Meizu is all set to announce the Meizu M1E mid-ranger today (official name to be confirmed soon) and just before its official launch, the pricing of the handset has been leaked. We knew that the company was targeting the mid-range market with this device, but pricing was something we were unsure about till now. However, thanks to a leaked screenshot of one of the top online retail websites in China, Toabao, we kind of know the pricing of the Meizu M1E before launch.

The screenshot reveals that the phone will be available for purchase at 1499 Yuan ($225). If you remember, this is the same price that the Redmi Pro was launched a couple of weeks back. So, the phone must have powerful specs to take on the Redmi rival. The model up for sale in the image came with 32GB of ROM and YunOS. The listing also revealed the colors of the device, Blue, Gold, Rose gold and Silver.

Previous rumors have revealed that the Meizu M1E will come with the Helio P10 MT6755 processor with 3GB RAM and 32GB of internal storage. At the back, you should expect to see a 13MP shooter while up front a 5MP sensor. The screen should be of 5.5-inches with 1080p resolution and the 3100mAh battery inside should support fast charge.

A recent leak had revealed that the Meizu M1E could remotely control various features of a car. However, we are not quite sure what other special features Meizu aims to bring to the table with this new device. The Redmi Pro at $225 brings Helio X25 and dual cameras, so the M1E must have some kind of special feature to do well in the market at the same price as the Redmi model.
