Chinese manufacturer, Meizu, has released a poster announcing the launch of a new phone on January 4. The image reveals a major feature of the phone which is its 18:9 display and our guess is that it is the Meizu M6S/Blue Charm S.

Over the last couple of weeks, there have been a steady stream of leaks regarding Meizu’s full-screen phones – the Meizu M6S/Blue Charm S and Meizu 15 Plus. However, the former has been rumored to arrive first.

With respect to design, the Meizu M6S will be the first phone to ditch the mBack button. That has resulted in the fingerprint scanner, moving not to the rear, but to the side beneath the power button.

For specs, the Meizu M6S will come with a 5.7” 18:9 display and a 2930mAh battery. It is expected to be available in 3GB + 32GB and 4GB + 64GB variants and rumored to be powered by Samsung’s Exynos 7872 processor.

The post Meizu To Launch Full-Screen Phone January 4, Likely Blue Charm S/Meizu M6S appeared first on Gizmochina.

Meizu is working on a full-screen flagship called the Meizu 15 Plus which is set to launch next Spring. Its sub-division, Blue Charm (mBlu) is also reported to be working on a full-screen smartphone.

While there have been rumors of a phone called the Meizu M6S which has been reported to sport a full-screen display, a screenshot surfaced online earlier today revealing the packaging of a phone called the mBlu S with a ¥2500 (~$378) price tag.

According to the text in the image, the Blue Charm S will be launched next month. It appears someone got his hands on a unit and is willing to sell it at the price mentioned above, judging from the rough translation of the remaining text. However, there is also a mention of a ¥2000 (~$303) price which might be the official launch price.

It is not yet confirmed if the mBlu S is the same device as the Meizu M6S or a different device entirely. The latest we heard about the M6S is that launch has been shelved till next year due to a camera debugging issue. Seeing as this phone is set to launch next month too, it may be that the Meizu M6S and mBlu S are one and the same.

Notwithstanding, we are not expecting Meizu to launch a full-screen phone this year. In an interview a few months ago, VP of Meizu Li Nan had explicitly revealed that the Blue Charm line will release a full-screen phone next year.

What do you think of the mBlu S and its unconfirmed ¥2000 price tag?
