Meizu MX4 Beast – All Specs and Facts

Today the MX4 Smartphone launched. And what a beautiful beast the Meizu MX4 is. We will provide you all Meizu MX4 Specs and Facts directly from the Launch Even in Bejing.

The biggst surprise is, that the MEIZU MX is the first smartphone to run the newest Mediatek MT6595 CPU.There were a lot of rumors before that Meizu would utilize a Mediatek chip in one of their new smartphones, but we were surprised to find its their newest Meizu MX4. The use of the Mediatek Processor is quite interesting, since Meizu will launch up to 4 more smartphones this year.

Back to todays Meizu MX4 launch event. Highlights of the new Meizu phone are for sure the 20.7 MP Sony Camera and Aircraft Grade aluminium design. Meizu used alloy for the material, to allow more colors and even slimmer and lighter design. Meizu claims to have the slimmest smartphone frames worlwide at MX4’s dimensions of 75.2 x 144 x 7.9mm. For sure the MX4 is slightly slimmer then the MX3 and has a bigger 3100mAH battery.

Meizu MX 4 Screen

The MX4 will sport an beautiful 5.4 inch screen with a Full HD resolution of 1920X 1152p. The display will have a pixel density of 418ppi. Meizu uses their Nega liquid crystal technology and a LED backlight module on the display. According to Meizu this will produce an 85% increase in NTSC color gamut and brightness up to 600 nit. Up to now we can say the Meizu MX4 display looks for sure gorgeous.

The 5.4 FHD display is bonded directly to the frame of the MX4 and Meizu is in process of patenting this process. This process of bonding the screen to the frame, adds an additional 0.3mm layer between the Gorilla Glass 3 and the frame. This acts like a buffer that can absorb shocks from the display and provides additional security for your Meizu MX4 display in case of drops – Smart!

Up to now we can say the Meizu MX4 display looks for sure gorgeous.

Meizu MX4 Peformance

The Meizu MX4 runs on the Octa Core Mediateks MT6595 processor at 2.2Ghz. The MT6595 uses a big.LITTLE architecure with four A7 and four A17 cores. Meizu utilizes Core Pilot Technology for these 8 cores. The Core Pilot Technology lets the Soc easily switch between the little and big cores to increase performance and provides better power management.

With OctaCore A17 and A7 Cores the MX4 will provide very good performance. After all we already saw these Antutu leaks of over 50000 points on the MX4.

The MX4 also sports an Meizu 3100 mAh Battery products by Sony or Samsung. Meizu promises an increase in battery life of over 30% compared to their previus MX3 phone.

Meizu MX4 Camera

As we heard in rumors before the Meizu MX4 will sport an Sony IMX 220 Exmor RS 20.7 mega-pixel sensor, which is quite impressing. This will give the MX4 advanced DSLR features with a focus speed of only 0.3 seconds, 4K video recording and 720p slow motion. The Sony 20.7 MP sensor also provides 25 shots per second mode, dual tone LED flash and better night shot performance.

A 20.7 Megapixel Sony Sensor on this smartphone is definitely impressive!

Flyme OS 4.0 and LTE

Meizu also announced their newest version Flyme 4.0 with a cleaner look and additional features. Flyme 4.0 will launch on all Meizu Phones, the MX4, MX3 and MX2. We will definitely soon post pictures of the new Meizu UI Flyme 4.0 very soon.

The Meizu MX4 comes with LTE, WCDMA, GSM, TD-SCDMA covering over 13 different frequencies( although we are not sure yet which exact frequencies are covered). Meizu definitely promises the mx4 will work with European carriers so there is a good chance it will work with more international Carriers as well !
