Meizu Officially Announces the Pro 6 Plus and M3X running on Flyme 6

Chinese Android smartphone manufacturer Meizu has had a rather busy week, to say the least.

The company just announced two new smartphones, a big update to their OEM skin, and their plans for which devices will be getting the Flyme 6 update. We've heard whispers about the existence of the following two smartphones for quite some time, but Meizu has finally made it official. The Meizu Pro 6 Plus and the Meizu M3X will be joining the Meizu line-up as the first two devices running on Flyme OS version 6.

The Meizu Pro 6 Plus has a metal unibody build with the Samsung Exynos 8890 SoC. For reference, this is the same chip found in the Exynos variant of the Samsung Galaxy S7 and Galaxy S7 Edge. The Pro 6 Plus will ship in two variants – a 64GB storage model with an underclocked CPU and a 128GB storage model clocked a little higher. Both variants will sport 4GBs of RAM, a 5.7″ Super AMOLED 1440p display, a 5MP, f/2.0 front camera, a 12MP 1/2.9" Sony IMX386 Exmor RS sensor with 1.25µm f/2.0 rear camera, and a 3,400mAh capacity battery.

The Meizu M3X is a mid-range device with its MediaTek Helio P20 SoC, a 5.5″ 1080p Sharp TDDI LCD display with "2.5D" curved glass, a 5MP front-facing camera, a 12MP 1.25 μm f/2.0 Sony camera on the rear, 3GBs of RAM, 32GBs of internal storage, and a 3,200mAh capacity battery.

Both the Pro 6 Plus and the M3X will feature the company's updated mTouch 2.1 fingerprint scanner along with their mCharge fast charging technology that promises to charge 40% in 30 minutes thanks to its 18W charger. In addition, both of these new smartphones will be running on Meizu's latest Flyme OS version 6 OEM skin that is built on top of Android 6.0 Marshmallow. Meizu has also announced their plans for which devices will receive the Flyme 6 update. So if you have any of the following, you should look forward to an OTA update over the coming months
