A Meitu phone with the model number MP1801 was seen on TENAA a few days ago. Sadly, no images of the phone were provided along with the listing. The page has now been updated with photos which give us a good look at the phone’s design ahead of its official unveiling.

The first thing you notice is the phone’s triple front-facing cameras. The sensors are pretty large and are housed in a notch that is visible when you brighten the photo. There is a sensor flanking the cameras at each side of the phone. Apart from the cameras, the phone’s orange frame is also visible at the top and bottom of the phone.

The image provided of the rear shows the phone is covered in a mix of leather and metal. The leather covering the upper part above the camera seems to be pale pink while that of the lower half is mint green with orange dots trailing the middle. There are also four holes at the bottom – two on each side.

The camera housing is a large hexagon with a metal frame that runs across and connects to the main frame of the phone. The Meitu MP1801 has dual rear cameras and is flanked by dual LEDs on each side. The phone has its volume rocker on the left while the power button along with another button which we believe is a dedicated camera shutter are on the right side.

The listing mentions a fingerprint scanner but there isn’t one on the back or sides of the phone which means it is probably buried under the display.

Last year, in November, Chinese smartphone manufacturer Meitu launched its flagship smartphone under the company’s V-series — Meitu V6. Now, the company is preparing to launch a new flagship smartphone this year.

According to the reports, the company is likely to ditch MediaTek’s processor and could instead opt for Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 845 chipset, which powers most of the flagship phones launched this year. Notably, the Meitu V6 was powered by MediaTek’s Helio X30 chipset.

Recently, details about Meitu’s upcoming smartphone with model number MP1801 appeared online through Geekbench listing, which revealed that the phone will be powered by Snapdragon 845 processor along with 8GB RAM. Further, it mentions that the device will be running Android 8.1 Oreo operating system out-of-the-box.

While the Geekbench listing shows the device model number, there’s no confirmation that the phone is indeed the company’s upcoming flagship smartphone. However, looking at the specifications, it’s likely the company’s flagship device.

Meitu V6, launched last year, is a luxury device which comes with a colorful hand-stitched calfskin leather that is available four different colors, 18K gold rivets on its back and gold colored metal frame. The phone also features four cameras — two on the back and two on the front side, along with four LED flash on the back panel.

At the time of launch, the Meitu V6 smartphone was priced at 5,099 Yuan (approximately $745) for the Standard Edition, while the Advanced Custom Edition costs 6,999 Yuan, which roughly converts to $1022. To know the pricing of the upcoming flagship smartphone from Meitu, we’ll have to wait for the company to officially launch the device.
