When cheap prices and iPhone-esque designs enter the conversation, smartphones by Meizu often come to mind. The newly launched Meizu MX5 continues the trend with its Helio X10 octa-core processor, PowerVR G6200 graphics and 3GB of RAM.
Couple those innards with a 5.5-inch AMOLED Full HD display, 3150mAh battery and a 20.7-megapixel Sony IMX220 main camera. And with an Android 5-based Flyme 4.5 OS, the Meizu MX5 is definitely an eye-catcher.
In terms of outward design, the Meizu MX5 doesn’t look drastically different from its predecessor MX4. It does, however, feature a better build by donning a full metal body.
