Meizu E Series Renders – curved display, dual camera and Exynos!


meizu e series

If you were one of the Meizu fans left reeling after last weeks news that the Pro 7 won’t have a Exynos chips then you are going to find these Meizu E Series renders very exciting.

It looks like Meizu have made a full move over to Mediatek for their MX and Pro range of phones, at least this is what it sounds like after news the Pro 7 would likely feature a Helio X30 was leaked last week, but this isn’t to say Samsung chips will never show up in a Meizu again.

No, in fact the next Samsung powered Meizu might be closer to reality than you expect and could also introduce the smartphone industry to a new range of Meizu flagship.

We woke this morning to see renders of a new E Series phone from Meizu with distinctly flagship properties; dual cameras? Check, curved display? Check, Powerful Samsung Exynos chipset? Check!

Gizchina News of the week


Apparently the first of the Meizu E phones will use a Samsung Exynot 8890 chipset to run all those goodies, and it seems highly likely the phone will run a serious amount of RAM and internal storage. Details of phones build materials haven’t been released yet, but expect a similar all metal construction to current Meizu phones, with space for a physical home button/fingerprint scanner and decent size battery.

The Meizu E could be the most exciting Meizu for sometime and what’s more we might only have to wait until the 10th August for the launch of the handset!

What do you think of this latest Meizu phone? Could the rumours and renders really be true?

    Clearly not professional renders so likely more fakes.

      Yep, but in the recent past we’ve seen better, and this rumor keeps spreading every week so, in the end, I guess there’s going to be a meizu edge eventually

      • realjjj
        August 1, 2016

        There are more credible rumors that this E is P10 based.

        Curved should come but i don’t believe it’s now for Meizu. Sadly phone makers will likely use it to reach higher prices and it won’t be fun.We won’t see a curved Xiaomi at 1999CNY.

          Now that I think about, yesterday I’ve seen a leak picture of a so-called meizu M1E, but there was only the back… Maybe things are linked

          • realjjj

            Likely but nothing is certain yet.
            I’m more curious if they launch a watch, just to see what OS they use.

            • MattD
              August 1, 2016

              That’s a thing: they have so much os to choose from! If it’s ready, I’d bet 1$ (not more, not less) on the yun os

            • realjjj
              August 1, 2016

              Not sure if YunOS supports real watches yet.TencentOS has some wins but doesn’t seem likely and Android Wear in China is complicated as it’s not open source yet., Maybe it’s Android with their own skin but they would have no apps -not that apps are that important in watches.

              August 1, 2016

              Without a home button it’s just another phone. The home button makes Meizu unique, plus its functionality is built into Flyme.

            • Muhammad Yasir
              August 1, 2016

              now… i mean overall phone spec.

              maybe something people will react rather positively to…

            • realjjj
              August 1, 2016

              That’s their biggest problem as it makes them boring, their devices worse ( ergonomics, looks and originality) and limits their design options.
              If you put a big fat turd in the middle of a plate, nobody will notice the food around it. Except the people that like to eat big fat ….. and there are some of those too.

              yuck !

              but fair enough .. maybe if meizu thought this way , they could easily turn their fortunes around. oh well , its the great thinkers on whom the world has advanced…

      Considering the price of the Pro 6 there no chances to see this one priced low

      • balcobomber25
        August 1, 2016

        I am not even sure where this E series fits in their current lineup.

        Most leaks I have seen suggest it is a P10 and not a Exnyos. If it does have the Exnyos it suddenly makes the MX6/Pro 6 obsolete. If it has the P10 that competes with the M series.

        • MaxPower
          August 1, 2016

          I was referring to the Exynos model with a curved display (if it’s true).
          I don’t think they would price it for less than $500

          • balcobomber25
            August 1, 2016

            I know what you are referring to but the leaks are very shaky on whether there even is a Exnyos model. One of the other sites has a picture of two screen shots, one showing the Exnyos information and the other showing Flyme.

            The picture showing the Exnyos information is cut off so you can’t see the entire phone, the picture showing Flyme shows MOLY for the baseband, which is Mediatek.

            People are jumping to the conclusion it is Exnyos based on that vague screen shot and the fact that it’s called M1 E. Exnyos 8890 uses an M1 core. But let’s not forget the Meizu Metal was also called the M1. Which is why I expect this phone to be an M1 Edge with a Helio P10 or P20.

              Chances are it could be cheap like Yasir wants it to be 🙂

    I’ll believe it when I see it. Meizu has steadfastly denied they will use a Exnyos because it doesn’t have full network support. There’s a “leaked” screenshot of this phone that looks fake because it mentions Exnyos but has the codes of Mediatek.

    Take this with a grain of salt until it’s actually announced by Meizu.

      Or maybe it’s again just one made by inWatch and likely running TencentOS.
