Leaked images of Meizu Pro 5 running stock Android


A trio of purported leaked images claim to show the upcoming Meizu Pro 5 running stock Android OS.

Part of what makes a Meizu a Meizu, is the traditional ā€˜Meizu Shapeā€™ and the use of the companiesā€™s own Flyme ROM based on Android. These leaked images show one of those ingredients, the shape is similar to the current Meizu MX5, but Flyme is doesnā€™t make an appearance.

This leaked version of the Meizu Pro 5 appears to be running a stock Android OS. Thatā€™s not to say that Meizu are planning to launch a pure Android experience on the new flagship (although it could be a nice option) and more likely we are looking at an early prototype of the phone.

Gizchina News of the week


Paying closer attention to the design of the Meizu Pro 5 we can make out a curve to the glass on the phone, proving rumours of a 2.5D glass display accuracy, and a unibody alloy shell is in play too.

A partial image of the rear of the phone could easily be from the Meizu MX5. It shows the same alloy design, large camera lens and familiar LED flash/Laser focus found on the Mediatek powered phone.

From earlier reports Meizu are expected to release the Pro 5 with a 5.7-inch 1920 x 1080 display, 4GB RAM, Samsung Exynos 7420 chipset, 5 mega-pixel front camera and 21 mega-pixel rear. We have also learned that the Meizu Pro 5 will have fast charging and could cost as much as 3000 Yuan once officially released next week.

    typos “ally” and “77420”

    I don’t understand the choice of making this Pro version that could be appealing only for SoC fanatics.
    actually i doubt that too considering that more SoCs are coming out soon.

    some people might point the price comparing to Samsung? well,the Samsung S6 edge is down to 550$ right now. I wonder who’s gonna buy this phone.

      According to previous news this phone is first of a new line by Meizu and not only a “pro” version of MX5.
      Also the 190 x 1080 display is a nice typo in the last paragraph.

      International sales are a smidgen of Meizu’s revenues and, in China, a legit (non-grey market) Galaxy S6 is closer to $700. Plenty of room in the $450-500 range. The real question is whether there’s something besides the Exynos lurking in the Pro 5 that -in real world use- distances it from the MX5 or any other Meizu device. That didn’t happen with the MX4 Pro.
