Meizu will officially announce the MX6 flagship next week, on July 19. The company has been teasing the upcoming handset, but we have got to know much more about the phone via recent leaks. Now, the latest information leaked online reveals the pricing of the Meizu MX6 and it’s much higher than its predecessor, the MX5.

The leaked document reveals that the Meizu MX6 will be priced at 2299 Yuan ($344) with a Smart Cover. It looks like the company is planning to sell this cover alongside the phone during launch. As for this pricing, it much higher than its predecessor, which retails for 1799 Yuan ($270). But this news is not a surprise considering, Meizu’s co-founder had already said that due to similar processes used in the MX6 as the Pro 6, the pricing was going to touch the 2000 Yuan mark this year.

The smart cover will be something interesting as it reportedly comes with different colored LED lights to inform you of the notifications. We also have seen a couple of renders of this smart cover, and you can read all about it from here.

An increase in price may not be good news for Meizu fans, but the co-founder had previously revealed that the Mx6 flagship is the best MX device till date. So, we can expect pretty top-notch specs and a solid design on the upcoming handset. From the information leaked earlier, we know that the phone should come with the Helio X20, 4GB RAM, 12MP rear camera, 5MP front shooter and 3000mAh+ battery.

Meizu is all set to announce the Meizu MX6 flagship on July 19. While the phone has been in the news for a number of reasons previously, we now know the specs of the device thanks to its AnTuTu listing. The benchmarking app reveals most of the features of the device, so we know what to expect when we meet the handset after a few days.

Like expected, the Meizu MX6 will come with the Helio X20 deca-core chipset and Mali-T880 under the hood with 4GB RAM and 32GB of internal storage. While the display size is unknown (should be 5.5-inches), it will feature FHD 1080p resolution.  At the back, the phone will come with a 12MP camera sensor while up front, you get a 5MP shooter. As for software, the Meizu MX6 will come with Flyme 5.2.2 with Android 6.0 Marshmallow on top.

Usually, AnTuTu also reveals the score of the handset that hits the app, but this time, we don’t have that information. However, considering Helio X20 is powering the device, the AnTuTu score of the MX6 should easily be above 90k points.

Meizu teased the MX6 today, confirming the July 19 release date of the flagship. It looks like the company plans to release a number of accessories as well, alongside the device at the event. Read more details from our previous article here.

UPDATE:

After a few months of silence, Meizu’s CEO Huang Zhang made a microblogging post on Weibo today “If not for using Pro 6’s appearance, I think MX6 would be the best MX series smartphone” (translated).

So looks like the leaked internal mail was true! The CEO doesn’t seem to be happy that MX6 is using a similar design as the Pro 6. However, specs wise, the phone should have capable hardware inside to take on other mid-range flagships. 

Meizu’s smartphone business is bigger than ever before. Thanks to the healthy competition between Meizu and Xiaomi, the former smartphone company has managed to post very impressive growth in the past few quarters. The company has even introduced new smartphone lineup aimed at the young generation in the past couple of years, such as the Blue Charm M series. But it looks like, the company’s popular flagship MX series could be in trouble this year.

In an alleged leak of Meizu’s internal emails, Meizu’s CEO Huang Zhang seems to be unhappy with the design of the upcoming Meizu Pro 6 smartphone. He said that if the next generation version of the Meizu MX6 and Pro 6 are going to be this similar, then  he may consider scrapping the lineup!

Well, this sounds like an exaggerated statement, but to his credit, Meizu has killed off a few smartphones in the past. For example, remember the Pro 5 Mini phone which was supposed to meet us sometime in the first half of 2016? Well, due to some supply problems faced by the company, Meizu scrapped the device. And then there’s the MX Pro lineup which the company killed last year, favoring the new Meizu Pro series.

Given that Meizu’s MX series is hardly in the limelight due to the numerous other powerful mid-rangers in the market, could the company consider killing the MX series for a new mid-range lineup? Well, we can’t be sure, because the leaked image of the internal mail cannot be verified at the moment.

But what we do know is that the upcoming Meizu MX6 looks a lot like the Pro 6! We have seen a couple of leaks of this upcoming device in the past week, which reminded us of the Pro 6. The MX6 is expected to be released on July 19, so let’s wait for more details.

Meizu is said to unveil the Meizu MX6 flagship smartphone on July 19. While we are waiting for a confirmation from the company, a new leaked image reveals the back cover of the MX6. While the image claims to be of the upcoming Meizu smartphone, the design looks very much like the Pro 6 flagship that was announced back in April 2016. However, the major difference in the body should be the size of the screen on board, with the MX6 expected to come with a 5.5-inch 1080p display. Also, it is said that the treatment process of the body of the MX6 should be a bit lower than that of the Pro 6.

Along with this image, the retail box of the phone was also leaked. It comes in all white with the Meizu logo right on top and the model name, MX6 on the side. Unfortunately, we didn’t find any specs listed on the box. But previous rumors have given us a good idea as to what to expect from the new flagship.

The Meizu MX6 was previously rumored to feature pressure sensitive display, however, new information states that the phone might not have this feature. As for the other specs, the phone is said to come with the Helio X20 deca-core chip with 3GB RAM and 32GB of storage. There should be a 3050mAh+ battery inside a 7.55mm thin body. Pricing is rumored to be around 1799 Yuan ($271).

This is all information we have of the Meizu MX6 flagship today. But hopefully, we can get some more details and pictures of the device before launch.

Usually, MX series smartphones are released around June-July period. It looks like the company is going to continue the tradition this year as well, as the release is expected to be on June 20. If true, this would make nearly four smartphone launches, all in different lineups in a matter of 3 months. That’s pretty aggressive even for a Chinese smartphone maker.

As for the specs, earlier leaks have said that the phone will feature 3GB RAM and 4GB RAM variants. The former could start at $275 and the latter at around $305, which would put it in competition with the Xiaomi Mi 5. But inside, this device is said to feature Mediatek’s Helio X20 instead of X25 chip that powers the Pro 6 flagship.

Considering the rumored specs and pricing, the Meizu MX6 should comfortably sit between the top-end Pro 6 and the mid-range Meizu M3 Note. Further, it is said that apart from the MX6, there is at least one more device from Meizu in the works — a dual curved edged smartphone with Exynos 8890. That is sure one flagship that we would want to see, but expect a launch only by the end of the year.
