Meet Meizu’s latest flagship!
Meizu, a Chinese smartphone maker has just announced their newest flagship – the MX4. The MX4 is unique in that it’s the first device to use MediaTek’s newest SoC, the MT6592, that boasts LTE as well as ARM’s big.LITTLE architecture, utilizing 4 x A7 and 4 x A17 cores. The body of the MX4 is quite premium as it utilizes 6061 T6 aircraft grade aluminum frame, dominated by a large 5.36-inch full HD IPS display.

If you don’t remember, MediaTek’s MT6595 processor is the same one that managed to score insanely high on AnTuTu a few months back. The SoC’s big.LITTLE architecture means that the slower, more power efficient 1.7GHz quad-core Cortex A7 processor will the the one that power the phone through menial tasks, while the faster, more powerful 2.2GHz quad-core Cortex-A17 processor will take over once raw power is needed. Meizu is promising a performance gain of 75% over their previous flagship, while achieving 30% more battery life.
Prices are as follows: 1799 RMB for the 16GB version (Php 12765), 1999 RMB for 32GB (Php 14185), 2399 RMB 64GB (Php 17023). It’s important to note that these prices are subject to change, especially since no customs tax has been factored in them. It’s likely that Novo7 Tech will be the one to import these products in the PH, so you’ll want to check their Facebook page regularly to see if they will stock it.
