In exactly a week, Meizu will be launching a new device at the Beijing National Convention Center. Lots of speculations have come up online such as it being a high-end phone sporting Samsung’s Exynos 8890 SoC and having a dual curved display.

But a video that was leaked on Weibo shows the same phone whose pictures have been going around lately as the new Meizu E-Series phone.

The phone does feature a metal body, a round camera, straight antenna lines, and a home button that doubles as a fingerprint scanner. There is a hole on the left which is for ejecting the SIM tray. And on the right, we have the volume rocker and power button.

Reports say the E-series phone will run YunOS, have 3GB of RAM, a Full HD display, a 13MP rear camera, and be powered by a Mediatek MT6755M processor.
