Yesterday, Meizu sent out a teaser with the words “the long era of 1110”. Given the timing and the way it was written, we thought the company was going to announce some kind of partnership with the Finnish company, Nokia.

But it looks like, the company was trying to say something about its new smartphone launch, which will take place at an event on July 29. Earlier today, the company sent out invites for the event and inside each invite was the mighty Nokia 1110 phone.

It looks like Meizu is trying to tell its fans that the new Meizu M2 will be a classic device like the 1110. This Nokia phone sold in plenty, thanks to its super cheap pricing and this is probably why it sent out Nokia 1110 inside its invites. Well, we expect the pricing to be cheap, around 599 Yuan, to directly compete with the Redmi 2A. Also, note that on starting up the Nokia 1110, you will see the date 7.29 but you won’t be able to make calls or messages with the device.

As for the specs, Meizu M2 had hit TENAA recently. It came with MT6735 quad-core chip clocked at 1.3GHz, 2GB RAM, 16GB of expandable storage, 5-inch 720p display and a 13MP camera. The phone had a 2450mAh battery on board. As compared to the first generation Meizu M1, the new model would upgrade in areas like RAM, Storage and CPU.

Well, according to the latest teaser, you can expect to see this launch on July 29. Stay tuned for more details.

We have been hearing a lot about the successor of the Meizu M1 entry level handset. The company seems to be unveiling brand new Blue Charm devices every six months. Earlier this month, we saw Meizu release the Meizu M2 Note and today, we have come across a TENAA listing of the Meizu M2 hinting that the launch might be near.

The listing reveals that Meizu M2 will feature a 5-inch 720p display with MT6735 quad-core 64-bit chipset. The highlight of this chip is its full network connectivity support. There will be 2GB RAM on board, which is another welcome move for an entry level device. As for the cameras, there will be a 13MP shooter at the back, along with a 5MP front facing one. The battery is also pretty decent, and is of 2700mAh capacity. Finally, the phone supports dual SIM dual standby with 4G LTE and will run on Android 5.0.1 Lollipop version right out of the box.

The overall design looks a lot like the M2 Note, just a bit smaller. You can even see the physical home button below the display as well as the power button on the right.

We still don’t know the pricing of the handset, but it should be somewhere around 599 Yuan, to compete directly with Xiaomi’s Redmi 2A. Meizu has an event later this month, on June 30. We could either see the new Meizu M2 or the new top-end flagship for 2015, Meizu MX5.

Unfortunately, it could be any of the two, so its best to wait and see what the company has in store for us at the event.
