It is speculated that the Meizu 15 trio will be available for reservations from April 18 and the official sales will be begin from April 29. The entire specs of the Meizu 15 series have been revealed through their TENAA listing. Rumors have it that the high-end Meizu 15 Plus will be fueled by Samsung’s Exynos 8895 chipset that powers the Galaxy S8, Galaxy S8+ and Galaxy Note 8 smartphones. The Meizu 15 Plus handset has appeared on AnTuTu today. It suggests that Meizu could be testing performance of the smartphone before its official launch as it has been found listed on the benchmarking platform. The AnTuTu listing confirms that it will be driven by the Exynos 8895 SoC.

As the TENAA listing of the Meizu 15 Plus had revealed, it features a display that produces QHD screen resolution of 2560 x 1440 pixels and it offers a conventional aspect ratio of 16:9. The Exynos 8895 SoC that includes Mali-G71 graphics powers the phone along with 6 GB of RAM. It has an internal storage of 64 GB. The device is loaded with Android 7.0 Nougat, but recent reports claim that it will be customized with the all new Flyme 7 UI. The Meizu 15 Plus has scored an average benchmarking score of 19,027 on AnTuTu.

As far as other specs of the phone are concerned, its TENAA listing had revealed that it could be available in 4 GB RAM option and 128 GB of storage.

The handset will be arriving with a huge AMOLED display of 5.95 inches.

Meizu will soon celebrate its 15th anniversary by releasing a new line-up of phones: Meizu 15, 15 Plus and 15 Lite. They have already been certified by TENAA with the model numbers M881Q, M871Q and M891Q. While the standard and the Lite version will be mid-rangers, the Plus variant will be the best flagship ever released by the company. A new live photo is now showing the standard version of the upcoming line-up resting on a MacBook Pro by Apple. From the photo, we can clearly see a design with incredibly narrow bezels on three sides.

There is no notch and there is not even space for the front camera on the upper part of the handset. Unfortunately, from the photo, we can not see the lower bezel, but we suppose that it will be thicker than the others as we expect it to house the front camera just like the Xiaomi Mi Mix 2S. In our opinion and according to several leaks, Meizu 15 will have a tri-bezel-less design just the latest flagship by Xiaomi. According to the latest leaks, Meizu 15 will come with a 5.46-inch panel which will have the AMOLED technology and a Full HD 1080p resolution.

Under the hood, there will be an octa-core Snapdragon 660 SoC by Qualcomm and 4 or 6 GB of RAM depending on the configuration which you will choose to buy. The battery should have a capacity of 2940 mAh, not much for a device like this, but enough if it is well-optimized. Instead, Meizu 15 Plus will boast a 5.5-inch AMOLED panel which will show images at a Quad HD 1440p resolution. This device will have 4 or 6 GB of RAM as well, but its SoC will be more powerful. The name of the chipset has not been confirmed but it should be either the Snapdragon 845 or a Samsung Exynos.

Meizu will celebrate its 15th anniversary by releasing three phones on April 22: Meizu 15, 15 Plus and 15 Lite. According to Chinese sources, Meizu 15 Lite (which will be the cheapest handset as even the name suggests) will have an extremely low price, at least in China. In the country, the device is expected to cost less than €200: in detail, its launch price is tipped to be 1,499 Yuan, which roughly translates into $238/€192. Its an incredibly good deal if we consider the rumored specs of this device.

Indeed, according to leaks, the device will be powered by a Snapdragon 660 SoC which is the best midrange chipset by Qualcomm. This is yet to be confirmed and it is also hard to believe, but if it will be so, Meizu 15 Lite will be one of the best handsets in terms of quality-price ratio. Other rumored specs include a 5.46-inch IPS display which will show images at a Full HD resolution. A new render of the phone has just surfaced online: it shows the black variant with a full metal unibody design. On the rear side, there is a single camera paired with a 10-LED flash, while on the front side there is a circular fingerprint reader.

Meizu 15 Lite is expected to be released in several configurations. It will be possible to choose between 3, 4 or 6 GB of RAM and 32, 64 or 128 GB of internal storage. While the Lite variant will be the cheap one, Meizu 15 Plus will be the flagship version. It is tipped to come with a 5.95-inch display showing images at a Quad HD resolution. Under the hood, there should be an octa-core Samsung Exynos 8895 chipset which is the same as Samsung Galaxy S8, 4 or 6 GB of RAM and 64 or 128 GB of internal storage. Unlike its Lite sibling, it will also have a dual camera setup.

The Meizu 15 will come with a 5.46” AMOLED display with the traditional 16:9 aspect ratio. The Lite version will keep the screen size above but will be LCD while the Meizu 15 Plus will come with a 5.95” QHD AMOLED screen.

Only the Lite version comes with a single rear camera while the other two come with dual rear cameras. All three phones sport a 20MP front facing camera, a front-mounted fingerprint scanner, and run Android Nougat.

We are also familiar with the look of the three phones as TENAA provided images and there have been a fair amount of leaked photos on the internet.

Meizu is gearing up to launch its anniversary edition smartphones, which includes Meizu 15, 15 Plus and 15 Lite. While everything related to the smartphones have already been leaked, the company has not yet announced the official launch date.

However, the latest report suggests that the Meizu 15 series smartphones will first go on sale in China from 29th April. Thus, we are now expecting the smartphone to get launched in the coming weeks.

According to the previous leaks, the smartphone will come with the traditional 16:9 aspect ratio display and not the trending 18:9 aspect ratio. The Meizu 15 is expected to feature a 5.46-inch Full HD display while the Meizu 15 Plus will come with a 5.95-inch 2K display.

Under the hood, the Meizu 15 Plus will be powered by Samsung Exynos 8895 processor with 4GB/6GB RAM and 64GB/128GB internal storage, while the Meizu 15 will be powered by Qualcomm‘s Snapdragon 660 processor and have 4GB/6GB RAM with 64GB/128GB onboard storage.

Both the devices — Meizu 15 and 15 Plus will feature the same camera configuration – 12MP + 20MP on the rear and 20MP on the front. Running on Android 7.1 Nougat operating system out-of-the-box, the phone will be powered by a 2,900mAh battery while the 15 Plus will pack 3,430mAh battery.

Along with this, the company will also be launching the Lite variant smartphone, which is said to come with a 5.46-inch display and powered by a 2.2GHz octa-core SoC but may not be the Snapdragon 660.

If you missed the full TENAA reveal of the Meizu 15 Plus, you should check it out here first. For those who have already seen that, then you may want to read on for the full specs of the Meizu 15 and Meizu 15 Lite.

Meizu 15

The Meizu 15 has a 5.46” 1080 x 1920 display and it is AMOLED like that of the 15 Plus. It is powered by a 2.2GHz octa-core processor which is said to be the Snapdragon 660. There is 4GB/6GB of RAM and 64GB/128GB of storage.

The Meizu 15 might be smaller and have a less powerful processor than the 15 Plus but it comes with the same camera configuration – 12MP + 20MP on the rear and 20MP up in front. It also has 3x lossless zoom.

There is Android 7.1.1 on board and a 2,940mAh battery. It also has a fingerprint scanner buried beneath the circular home button. TENAA says it will come in Brushed Black, Ceramic White, Brushed Gold, and Brushed Blue.

Meizu 15 Lite

The Meizu 15 Lite keeps the 5.46” FHD screen of the Meizu 15 but swaps it for an IPS display. It is also powered by a 2.2GHz octa-core SoC but may not be the Snapdragon 660.

The Meizu 15 Lite will come in 3GB, 4GB, and 6GB RAM variants with 32GB, 64GB, and 128GB of storage. Unlike the other two, there is storage expansion for an extra 128GB.

The post TENAA: Meizu 15 Has 5.46” AMOLED Display, Meizu 15 Lite Has 5.46” LCD Display appeared first on Gizmochina.

With the Meizu E3 out of the way, the focus is now on the Meizu 15. The anniversary edition flagship is expected to come in three variants which have been spotted on TENAA.

The three devices are listed as the Meizu M891Q, Meizu M881M, and the Meizu M871Q which we believe are the Meizu 15 Plus, Meizu 15, and Meizu 15 Lite respectively.

Meizu 15 Plus (M891Q)

The Meizu 15 Plus has a 5.95” display. It packs a 3430mAh battery and measures 153.8 × 78.25 × 7.25 mm. It runs an undisclosed version of Android and has dual SIM support.

Images provided show the phone has dual rear cameras. The cameras are stacked vertically and sit in the middle of the phone. There is also a ring flash below the setup. Power button is on the right and volume control buttons sit on the left.

Up in front, the phone has slightly smaller bezels. The front facing camera sits at the center of the top bezel and the bottom is home to a circular home button. This likely doubles as a fingerprint scanner.

Meizu 15 (M881M)

The Meizu 15 packs a smaller 5.46” display along with a smaller 2940mAh battery. The dimensions are also smaller at 143 × 72 × 7.25 mm.

The design is identical to that of the Meizu 15 Plus with the only difference being the gold brushed metal back instead of black. However, the front of the phone is black too with the same circular home button.

Meizu 15 Lite (M871Q)

The Meizu 15 Lite has the same 5.46” screen as the Meizu 15 but it is possible the resolution is lower. It has a slightly bigger battery too (3000mAh/3050mAh) and measures 143.62 × 72.38 × 7.5 mm.

The significant difference is in the design and camera. The rear is home to a single camera but it has the same ring LED flash. The back is metal with a matte gold finish and visible U-antenna lines at the top and bottom.

The front of the Meizu 15 Lite is white but it shares the same design as the other two. The white bezels lets us see that there is an earpiece at the top of the camera. It is a very thin slit positioned at the edge of the frame which explains why we didn’t see it on the other two.

The SIM tray and power button are on the right and the volume control buttons are on the left.

Meizu will be launching the Meizu E3 mid-range phone on March 21. The company is also expected to launch Meizu 15 series soon after the launch of Meizu E3. The Meizu 15 lineup that includes Meizu 15, Meizu 15 Plus and Meizu 15 Lite will be unveiled in celebration of the 15th anniversary of the company. All the family members of the Meizu 15 have received 3C certification and their key specs have also surfaced.

The three family members of the Meizu 15 series with model numbers M891, M881 and M712 has received certification from China Compulsory Certification (3C) in China. The 3C certification is a mandatory product approval system in China that supervises over charger rates for smartphones.

The 3C certification of Meizu M881 and M891 reveals that they carry support for 24W fast charging and a new UP1220S charger. It is speculated that the Meizu M891 and M881 model numbers respectively belong to Meizu 15 and Meizu 15 Plus. The M712 that is enabled with 18W fast charging could be arriving in the market as Meizu 15 Lite.

The Chinese manufacturer has officially confirmed that the Meizu 15 will be powered by Snapdragon 660 and the Meizu 15 Plus will be arriving with Samsung’s Exynos 8895 chipset. The Samsung SoC can be found under the hood of flagship phones like the Galaxy Note 8, Galaxy S8+ and Galaxy S8. It is speculated that the Snapdragon 636 chipset will be powering the Meizu 15 Lite.

The Meizu 15 series will be arriving with 18:9 aspect ratio supporting display. Like the Meizu M6s and the upcoming Meizu E3, the Meizu 15 family members will be equipped with side-mounted fingerprint reader.

According to a Japanese publication, the Meizu 15, 15 Plus and 15 Lite phones have appeared on official Android site. It has revealed that the Meizu 15 will be coming with 5.5-inch display (probably AMOLED), 4 GB of RAM, 64 GB and 128 GB internal storage options and Android 7.1.1 Nougat OS.

Previous reports have suggested speculated that the Meizu 15 series will be unveiled in China in April.

Meizu’s focus may be on the launch of the E3 which has been scheduled for March 21 but it is also working on its flagships – the Meizu 15 Plus and its siblings.

The anniversary edition phone is reported to come in three versions – the Meizu 15 Lite, the Meizu 15, and the Meizu 15 Plus. There have been lots of leaks with respect to the three devices but one key feature that has not been confirmed is the processors that will power each of them.

There are rumors that the Meizu 15 Plus will be powered by a Snapdragon 845 or Exynos 9810 but the chances of that happening are slim. Meizu’s head of global marketing, Ard Boudeling had said in a tweet recently that using a Snapdragon 845 processor will drive the cost of the phone up.

New info with respect to the SoCs powering the phones have surfaced online. The info comes from a tech blogger on Weibo who goes by @Technology Wolf.

In a post from last week, he revealed that the Meizu 15 and Meizu 15 Lite will be powered by Snapdragon processors while the Meizu 15 Plus will feature a Samsung (Exynos) processor. None of them will be powered by MediaTek.

In a new Weibo post today, he said the Meizu 15 will come with very thin bezels and be powered by a Snapdragon 660 processor. He even includes a photo of the phone with the “About Phone” section visible which confirms the device is powered by the SDM660.

It is also reported that he had disclosed earlier that the chip inside the Meizu 15 Plus is the Exynos 8895. This is the same chip that powers the Galaxy S8/S8+/Note8. The Lite variant on the other hand is expected to come with a Snapdragon 636 processor.

After the Spring Festival, Meizu will get into full gear for the year. There are two main launches on the horizon for now – the Meizu E3 which is scheduled for March 6 and the Meizu 15 Plus launch whose launch date is still unknown.

When the Meizu 15 Plus launches, we expect it to come with a sibling which we have always referred to as the Meizu 15 until a few weeks ago when we learnt that it would be called the Meizu 15 PRO. However, that doesn’t seem to be the case.

Chinese leaker @MMDDJ_ revealed in a tweet yesterday that the second phone will actually be called the Meizu 15 and not the Meizu 15 PRO but he also mentioned a third device called the Meizu 15 Lite. This means Meizu will be announcing three new phones to mark its 15th anniversary and not two.

There are no details regarding the specifications of the Meizu 15 Lite but our guess is that it may have showed up in one of the numerous leaks that have surfaced in the past. Hopefully, more news will surface before the official release.
