We have been hearing a lot about the Meizu Metal for the past couple of weeks. Now the company has finally made the device official and its everything we expected it to be. The phone comes in a beautiful metal body with plenty of color options to attract the young generation crowd.
Meizu Metal features a special aluminum body which is made using a number of rare elements like titanium, and cobalt to make it light weight and durable at the same time. The company is calling it the "Crystal Metal". The phone looks pretty premium and comes in a bunch of colors such as white, grey, gold, blue, pink. The body has gone through diamond cutting for the perfect finishing.
As for the specs, the Meizu Metal comes with a 5.5-inch FHD 1080p display with 2.5D glass front and maximum brightness of 450 nits. Under the hood, there's the Mediatek Helio X10 MT6795 processor with 2GB RAM and eMMC 5.0 16 GB/ 32 GB memory options. It also supports MicroSD cards upto 128GB. With these specs, the phone reportedly scores over 51,000 on AnTuTu.
As for the camera, there's a 13MP shooter at the back with PDAF focus (0.2 seconds), f/2.2 aperture and color temperature flash. Finally, the phone features the same fingerprint sensor as the MX5 MTouch 2.1 with recognition speed of just 0.48 seconds. It comes with dual card dual standby with Flyme 5.0 pre-installed.
Now coming to the best part, the Meizu Metal will start at just 1099 Yuan ($173) for the 16GB model, which is a great price for a phone with these specs. Further, the 32GB version will retail for 1299 Yuan which is around $200. Pretty aggressive pricing I would say. What do you think?
Meanwhile the phone is already up for pre-order on Giztop.
