Meizu MX5E silently debuts in China

Daniel Morial

We are expecting a new mid-range smartphone from Meizu but before that, they silently release a tone-downed version of their flagship.

meizu-mx5e

The Meizu MX5E, which probably got its name from the iPhone SE, is a cheaper variant of the MX5 with all the cuts done to it. Two major changes are present here: a slower processor and downgraded camera. The chipset is now at 2.0GHz from 2.2GHz while the camera now has 16-megapixels rather than 20.7MP.

Meizu MX5E key specifications:
5.5-inch Full HD display, 1920 x 1080 pixels
2.0GHz MediaTek MTK6795 octa-core processor
3GB RAM
16GB internal storage
16-megapixel autofocus rear camera
5-megapixel front camera
Dual-SIM
LTE
Fingerprint scanner
3150mAh battery
Android 5.0 w/ Flyme OS 4.5

Of course, its price tag is also dragged to just 1399 Yuan or less than Php 10k. Its availability is limited to China for now, and international availability is yet unclear.

Samsung launches the Galaxy J3(6) in China which sports a rather unusual 5-inch HD AMOLED display that is usually seen in higher-end variants and not in low-mid tier models. It’s been reported that this handset is targeted to compete with the likes of Huawei, Xiaomi, and other Chinese brands offering low-cost smartphones.

Although looking metallic, the back cover is made of plastic to keep costs down. The company’s TouchWiz UI is also implemented here so Samsung fans would feel right at home with this device. It is available in black, white, and gold, and has a thickness maxing out at 7.9mm.

There are no news on its official pricing, but it would most likely be exclusive to the Chinese market.

Samsung releases rather quietly its W2016 smartphone which sports a design that took its cues from the Galaxy S6 — only in the form of a clamshell. It also comes with some beefy internals under the hood.

The Samsung W2016 still has no price that came with the announcement but was reported to be coming to China. There are no news if it will be sold elsewhere but with its unique form factor and elegant design, we could see a demand in certain markets.
