Chinese tech giant Meizu has officially unveiled a new entry-level smartphone that goes by the moniker Meizu M8C. The device was first launched in Russia and that isn’t surprising considering that Meizu enjoys a decent amount of following over there.

The M8c is said to be the successor of the M5c which made its debut last year and was recently certified by FCC running Android Go. The phone packs a 5.45-inch display with an 18:9 aspect ratio and a HD+ resolution of 1440x720pixels. The device is powered by a Snapdragon 425 chipset accompanied by 2GB of RAM. On the storage aspect, you get either a 16GB or 32GB of expandable storage.

On the camera end, the Meizu M8c packs a 13MP camera with a f2.2 aperture, PDAF, panoramic lens, continuous shooting and the ArcSoft algorithm. On the other hand, the selfie camera is an 8MP sensor with f/2.0 aperture. It lacks a fingerprint scanner but uses Face Unlock. Further, the battery on the Meizu M8c is a 3,070mAh unit.

Talking of the price, the Meizu M8c is available in Red, Gold, Blue and Black and is priced at RUB 9,990 (€140). There is no word yet on its availability outside Russia.

Meizu is one innovative Chinese phone maker that we believe isn’t where it is supposed to be up at the top. The company is climbing up gradually and targeting the international market is the sure way to go. That is what the company seems to be cooking up going by a recent FCC listing for two new Meizu models. The models come with the model numbers Meizu M809L and M810L was certified by the U.S regulatory agency recently which is a signal that the models may soon go official.

The names of the models are not yet officially revealed but a reliable source hinted that the M809H/L will be christened Meizu M8c and the M810H/L known as M8c Lite. They are likely successors of the Meizu M6, M6 Note and M6s which went official in September last year. Meizu seems to have skipped the number 7 in the naming of the next M-series models.

The next Meizu lineup, after the number 6, should continue with the number 8 and these could be the new models:
M8 or M6T or Meilan 6T = M811H/C/M/Q
M6E or E3 = M851H (re-certified by Google)
M8c Lite = M809H/L (Android Go)
M8c = M810H/L (Flyme)#meizu #bluecharm #lineup #flyme

The FCC listing gave a glimpse of the specifications of both models and from the look of things, they are entry-level phones. The M8c is expected to feature a single 13MPrear camera as well as an 8MP selfie camera. The device also comes with a 2GB RAM and 16GB of storage. The M8c also run on Android-based Flyme OS. The M8c Lite, on the other hand, looks more interesting as it is an Android Go smartphone which means we get stock Android. The rest of its specs are pretty low-end and it includes a single 8MP rear-facing camera, a 5MP front-facing camera, 1GB RAM, and 8GB internal storage.
