Yesterday the Meizu Founder J.Wong posted a first picture of Meizu’s next Flagship, the Meizu MX5. From what we can see the Meizu MX5 will have extremely thin bezels, and a physical home button similiar to the Meizu MX4 Pro. 

This is the first official picture of the Meizu MX5 that Meizu’s founder posted yesterday

Originally J.Wong posted the pictures as a response to the new Galaxy S6, which has a similiar looking home button. As you can see on the picture the Meizu MX5 gets really super narrow bezels and a brushed metal look. On the first look this Design is quite similiar to the current MX4 Pro, but the Home Button is slightly different. Also the edges are more rounded, which gives the Meizu MX5 an more elegant look.

From other information we have the Meizu MX5 will come with a vastly improved new camera, with 41MP. This would make the MX5 truly remarkable, the only other comparable smartphone cameras that come to mind are the Nokia 808 PureView and Nokia Lumia 1020.

Further we expect the Meizu MX5 to sport Mediatek’s newest CPU, the high end MT6795, that was just announced last month. The MT6795 is an true Octa-Core 64bit Processor, which clocks up to 2.2Ghz. The Chips supports displays up to 1,600 x 2,560 resolution and even 480fps Full HD videos. Most likely we will see 4GB of LDDR4 RAM in the Meizu MX5. The Meizu MX4 Pro comes already with 3GB RAM and Meizu is known to have the latest specs in their powerful smartphones. Other leaks include a 5.5″ 2K QHD display on the Meizu MX5. Probably this will be similiar to the 16:10 display with a 1,536 x 2,560 on the Meizu MX4 Pro.

J.Wong showed us the design of the new Meizu MX5. The Meizu MX5 release date is expected to take at least a few month more and will be probably priced around 1999yuan, in line with the MX4 and MX4 Pro. If Meizu really packs a 41MP Camera in the MX5, which is not too unlikely if you know Meizu, then they will have a real hotseller on their hands.
