Meizu is set for something new in September based on an image posted on Weibo. The image which has the words ”Pro than Pro” and another set of words in chinese which loosely translates to ”True Flagship on Your Fingertips” hints at a new phone. A new Pro phone actually.

If you remember, part of the rumours and speculations for Meizu’s ”E” device was for a phone sporting Samsung’s high end chipset, the Exynos 8890 but what we got was another mid-range phone, the Meizu M3E with a Helio P10 processor. This might just be the device. The true Meizu flagship that can compete with other flagships.

The date on the poster says 3rd of September, which is quite strange based on the fact that it falls on a Saturday. No manufacturer (to the best of my knowledge though) launches a device on a weekend.

What device do you think Meizu is launching next month? A Pro 6 with an Exynos 8890 processor or a new Pro phone entirely? Let us know what you think in the comment box.

Just two days after the launch of the Meizu M3E, we are getting rumors that Meizu is allegedly working on another flagship smartphone this year which would be powered by Samsung’s latest Exynos 8890 chipset. This news was disclosed on China’s social networking site Weibo by a user @WandT but he failed to disclose any other detail.

This is not the first Meizu smartphone that will sport the Samsung chipset, in fact Meizu has used Samsung’s chipsets perviously but after the Pro 5, Meizu stopped featuring Samsung processors, instead went for a mediaTek chipset on the Pro 6. It is however suspected that the flagship under works could be the Meizu Pro 7, signalling a return to Samsung chips. In another dimension, it could be a Meizu Pro 6 variant with Exynos 8890 CPU.

Also, the AnTuTu benchmark data for what is suspected to be the rumored Meizu flagship device but only identified as Meizu_m96 has been spotted. The data reveals the device will sport a 5.5-inch display with 2560 x 1440 pixels resolution and also run on Android 6.0 Marshmallow.

The AnTuTu benchmark record did confirm the device as being equipped with a Samsung Exyno 8890 processor with Mali-T880 GPU, backed by 4GB of RAM and 32GB of bult-in storage. The Meizu flagship is also touted to have a 12MP rear facing camera and a 5MP front facing camera. The phone scored nearly 120k on the Benchmark app.

Samsung’s Exynos 8890 chipset does not come with entire network support, which has been the current trend among phone manufacturers in China. So it remains to be seen whether Meizu will use this chip inside its next flagship.
