Meizu MX5 and Huawei Honor 7, both are the newest smartphones of their manufacturers and launched on the same day. Therefore, they cannot avoid a comparison in terms of specs, design and prices.

Before going into differences between Huawei Honor 7 and Meizu MX5, we would like to say something about what they have in common. Firstly, they debuted on the same day, June 30, 2015. Secondly, they are flagship phones representing their well-known brands in China, Huawei and Meizu. Last but not least, they are all FHD and 3GB RAM devices. Though 3GB is not as strong as the most powerful 4GB nowadays, it still can promise you good performances.

Now we would like to take a closer look at some main differences between Meizu MX5 and Huawei Honor 7:

Meizu MX5 vs Huawei Honor 7: Design

As we can see, both Meizu MX5 and Huawei Honor 7 own full-alloy bodies, yet MX5 has a bit more rounded corners than its peer. Owning a smaller screen, the Honor 7 is also smaller in dimensions: 143.2 x 71.9 mm vs 149.9 x 74.7 mm of MX5. However, it does not make Honor 7 slimmer than MX5. In fact, Honor 7 is thin at 8.5 mm while the MX5 measures just 7.6 mm. Moreover, MX5 is even lighter than the Honor 7: 149 grams vs 157 grams, respectively. Apart from those things, the color options are not very different.

Meizu MX5 vs Huawei Honor 7: Specs

Looking at the specs table, we notice that both devices are quite different from each other when it comes to their key features:

Display

As we have mentioned above, Huawei Honor 7 has a smaller screen, 5.2-inches to be specific, while MX5 goes with 5.5 inches. Despite the same FHD display, Honor 7 comes with a higher pixel density: 424ppi vs 401ppi of MX5. Yet, it does not turn out that this Meizu phone will lose to Huawei, for MX5 features a AMOLED panel, which will help render colors better than the IPS panel display on the Honor friend.

Fingerprint scanner

The Honor 7 has a rear fingerprint scanner placed on the back, similar to that of Huawei Mate 7. Meanwhile, MX5 comes with a fingerprint sensor too but not on the back; it’s built in the home button which Meizu company calls the mTouch reader. So, in general, some people find it more convenient when using the scanner on the front surface because they will be able to unlock the phone lying on a table without picking it up and turn. Well, how about you? Which one would you prefer? Front or back?

Cameras

First, we have to say that they both have a great combo of camera, up to 20MP or even more for the rear cam and 5MP or more for the front-facing shooter. Of course, MX5’s main cam is a bit better than Honor 7’s (20.7MP vs 20MP, respectively). Nonetheless, Honor 7 boasts a brighter lens with f/2.0 aperture, protected by sapphire glass compared to the MX5’s f/2.2 lens, protected by a layer of Corning Gorilla Glass 3. On the other hand, the MX5 comes with a faster laser auto-focus than the phase detection auto-focus technology found in Honor 7.

For those who love taking selfies, perhaps Honor 7 would be a better choice since it has a more powerful 8-megapixel selfie snapper; MX5 has only 5-megapixel sensor.

Battery

In terms of cell, there is a very slight difference: 3100mAh for Honor and 3150mAh for MX5. Tehy two come with support for fast charging tech.

Meizu MX5 vs Huawei Honor 7: Prices

Meizu MX5 is going on sale with three variants as the following: 1,800 Yuan (RM1,098) for 16GB, 1,999 Yuan (RM1,219) for 32GB, and 2,399 Yuan (RM1,463) for 64GB.

Huawei Honor 7 is also available in three variants: single SIM and 16GB priced at 1,999 Yuan (RM1,219), dual SIM and 16GB at 2,199 Yuan (RM1,341), and dual SIM and 64GB at 2,499 Yuan (RM1,524).

Overall, it is easy to see that Huawei Honor 7 is a bit more expensive than the Meizu MX5.

Conclusion: 

No matter how different they are, we want to welcome both of them to be on-board. They are the newest ones up to now, coming with pretty good specs, designs and prices.

On June 30, 2015, Huawei Honor 7 was released as the successor to Huawei Honor 6. Well, today we would like to show you some pictures of Huawei Honor 7 hands-on smartphone, which has a complete upgrade with a fingerprint scanner.

Honor 7 owns a metal slim body and a 5.2-inch screen. We can see that the front surface is designed simply. On the back, there is a fingerprint scanner with fast speed of 0.5 seconds to unlock the phone. On one side of the machine, we see the special “Zhiling key” which can be used to launch voice services at any time.

Huawei Honor 7, the successor to Huawei Honor 6, will not let you down, both in terms of specs and design. As we know Honor series is supposed to deal with high specs and good price tag. That’s kind of a hard problem, right?! Let’s see if Huawei Honor 7 can impress consumers based on such goals.

Many people think that Honor 7 is better than the company’s current flagship Huawei P8. As for the design, Honor 7 owns an aluminium alloy cover with a 5.2″ Full HD display, the same as Huawei P8‘s. Kirin 935 64-bit octa-core processor is in charge of powering the whole phone, paired with 3GB RAM. You will have 2 choices over the ROM. One is 16GB and the other is 64GB of internal storage. Huawei Honor 7 also supports a dual SIM 4G LTE and microSD for further expansion up to 128GB.

Moving on, the Huawei Honor 7 launch also revealed the camera, which is excellent when packing a 20MP f/2.0 Sony IMX230 Exmor RS sensor and fast Phase Detection Auto Focus. The front-facing snapper will make selfie lovers excited since it is capable of 8MP f/2.4 with 1.4micron pixel size, a 26 mm wide angle lens, a soft flash for better illumination and the latest version of Huawei’s auto “beautify” feature. It seems like Huwei Honor 7 will promise you the best shots of your summer!

Other specs include a similar 3,100mAh battery together with quick charge enabling the handset to reach 50% in just 30 minutes. Besides, there is a new generation one touch fingerprint scanner which unlocks the device in only 0.5s. Another key feature for Honor 7 specs is its voice control function. You can use that to launch apps or play music your voice. Finally, it will run on Android 5.0 Lollipop with EMUI 3.1.

Huawei Honor 7 Specs:

According to some reliable sources, Huawei Honor 7 price is going to be set at 1,999 Yuan for the 16GB version (about RM1,217 for Huawei Honor 7 price in Malaysia) and 2,499 Yuan (about RM1,521) for 64GB ver. However, note that the price info is applicable for the Chinese market for now, and perhaps there would be changes when the smartphone goes on international sale.

To recap, we are quite impressed with the looks and features of Huawei Honor 7. Basically, it boasts a 5.2″ FHD screen, a Kirin 935 chip and an excellent 20MP camera. If it comes to Malaysia, what is your expectation for the price?

Other than that, we have to admit that despite seeing many leaked images of Honor 7 before, we are a bit amazed by the real look of the smartphone.

Both Huawei and Meizu are going to officially launch their new flagship phones: Huawei Honor 7 and Meizu MX5. We are really looking forward to see them in person though there are a lot of rumors as well as renders spreading these days.

To quickly recap on those strong competitors, let’s look at the new Honor and Meizu in terms of specs and design:

Huawei Honor 7 Specs:

The device is said to own a 5-inch Full HD screen paired with 3GB RAM and 16GB of storage. Huawei’s own Kirin 935 processor and 3,280mAh battery will be in charge to power the whole machine.

Meizu MX5 Specs:

According to recent leaks, Meizu MX5 is going to have a full alloy cover, boasting a 5.5-inch 1080p display, which will write its name in the list of the best phablets in 2015. Besides, as we have mentioned in the previous posts, the new handset will own a 3,150mAh battery, updated Turbo version of the 2.3Ghz Mediatek MT6795T octa-core processor and a 20MP primary camera. The whole phone will run on FlymeOS 4.5 on top of Android Lollipop. Also, there could be space for a 128GB SD card and a fingerprint scanner to be on board.

But, lately, Xiaomi‘ President, Mr. Lin Bin, has announced that they will also have something special for June 30, 2015. What a day!

Previously, people expected that Xiaomi would release a new Xiaomi Mi Note Pro variant before 30 June. However, through the picture of Mr. Lin Bin on his Weibo, he, wearing a Brazilian soccer uniform, claims that Xiaomi will bring a surprise for everyone on June 30.

So, this is the first time we have heard about the plan. So, mysterious! Will it be related to Brazil? Or will it be the variant of Xiaomi Mi Note Pro with Brazilian style?

All the questions will be answered on June 30, 2015. Can’t wait!

UPDATED NEWS: Huawei Nexus 2015 specs have been leaked!

After the partnership between Huawei and Google was confirmed by an employee of Huawei in the UK, now we’ve got an even more exciting new about the Huawei Nexus 2015 specs. A popular leakster @evleaks has just revealed some detailed features of one of the most anticipated flagship in the H2 of 2015. 

According to the leaks, the handset will be equipped with the upcoming Qualcomm Snapdragon 820 SoC, a 5.7-inch QHD screen, and a fingerprint scanner. Moreover, the Nexus produced by Huawei will start its shipment in the Q4.

So, it is important to note that we are glad to be informed of the Huawei Nexus 2015, but we should take the info as a pinch of salt. None of the specs is claimed officially. Anyhow, if that the case, Huawei Nexus 2015 will be worth the wait!

———————

Over the last months, we are informed of the new Google Nexus in 2015 produced by Huawei manufacturer. And now we have got a publication claiming to have received confirmation. Actually, this information is from a Huawei employee in the UK.

Huawei Nexus 2015

Of course, the new Nexus will be coming at the end of 2015. Huawei and Google are working well together to release an amazing smartphone. It is also quite easy to notice that Huawei company wants to get their brand name more recognized in the mobile market, which can be helped by the association with Google in the Nexus project. So, we guess that they will try their best to make an outstanding Nexus.

On the other hand, sources say that Huawei will not be able to put the Nexus on sale in their home market, which is China for sure. It is because most Google Services have been banned in China. Yet, who knows what can happen in the next months. Everything can be changed. Perhaps Huawei Nexus 2015 with the same hardware but with tweaked software will debut here.

However, there are not many details spotted for this flagship device. What we’ve got so far is some leaks mentioning that Huawei Nexus will own a 5.7-inch QHD screen and a Qualcomm Snapdragon 810 processor. Some even says that Nexus is likely to draw its inspiration from Huawei P8. Though, Huawei has not confirmed anything officially while Google refused to give any comments. So, we should be waiting.

To recap, once again there is information saying that the next Google Nexus generation will come out this year! And this time, it is claimed by a Huawei employee. It increases the possibility of the appearance of Huawei Nexus around the end of the year. Worth waiting, right?!
