A little over six months  after the Meizu Pro 6 was released, Meizu today unveiled the Pro 6S which is more or less an upgrade of the Pro 6. The Meizu Pro 6S looks very similar to the Pro 6 in terms of body design and we have got hands-on images of the device courtesy PCPOP. Let’s take a tour to see if any slight difference exist between the two flagships.

The Pro 6S adopts pretty much the same design as the Pro 6. Both smartphones were even placed side-by-side in some of the snapshots and you just can’t tell which is which just by looking at them. The Pro 6S sports same metal body as the Pro 6 and is available in four colors of rose gold, champagne gold, moonlight silver and sky gray. The Pro 6S also has the same 7.3mm thickness and weighs 163 gram just like the Pro 6. Obviously, the main differences between both devices lie in the hardwares.

On the hardware terrain, one of the major difference between the Pro 6 and Pro 6S is the rear camera sensor. The Meizu Pro 6S packs a more powerful 12MP Sony IMX386 sensor same as on the Meizu MX6, while the Pro 6 features a less powerful  Sony IMX230 sensor. The Pro 6S rear camera also comes with 1.25-micron pixel and f/2.0 aperture, custom 6P lens, zero shutter lag, ring flash, PDAF, laser focus and four-axis OIS. The camera also features multiple shooting modes such as manual mode, Pro mode and a new night mode as well.

Another major difference between both the Pro 6 and Pro 6S is the larger 3,060mAh camera crammed under the Pro 6S’ hood with  24W fast charging support, whereas the Pro 6 packs a smaller 2560mAh battery.

Aside those two differences, the Meizu Pro 6S and Pro 6 are very much similar. The Pro 6S uses the same Helio X25 chipset but with a slightly reduced temperature by 3.5 degrees celsius. The Pro 6S equally sports a 5.2-inch FHD AMOLED display with 2.5D glass on top with 10000:1 contrast ratio and 350 nits brightness and support for pressure sensitive touch.

Also worthy of note is that the Pro 6S only comes with a 64GB non-expandable storage whereas the Pro 6 featured a lower 32GB storage version. Another thing is that the Meizu Pro 6S carries a price tag of 2,699 Yuan ($400) which is slightly lower than the price of the 64GB variant of the Pro 6 which retails for 2,799 Yuan ($413). Remember the Pro 6S packs more features, so i’ts a case of getting more for less. Amazing, isn’t it?

Meizu will finally release the much anticipated Pro 6S smartphone today after up to six months in the works. The Meizu Pro 6S is likely coming with an upgrade just on the camera end and battery life, else the device would be similar to the Pro 6, according to words from Meizu officials.

Ahead of the event, the Meizu Pro 6S has already appeared on popular online mall Jingdong (JD.com) where early reservations are already opened for the device. The Pro 6S real image seems to have made its first outing via the reservation poster and it indeed bears a design consistent with the Pro 6. The Pro 6S uses a metal body design with the antenna band on the top and bottom edges. The device is also said to come with entire network support but unfortunately still doesn’t support storage expansion, meaning no microSD slot. The device is also going to be available in various colors.

Since the device will see just a few upgrade from the Pro 6, the price would be the major focus of many. The Jingdong reservation affixed a price tag of 2699 Yuan ($399) on the Pro 6S. The price is for the 4GB RAM + 64GB storage version of the Pro 6S, perhaps the top-end version as there is likely a 32GB ROM version which may likely be cheaper.

On the specs, the Pro 6S features a 5.2-inch display with 1080 pixels resolution and comes equipped with the MediaTek Helio X25 chipset. The phone’s appearance on AnTuTu recently reveals a 21MP rear camera sensor although that may be wrong. The Pro 6S may likely use the same 12MP Sony IMX386 sensor as the Meizu MX6 with support for four axis optical image stabilization. The battery capacity is also increased to 3,060mAh.

The device is said to go on sale on November 7 after today’s launch event. For 2,699 Yuan, would you contemplate buying the Pro 6S?

As the November 3 launch date of the Meizu Pro 6S draws nearer, more details about the expected device are propping up. The latest is an AnTuTu benchmark record for the pro 6S which give some clear cut out details of the Pro 6S’ specs.

According to the AnTuTu data, the Meizu Pro 6S is powered by a MediaTek Helio X25 (MT6797T) chipset along side the Mali-T880 GPU. The device also features on the memory aspect, a 4GB RAM and 32GB of internal storage space.

The Meizu Pro 6S also packs the same rear camera sensor size as the Pro 6, with a 21MP rear camera listed. Meizu yesterday released some sample images said to have been shot by the Pro 6S’ camera and they were simply amazing. They even when ahead to compare them with those shot by an iPhone 7 and the difference was really clear with the Pro 6S’ images looking clearer. So it is also possible that a very powerful sensor is at play on the Pro 6S’ rear camera, although the AnTuTu data didn’t reveal that. The device is also listed as sporting a 5MP front-facing camera and would run on Android 6.0 Marshmallow, perhaps with Meizu’s custom FlyMe OS hovering on top.

Additionally, the Meizu Pro 6S is listed as sporting a Full HD display a.k.a 1920 x 1080 pixels which is likely to be on the same 5.2-inch display as the Meizu Pro 6.

While we were still waiting to see the actual renders of the Pro 6S, Meizu has surprised us with the release of what is said to be camera samples shot by the Pro 6S’ camera. The Meizu Pro 6S had been disclosed to use the same design as the Pro 6 with perhaps so pieces of engineering on the inside. For one, the Pro 6S has been revealed to still likely retain the Helio X25 chipset used on the Pro 6 but the device seems to have seen some bit of upgrade on the camera end and perhaps in some other hardware aspects as well.

Recent Weibo update by a Meizu Engineer reveals some very clear images said to have been shot be the Pro 6S and to clear doubts, the Meizu Engineer could be seen to be blogging using a Meizu Pro 6S smartphone. Some might have wanted the EXIF information but since it was shared on Weibo, that is not available. The photos were also compared to some shots from an iPhone 7 and curiously the photos said to have been shot by the Pro 6S came out better. Definitely, we’ll have to put that to test before believing any bit of it.

However, the launch of the pro 6S is not far off, as Meizu has scheduled a concert for October 31 where the Chinese company is also expected to unveil the Meizu M5. The Pro 6S is now rumored to launch on November 3 and very well, that isn’t far off. We’ll wait to see how that pans out.

Meizu‘s VP Li Nan has earlier hinted that the upcoming Meizu Pro 6s would likely use the MediaTek Helio X25 chipset whih was also on the Pro 6. New details have also emerged about the much touted device, this time from Meizu’s president. The Meizu President has been silent on social media for a while now but he added his voice in teasing the Pro 6S.

According to his words the Pro 6S would likely not see much changes in appearance and performance.
So if you are expecting a device with a spectacular design, you just have to wait a little longer as the pro 6 and pro 6S won’t have much difference. The CEO sees no business logic in releasing a Pro 6S with an entirely new design as was being expected.

This latest pieces of information creates some sort of confusion about the Pro 6S because one begins to wonder the kind of upgrade the device would feature. Perhaps a ramped up memory or camera sensors or new antenna band design, but whatever it is, its not huge. We’ll have to wait for more details on that.

The rhythm of the Chinese phone market is expected to see a change from next month, seeing more devices getting released ahead of the year end sales. It is speculated that majority of the releases would be flagship devices and one of the manufacturers expected with a flagship device or two is Meizu.

Rumors are rife that Meizu is expected with a new smartphone release by the end of October or possibly in November and the smartphone has been given as the Pro 6S which would take over from the Pro 6 released earlier in the year. To be more concise, it is said that there might be two smartphone models one of which will be powered by the MediaTek Helio P20 processor and will go be the moniker Meizu Pro 6S. The Pro 6S apart from having a different processor from the Pro 6 Plus, will also come with a smaller 5.2-inch display.

On the other hand, the second expected flagship is said to be called Meizu Pro 6 Plus and would be powered by an Exynos 8890 chipset. According to the leak source, the Pro 6 Plus will feature a 5.7-inch display but it is unknown if the display would be curved.

On top of that, Meizu is said to be working on redesigning the looks of the devices and that the Chinese phone maker is looking to create a design where the antenna bands are completely hidden. If true, the devices are expected to see a more refined and unified visual effect.

Also worth mentioning is the news that Meizu seem to have manufactured a new device with display screen in the region of 4.7 inches to 5 inches with plastic body. The said device adopts the model number M611A and has received 3C certification in China (pictured above). The details from the production factory also gives the idea the device will run on the Yun OS. We could be looking at another Blue Charm smartphone as well along side the Pro 6S and Pro 6 Plus. But then, we can’t be so sure until the devices are officially announced.
