Meizu MX5 is the latest flagship smartphone from Meizu, which has been announced today at Meizu's event in China. The successor to the MX4 brings various improvements, but the biggest change is in display technology, where it uses Samsung's AMOLED screen instead of LCD.

The MX5 now features a 5.5-inch display with 1080p resolution, 16:9 aspect ratio and Gorilla Glass 3 protection. The display is also supposed to use up to 40% less power and if we combine that with a 3,150 mAh battery and the rest of the innards, we should see quite good battery life.

The heart of the phone is Mediatek's MT6795T SoC, also known as Helio X10, which uses an octa-core processor clocked at 2.2 GHz, a PowerVR G6200 GPU paired with 3 GB of LPDDR3 RAM. It uses eMMC 5.0 chips for storage that is available up to 64 GB.

A 20.7-megapixel rear camera has an aperture of f/2.2, dual-color LED flash and laser-aided focus, capable of 4K video recording and 100-fps slow-motion videos at 720p. The front-facing camera has a 5-megapixel sensor a brighter f/2.0 aperture.

The rest of the specs include a fingerprint scanner also known as mTouch, a dual-SIM support with LTE connectivity on both slots, dual-band 802.11 ac/b/g/n Wi-Fi and Bluetooth 4.1. It runs the company's new Flyme OS 4.5.

There are a total of three models. The 16 GB costs CNY 1,800 ($290), the 32 GB is CNY 1,999 ($320) and the top model with 64 GB costs CNY2,399 ($390). All three models come in grey, silver, and champagne gold colors.
