Meizu MX5E silently debuts in China

Daniel Morial

We are expecting a new mid-range smartphone from Meizu but before that, they silently release a tone-downed version of their flagship.

The Meizu MX5E, which probably got its name from the iPhone SE, is a cheaper variant of the MX5 with all the cuts done to it. Two major changes are present here: a slower processor and downgraded camera. The chipset is now at 2.0GHz from 2.2GHz while the camera now has 16-megapixels rather than 20.7MP.

Meizu MX5E key specifications:
5.5-inch Full HD display, 1920 x 1080 pixels
2.0GHz MediaTek MTK6795 octa-core processor
3GB RAM
16GB internal storage
16-megapixel autofocus rear camera
5-megapixel front camera
Dual-SIM
LTE
Fingerprint scanner
3150mAh battery
Android 5.0 w/ Flyme OS 4.5

Of course, its price tag is also dragged to just 1399 Yuan or less than Php 10k. Its availability is limited to China for now, and international availability is yet unclear.

It looks like Huawei isn’t the only company releasing a device on April 6th, as top Chinese manufacturer Meizu sets its sights straight of the same date to announce their new mid-ranger dubbed the M3 Note.

This comes with invitations enclosed with only the date and the supposed location of the announcement: the Beijing National Convention Center. Not much has been said about the device, but a leaked roadmap we posted earlier today shows some of the key features of this bang-for-the-buck phone. Meizu’s CEO has also mentioned along with the confirmation that the M3 Note will be one of their best-looking smartphones yet.

Meizu M3 Note leaked specs:
5.5-inch Full HD display @ 1920 x 1080 resolution
MediaTek Helio P10 processor
2GB RAM
16GB, 32GB internal storage
3200mAh battery

As for the rumored pricing, the 16GB version would be going with a CNY799 (~Php5.7K) tag, while the 32GB Meizu M3 Note would cost you CNY999 (~Php7.1K). Knowing the recent Meizu devices released in the country, we might see these devices stick around those price ranges, so we’ll see about that in a few months.
