4K h.265 format video recording and dual tone LED flash. Other tech specs include a 2.2GHz MediaTek Helio X10 Turbo processor, 3GB RAM, 5MP front camera and 3150 mAh battery. At just 149g and 7.6mm thin the Meizu MX5 is rather light for a full metal smartphone. No Malaysia release dates or pricing details yet, but with Meizu Malaysia here, it should only be a matter of time before it reaches Malaysia.
