We have been hearing about Meizu’s new compact device this year, most likely called as the Meizu Pro 5 Mini. Like the name suggests, the device will be a smaller version of the Pro 5 flagship that was announced last year. However, despite the “Mini” tag, specs wise, the phone is expected to compete with upper mid-range devices.

Earlier today, a new engineering Meizu Pro 5 prototype was leaked revealing a design similar to last year’s Pro 5. As you can see in the image above, the phone in hand is the Pro 5 flagship, while the one besides it is the Pro 5 Mini. You can even see the engineering model number of the device, which hints that this is possibly a prototype.

Today’s leak basically confirms that the Meizu Pro 5 Mini will come with almost the same design as its predecessor. However, there are a few subtle changes like the overall size is smaller, the rear camera flash is horizontal instead of vertical and there probably isn’t any laser autofocus on board the upcoming device. Rest of the design, like the shape and the body materials, seem to be identical, at least from this image.

As for the specs, the Meizu Pro 5 Mini is expected to feature the new Helio X20 deca-core processor with 3GB RAM. Like mentioned above, this will be a compact flagship, rumored to feature a 4.7-inch Super AMOLED display with FHD 1920 x 1080p resolution. At the back, it is said that the phone will come with Sony IMX230 sensor, same as the Pro 5. Other features include a decent 3000mAh battery with fast charge and fingerprint recognition (most likely up front like the Pro 5).

As for the pricing, the Meizu Pro 5 Mini is expected to retail at just 2499 Yuan or $383 when launched. The release date is still unsure but according to earlier rumors, one can expect to meet the phone sometime in the April.

We have been hearing rumors about a small sized smartphone in the Meizu’s Pro series. The phone is said to come with the powerful deca-core Helio x20 chipset. Now, it looks like we might have an approximate release time for the device.

According to a leaked picture taken during a PPT presentation at the China Mobile’s conference, Meizu will release a new smartphone in April next year. The picture also shows that the pricing of the device is expected to be between 1500-3000 Yuan i.e. between $231 and $463. While, the presentation failed to mention the name or model of the device, it’s quite likely that this is the Meizu Pro 5 Mini handset.

A few weeks back, Meizu VP, Li Nan had revealed that they are considering the launch of a new device with a 4.7-inch screen under the Pro series lineup. The device was said to launch in the first half of 2016 with a pricing of around 2499 Yuan. Considering the details revealed today, we feel this phone could launch sometime in April.

According to rumors, the Meizu Pro 5 Mini smartphone will come with a 4.7-inch FHD 1080p display with Helio x20 deca-core chip on board. The phone have a 16MP rear camera and 3GB of RAM. The phone is said to follow an all metal design scheme with fingerprint sensor as well. So, it looks like, the phone going to be very powerful for a device with the “Mini” tag. Except for the display, rest of the specs are going to be pretty high-end.

For now, this is all we have on the Meizu Pro 5 Mini handset. Stay tuned for more details in the coming weeks.
