It’s been a while since we saw something from Chinese manufacturer Meizu. Since the company started manufacturing smartphones in 2011, there had only been 4 phones in its lineup. This week, Meizu is adding a new member to its MX family of handsets – the MX4.
The new phablet sports a 5.36-inch IPS panel with a resolution of 1152x1920. The display is protected by a Gorilla Glass 3 panel and is said to have an aspect ratio of 1100:1, brightness of 500cd/m2 and covers 85% of the NTSC color gamut.
Meizu has equipped the MX4 with a MediaTek MT6595 chipset featuring an octa-core CPU with a 2.2GHz Cortex-A17 quad-processor coupled with a Cortex-A7 quad-core processor clocked at 1.7GHz. There’s also a PowerVR G6200 GPU and 2GB of LPDDR3 RAM.
At the back of the device is a 20.7MP Exmor RS sensor from Sony with dual-tone flash. The camera is also protected by a layer of Gorilla Glass 3 and can record 4K videos at 30fps. There’s also a 2MP camera at the front that can record Full HD videos. Meizu has also added Cat 4 LTE to the MX4 as well as HSPA, dual-band Wi-Fi, Bluetooth 4.0 and GPS.
The MX4 will come in 16, 32 and 64 GB versions and will be powered by a 3100mAh battery. It will run on Android 4.4.4 KitKat with Flyme OS 4.0. The phone is constructed from aluminum-magnesium alloy and will be offered in white, gold and gray.
Meizu will start offering the handset starting September 20 starting at $295 for the 16GB model and will go up to $395 for the 64GB variant.
