Chinese Spring Festival is drawing closer and as a result, many smartphone manufacturers have kickstarted their promotional sales during which period there is usually a huge reduction in prices. Meizu has joined the fray today, as the company has announced its New Year deals with a  reduction of up to 300 yuan and even 400 yuan in some cases, applicable to some of its smartphones.

From the announcement, Meizu smartphones which fall among the price reduction include; the Meizu MX6 which got a 200 yuan slash in its price, coming down to 1599 Yuan. The Meizu U10 also got 200 yuan off its price and is now available for just 799 yuan.

In addition, the highest reduction in price was slammed on the Meizu Metal Gift Box version which had a 400 yuan reduction in its price. The device is also available now for 699 yuan. Considering the designs and initial rice tag of these smartphones, we’d say it is a fair and attractive reduction which should get many buyers interested.

Sales are currently on going and already some color variants of the Meizu smartphones on offer are out of stock.
