Meizu to officially open its physical stores in the Philippines by December, devices to debut gets priced.

Meizu, one of the first smartphone manufacturer in China will soon open their first physical stores in the Philippines along with official warranty support for devices officially announced in the country. For years since the company started producing phones and building their brand name, Filipinos are enticed with their offering as commonly as an alternative to what was then more popular the Apple iPhone. Over the years, other smartphone manufacturers have raised to fame and have already made their mark in the country but for Meizu, Novo7tech was then bridging the gap between Filipino customers and Meizu’s offering.

And that’ll soon change as it will open its doors for the Philippine smartphone market. So tostart off with,Meizu will introduce its latest devices that are still and somewhat overpriced and even scarce in the black market. Unlike the top dogs, Meizu’s devices are often affordable even with their flagship devices that cost just right for regular customers to land their hands. Filipino’s could expect a fairly priced handsets with top of the line specs and just as durable as other high-end devices from other manufacturers.

After their initial announcements of devices in which it includes the Meizu Pro 6, MX6, M3E, M3 Note and the M3S that are all coming officially in the Philippines, Meizu Philippines now announced their official price tags in their official Facebook page.

For an overview here are the first six Meizu devices that will make their official debut as the company now officially enters our already saturated mobile market:

Meizu Pro 6

Starting off with high performing device, Meizu introduces the new Meizu Pro 6 and it’s their current top of the line premium handset. It comes with a rather small yet standard display at 5.2 inch diagonally of AMOLED screen and features full HD resolutions and 3D Press or force touch.

With premium quality build, the new Pro 6 equally provides enough powerhouse beneath its skin. The handset is powered by MediaTek’s latest Helio X25 with Deca-core processors, it then pairs with a Mali-T880 GPU and 4GB of RAM. The handset will ship with either 32GB or 64GB of built-in storage but unfortunately if you are looking for a way to expand what’s already there to store your stuff then you’re out of luck as Meizu don’t allow you to do that here.

Imaging also gets improved with the latest Pro 6 with its 21 Megapixel Sony IMX230 imaging sensor that is coupled to a 10-ring LED flash for optimum brightness. Upfront is a standard 5 Megapixel camera with built-in beautification and filters for that epic selfie of yours.

As for the rest of the specs, the Meizu Pro 6 comes with Dual-SIM slots capable of 4G/LTE and a collection of standard connectivity features including Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, GPS and the latest USB-C port for fast data transfer. With its size, Meizu thinks a 2560 mAh embedded battery will make the day for the Pro 6 and it also supports quick charging through its USB-C interface. And lastly, the handset will run Android 6.0 Marshmallow out of the box with Flyme OS 5.5 on top.

The Meizu Pro 6 comes with a standard retail price of 15.990 Php and will be available for purchase locally by December.

Meizu MX6

Meizu’s official launch in the Philippines will also bring the long-running series of devices that’s been the hallmark of Meizu when the company started a few years back. The MX6 is the company’s 6th generation of the MX line and like the Pro 6, it is also Meizu flagship bearer. As you can see from their outlook, both the MX6 and the Pro 6 almost look identical if not for their LED flash.

The MX6 is powered by a MediaTek Helio X20 SoC, still a deca-core processor equipped chipset but it’s a least beefed up version of the latest Helio X25, though the latter looks good on paper but in a real world scenario they perform almost exactly the same. It also include a Mali-T880 MP4 GPU paired to either 3GB/4GB of RAM and the storage pegs at 32GB and is non-expandable as well.The handset comes with a larger 5.5-inch screen with full-HD resolution and feature In-Cell display.

For photography, the MX6 includes a 12-Megapixel Sony IMX386 sensor and features an f/2.0 Aperture, PDAF and is supported by a standard dual-tone LED flash. While the front facing camera comes fairly at 5 Megapixel that also features an f/2.0 Aperture.

All other important modern smartphone features are intact with connectivity handled primarily by a dual-SIM slots capable of both 3G and 4G/LTE connection. Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, GPS and USB-C all comes as standard as well for fast data transfer rate and quick charging of the MX6 embedded 3060 mAh battery. The MX6 runs of Flyme OS 5.5 on Android 6.0 Marshmallow.

Price for the Meizu MX6 is at 14,990 Php and will also be available this December.

Meizu M3’s

Before we talk further, it’s worth noting that though Meizu already provides an affordable devices even its top-end flagships, the company is even more committed to provide an even more affordable handsets with up par hardware specs and even borrow the look and feel.Coming with a range of entry-level and mid-range devices, Meizu’s M series is now in its 3rd generation with variants that each specifically serves different user segments

Meizu M3S

The Meizu M3S is the company’s entry-level offering for the Philippine market with its 5-inch 720p HD display. Under the skin is a MediaTek MT6750 SoC with 8-core processors running at 1.3 GHz supported by two different configurations. One includes a 2GB/16GB RAM/Storage combos while the other one has 3GB of RAM and 32GB of storage. What’s present with the M3’s is the included microSD card slot which enables users to expand the handset’s storage space.

There’s a 13 Megapixel main camera with dual-tone LED flash and a standard 5 Megapixel shooter on the front. It comes with a dual-SIM slots with LTE connectivity support. The handset on 3020 mAh embedded battery and is operated by Flyme OS based on an aging Android 5.1 Lollipop.

Together with the high-end models, the M3S will also officially available for purchase starting next month with prices that starts at 6,490 Php for the 2GB/16GB variant and 7,490 Php for the 3GB/32GB version.

Meizu M3 Note

If flagships has MX6, the M3’s has its own M3 Note and by the name itself, the new M3 Note comes with a large 5.5-inch phablet display and features a full HD 1080p resolutions. Under the hood is MediaTek’s Helio P10 and comes with either 2GB or 3GB of RAM and 16GB or a 32GB storage respectively. It also sport a 13 Megapixel main camera with PDAF and a dual-tone LED flash.

The handset’s price starts at 7,990 Php for the 2GB/16GB variant and 8,990 Php for the high-spec’d version of the handset.

Meizu M3E

Among the three M3 variants, we could say that this M3E is the most premium among them. Premium in a sense that its build with elegant design and the choice of color combination seems to suggests more executive and premium that others in its class. It comes with the same 5.5-inch display found on the M3 Note. It’s powered the a MediaTek Helio P10 chipset with 3GB of RAM and 32 GB of storage space. Unlike the first three we’ve mentioned, both of them came with two flavors, but on the M3E, Meizu opted to stick only with 3GB of RAM.

It has the same 13 Megapixel camera on the back with PDAF and dual-tone LED flash. On the front there’s also a standard 5 Megapixel camera which handles your Selfies and take video calls. It supports 4G/LTE on dual-SIM slots and a range of standard connectivity features.

The Meizu M3E however has a 3100 mAh embedded battery and runs on an outdated Android 5.0 Lollipop but that doesn’t mean it’s a bad thing but if you’re coming from or have used other devices that runs on Marshmallow, the Flyme OS equipped Android 5.1 OS still plays pretty well.

The handset is expected in the Philippines by December for 9,490 Php.
