While we still have no official information on the Pro 6’s price, Meizu’s VP, Li Nan, like always, have given us a clue, at least that’s what we think.

This afternoon, Li Nan posted something on his official Weibo page. Nothing unusual about the post, except that it was sent using the Galaxy S7 Edge. To those unfamiliar with Weibo, you can see the device that was used to post the message on his/ her account, which is what some sharp fans managed to point out.

When asked, why use Samsung instead of Meizu, Li Nan replied by saying that he naturally couldn’t hang out with the Pro 6 in hand. So, he decided to take a similarly priced product, namely the Galaxy S7 Edge.

Now, is Li Nan hinting that the Pro 6 is priced close to S7 Edge? If that’s the case, then expect the Meizu Pro 6 to retail at 5000 Yuan ($773). Well, that would be just too high. Even HTC was smart enough to price its new HTC 10 at $700 which less than what we initially expected.

To be honest, $773 for Meizu Pro 6 is just too far-fetched. So, we better wait for the official Pro 6 price tag revealed by the company tomorrow. If earlier rumors are to be believed, it should be anywhere around $460.

After a few months of silence, Meizu suddenly came into the spotlight, thanks to its Meizu Pro 6 flagship smartphone. We have seen the device in a couple of benchmark apps like AnTuTu and the performance of the phone has been quite impressive. Now, a screenshot of an internal mail sent by Meizu’s VP Li Nan reveals the pricing for the phone.

According to the leaked mail, the Meizu Pro 6 flagship could be priced at 2999 Yuan which comes to around $462. When compared to rivals such as the Xiaomi Mi 5 Pro, this is much more costlier. The Pro variant of the Mi 5 retails for an official price tag of 2699 Yuan ($415), which is a good $45 less than this figure.

Thanks to the recent AnTuTu listing of the Meizu Pro 6 smartphone, we know the specs of the device. The phone is confirmed to feature the Helio X25 deca-core processor (upgraded variant of the Helio X20) and this chip will be exclusive to the device for a few months.

Apart from the powerful specs, the Meizu Pro 6 smartphone will come with 3GB of RAM and 32GB of internal storage. There will be a 21MP rear camera sensor and a 5MP front facing shooter. The screen size is unknown at the moment, but the resolution will be 1080 FHD. Finally, the phone will be running on the Android 6.0 Marshmallow OS out of the box.

Do you think these specs are comparable to Xiaomi Mi 5 which is way cheaper? I mean, the Mi 5 standard version managed to score about 106K on AnTuTu during our review. On the other hand, today’s AnTuTu listing showed that the Meizu Pro 6 scored nearly 100K. And this particular model featuring 3GB of RAM costs almost $150 less than the rumored price of $460 for the Pro 6.

So, do you think the 2999 Yuan ($460) price tag for the Meizu Pro 6 will be a bit too high?

Meanwhile, Meizu CEO Huang has confirmed that the affordable Meizu M3 Note will meet us soon. Read more about the device from here.

For the past few days, we have been hearing a lot about the Meizu Pro 6 smartphone, which will be the company flagship device for the year 2016. The company went ahead and confirmed that the Pro 6 will feature the newly announced Helio X25 chipset. The chip will be exclusive to the device for several months, after which probably we will see other smartphones use it.

Now, new renders of the Meizu Pro 6 handset have emerged online, and they are in line with what Meizu VP, Li Nan had revealed yesterday. The new renders show that the phone will feature a similar antenna design to the iPhone 7.

Traditionally, antenna lines are seen on the back of a smartphone which features a metallic body. However, with the Meizu Pro 6, the antenna is going to be at the bottom of the device, making it one of the first ones to use such a design. From the image, it looks like the company has continued with most of the design from last year’s Meizu Pro 5 handset.

So, the back is flawless and the front seems to come with 2.5D glass. The display seems to be nearly bezelless and we hope that the phone does not feature those ugly thick black borders on the sides of the screen. One important thing to note here is that the phone does not come with an antenna line on top. Finally, the company seems to be using a front facing fingerprint sensor embedded into the home button, much like its previous generation devices.

As for the specs, it is said that the Meizu Pro 6 will come with Helio X25 chip clocked at 2.5GHz with 4GB of RAM, 5.5-inch 1080p display, 21MP rear camera, 64GB ROM and a pressure sensitive display. However, at this moment, apart from the processor, no other specs have been confirmed.

So, what do you think about the phone’s design?

Although there’s still like six months left for the launch of the next generation Apple iPhone 7, leaks have already started to come in. The latest iPhone 7 leak shows off a unique antenna design, wherein the phone sports a metal body but there’s a single antenna line at the bottom. If you remember, usually, metal phones have dual antenna line at the back.

While Apple fans were pretty happy to see that the upcoming iPhone 7 was going to sport a slightly different look, Meizu VP Li Nan claims that the pictures which were leaked yesterday are actually of the upcoming Meizu Pro 6 flagship. Don’t trust him? Well, he has actually posted a picture of the real Meizu Pro 6 sporting this design.

He further adds that the factory staff who leaked this image most likely made a mistake. The company has been working on this design for quite some time and wanted to surprise fans at the conference.

Well, when he had said that Meizu Pro 6 was going to be an “iPhone 7 killer” we thought he was being optimistic. But after this leak, it looks like both the phones could have a very similar design.

As for the specs, Meizu has also confirmed that the Pro 6 flagship will be the first phone to feature the newly announced Helio X25 chipset. In fact, the chip will be exclusive to the phone for several months. This leak confirms a metal body on the design with unique antenna lines. Other rumored features of the phone include FHD 1080p resolution 5.5-inch display, 4GB RAM, 32GB ROM and a home button embedded fingerprint sensor.

So, in short, it looks like we are going to see two very similar looking smartphones in the coming months, one running on Android and the other on iOS. While Li Nan claims that the images are of the Pro 6, it’s possible that the iPhone 7 prototype looks very much similar to the Pro 6. If true, then Li Nan did a pretty good job of revealing Pro 6’s design quite early!
