Meizu released a brand new smartphone today, the Meizu M5S. Thanks to the numerous leaks in the past few days, we already knew a lot about the phone, especially regarding its fast charging capabilities.

Meizu M5S will take on its Xiaomi Redmi counterparts with its super fast 18W charging. While the Redmi smartphones like the Redmi 4 boast of large 4000mAh+ batteries inside, the Meizu M5S comes with a decent 3000mAh capacity battery inside. So, fast charging will definitely be one of the highlights of the phone. The company claims that the phone can charge up to 56% in just 30 minutes.

Looks wise, the Meizu M5S continues the same design philosophy as its previous generation models, coming in an all metal body with CNC finish and four color options viz. champagne gold, rose gold, moonlight silver, and star gray. The phone features a 5.2-inch compact display with 720p resolution and 2.5D curved glass on top. It’s a pretty lightweight phone, weighing just 143 grams with 148.2 x 72.5 x 8.4mm body.
