The MX6, released recently on 30 July is the latest smartphone from Meizu, a very well-liked company in China. Today, we will give a quick Meizu MX6 review for all of you!

Meizu MX6 review: The highlights

First of all, the performance of Meizu MX6 is awesome! This is because it comes equipped with the whopping deca-core (ten!!!) Mediatek MT6797 Helio X20 processor, accompanied by 4GB RAM and 32GB internal storage. This means that Meizu MX6 can do almost anything you throw at it, like playing visual-heavy games. Just this fact alone makes it worth the buy in this Meizu MX6 review.

Another strong point of this phone is camera. This is the very first smartphone in the world equipped with the camera sensor IMX86 from Sony. Coupled with 12MP camera at the back, it is truly a powerhouse in terms of photography. The front camera is 5MP, also very decent for selfies. A large screen pf 5.5-inch full HD display is also great for fliming and photography. For this Meizu MX6 review, we think the camera is the biggest selling point of this phone.

Last but not least, the design of this phone is also very sleek, almost perfect. As stated before, this phone is inspired by the Apple iPhone a lot, and we can see very clearly (some may call it “copy”, but we’ll save that for another day). However, Meizu has put in their own touch as well: the camera, besides being powerful, is put at the middle of the back side. This means the chances of users accidentally cover a part of the photo with their dangling fingers is now greatly reduced. The outer shell also looks very elegant. Software wise, it sports Flyme 5.2 OS based on Android 6.0 Marshmallow, so UI will be really good.

Meizu MX6 review: The drawbacks

We said that the design is “almost” perfect. That means, like any other phones, there are imperfection with Meizu MX6 as well. The one design drawback we want to talk about is the decision to leave out the ‘back’ and ‘recent apps’ button. Instead, you just touch slightly for 2 or 3 times on the home button to perform those functions. It may not be that big of a deal to some people, but it can certainly turn off some of us, and it needs getting used to. Still, a small drawback in this Meizu MX6 review does not invalidate the fact that this is still a very good phone, and it’s available for only RM 1200 (about $300).
