Meizu unveils a new mid-range smartphone in the form of the M3X.
The Meizu M3X has a total screen-to-body ratio of 85% in front, not far off from Xiaomi’s 91.3% Mi Mix. It’s dominated by a 1080p 5.5-inch screen which can get as bright as 500 nits.
It’s got a powerful MediaTek Helio P20 chipset paired with either 3GB or 4GB of RAM. Storage options are 32GB and 64GB with the option to use a microSD for more expansion. Similar to other Chinese handsets, it’s using a hybrid slot which means that it’s between SIM + microSD or dual SIM.
