If you have been following our site, we had reported a couple of days back that Meizu was planning to announce something big at the end of the month i.e. on June 30. However, the company did not reveal what it was going to launch at the event.

Earlier today, Meizu released a new teaser on Weibo with the tag line “Born to Kill”. Now this doesn’t directly reveal the identity of the handset, but it shows that the launch may be of a significant device. And we think its most likely going to be the Meizu MX5 flagship. So, earlier rumors about the Meizu M2 launching at the event could be false.

We can also see the number 630 etched on top of the helmet along with the words full metal jacket. Logically, this doesn’t make much sense, but if we had to find a link, it could be related to the material used on the handset. The 630 could refer to the grade of stainless steel material that may end up as the body of the Meizu MX5. But at this moment, we can’t be completely sure.

As for the specs, TENAA reveals that the Meizu MX5 will feature an octa-core 2.3Ghz chipset with 3GB RAM, 20MP rear camera, 3MP front facing camera and a 3150mAh battery. The display will be slightly increased to 5.5-inches with the same full HD 1080p resolution.

So, it looks like the company will release the MX5 flagship at the event. Stay tuned for more details.

Meizu has been quite for the past few months regarding its new smartphones. The latest we heard from the company was about its special limited edition headphones in partnership with bayerdynamic. Now, it looks like we have some initial information about the upcoming Meizu MX5 flagship smartphone.

Earlier last month, a new image was revealed by the Chairman and CEO of Meizu, Huang Zhang. The picture showed us a new smartphone with a physical home button. While Mr. Zhang didn’t reveal the name of the device, it was said that the uploaded image was of the new Meizu MX5 flagship.

Now, two similar images have been leaked online. These images show off a similar design as the phone shown in March, which makes us believe that this could be the MX5.

The company is due to announce the MX5 model in the coming months and given that the MX4 Pro came with a physical home button, its likely that the new MX5 too could feature such a similar design. But there are a few subtle changes in the button, like now its more oval rather than rectangular, which to be honest looks better than the one on the MX4 Pro. Also, almost every time we see a manufacturer fit a physical home button on its flagship, its for a fingerprint sensor and hence, this particular model too could come with the sensor.

It looks like the rest of the design will be similar to the Meizu MX4, with rounded corners and thinbezels. Unfortunately, at this moment, we have very little idea about the specifications of the device. But we hope to see more leaks in the coming weeks, so stay tuned!
