After a cancelled Indiegogo campaign and the redesign that the phone went through, the Elephone PX pop-up camera phone is finally here and today the company kicked off the Giveaway campaign. The event will last a whole month and will end on October 30th so this time it’s hard to miss. To participate, all you have to do is claim as many entries as possible through the Gleam platform here.

Now, as far as the full specs of the device are concerned, the mystery remains as the Chinese manufacturer hasn’t revealed much until today. The only specs we can confirm are those that are mentioned on the official page. So, the device will come with a 6.53″ display that covers the most part of the front panel. Of course, it comes with a pop-up camera and judging from the press photos, a dual rear camera will be available as well as a rear-placed fingerprint sensor. We expect the disclosure of the full specs to take place soon.

A popular Weibo blogger recently shared an interesting piece of information about Li Nan in the WeChat group. Apparently Meizu has had plans to release a full screen device since 2017, but the idea and product never came to fruition. To this end, we’ve actually got some sketches that show early concepts for a bezeless device from Meizu.

The photo of the design sketch shared by Li Nan was taken on November 12, 2017 in Xiangzhou District, Zhuhai City. It shows the concept design of three different takes on full screen devices. They’re very rough takes, but they get the idea of a bezeless device across. We also get a thickness of 8mm on these, and a possible price of 3299 yuan.

 According to the blogger who broke the news, the device was going to be called the Blue Charm Zero, but the idea was unfortunately cut early. It’s a shame, because according to Li Nan, Meizu had the idea for pop-up cameras long before Vivo, and they simply didn’t act on it. If they had, it’s fully possible the current smartphone landscape could look very different.

Unfortunately, it seems like Meizu’s slowing down steadily recently, and they haven’t got much to show for it. Just a couple of days ago Meizu’s system engineer, Hong Hansheng, left the company, and before that we also had Li Nan leave. As of right now, the company has yet to make any big announcements, though we hope we hear something from them soon.
