Meizu officially unveiled its budget M5S smartphone today and already we’ve got a large cache of hands-on images of the device right here. The Meizu M5S happens to be Meizu’s first smartphone for the year and it really doesn’t disappoint in the design aspect and even on the specs table.

The Meizu M5S adopts almost similar design language to those of its previous gen models. The device adorns an all-metal body with CNC finish, giving the device a sleek look that some make you forget this meant to be a mid-budget smartphone. Added to a premium design, the M5S has got up to four different paint jobs. It comes in champagne gold, rose gold, moonlight silver and start gray color variants.

Added to the great colors, the device also has a lightweight body build, coming in at 143g. The display is a 5.2-inch display with HD resolution (720 pixels). There is a 2.5D curved glass b top the screen. Meizu M5S packs a decent octa-core MediaTek MT6753 processor. The processor is supplemented by 3GB of RAM and feature a 16GB as well as 32GB storage versions.

If the front view of the Meizu M5S  looks pretty, the back takes it a notch higher with a more beautiful design styling. The rear camera lens is said to have an oleophobic coating on the rear camera lens. There is no fingerprint sensor mounted at the rear instead, the M5S features Meizu’s mTouch fingerprint sensor embedded on the home button up front. Other features you get on the cheap smartphone include 4G VoLTE, dual SIM / dual standby, and lots more.

Providing the interface on the sleek smartphone is Meizu’s Flyme 6 OS with One Mind AI but what is perhaps the most standout feature on the M5S is the 18W fast charging technology it packs. The M5S packs a modest battery and in order to keep the smartphone running 24/7, Meizu has included a fast charge technology on the budget smartphone.

Meizu is scheduled to hold a press conference in Beijing on February 15 where the company is expected to officially unveil the mid-range M5S, its first smartphone for the year. The Meizu M5S is teased as coming with a very capable power supply, capable of fast charge.

Ahead of the launch, the price list of the M5S has leaked on Weibo, giving us an idea of the likely price tag the M5S would launch packing.

We can’t be so sure about having two M5S versions with two different display sizes. Earlier rumors had tipped the M5S as coming with a 5.2-inch display and is equipped with a 1.3GHz octa-core MediaTek MT6753 chip as well as Meizu’s mTouch fingerprint sensor, a 13MP rear camera, 5MP front camera and a 2,930mAh battery. It is possible the leaked price list is a fake one.

The Meizu product schedule that leaked weeks back had fingered the Meizu M5S as being the first Meizu smartphone which would hit the market this year. The schedule specifically listed the M5S as coming in February.

Ahead of what is likely a February launch, a set of renders of the M5S along with its box casing has appeared online showing us some key details of the device. As usual, the box casing comes with a few features of the device written on it. It clearly contains the name Meizu M5S written in Chinese, and the Meizu brand is also inscribed on the charger inside the packaging.

Among the details listed on the casing is a 3GB RAM + 32GB storage, Flyme OS, 4G LTE and it also confirms fast charging technology coming. As a reminder, the Meizu M5S is expected to feature a 5.2-inch IPS display as well as dualSIM/ dual Standby support.

Other details include 4G, Meizu mCharge fast charging technology, as well as Meizu’s mTouch fingerprint identification technology. The M5S is also teased as coming with an octa-core next generation CPU but there is no doubt that isn’t a Qualcomm chip onboard unless Meizu decides to spring us a surprise. The chip is likely a MediaTek MT6753 octa-core processor. In addition, the M5S is listed as coming with a higher 1,299 yuan ($189), different from the 999 Yuan  ($145) tipped earlier.
