September is getting busier and busier by the post! The
iPhone 5 is rumored to
launch on September 7th, and now Meiuz
CEO Jack Wong has 'confirmed' that the
Meizu MX, the worlds first
Quad Core smartphone will
launch by the end of September!
For any of you familiar with Meizu and their dreamer of an CEO you'll be reaching for a pinch of salt after reading the MX is confirmed for September.
Meizu have a reputation for making up deadlines only to break them and
launch as much as 6 months later! The
Meizu M9 was
launched 6 months later than expected and got it's Gingerbread update 3 months later than planned!
Now
JW is claiming the new
Meizu MX will be ready for
launch by the end of September! and it will be the world first
quad-core Android smartphone!
Jack Wong must be feeling a bit of pressure now that both
Oppo and
Xiaomi have
launched very competitive
phones not to mention the looming
launch of the iPhone 5!
The
Meizu MX will be available in 2 versions accouding to
JW. A 16Gb model with a dual core
CPU and a 32Gb quad core model, both will feature
4 inch screens from Sharp and 8 mega-pixel cameras.
It has also been rumored that the MX will get a similar design to that of the current iPhone 4, we're not sure if the antennas will be external or not, but with a removable back to get at the
SD card and battery.
The SIM card will be housed in a tray at the top of the phone much like the iPhone 3GS.
It's hard to know is Wong is being sincere with his September launch date for the Meizu MX or if he is just trying his best to rouse the rumor mill.
