Last updated: November 30th, 2016 at 11:14 UTC+02:00

Meizu and Samsung have quite a history together. The former’s high-end smartphones have been using Samsung’s Exynos processors for quite some time. Now, the Chinese smartphone brand has unveiled its latest flagship smartphone, the Pro 6 Plus, and it uses Samsung’s latest Exynos 8890 chipset.

The Meizu Pro 6 Plus features a 5.7-inch QHD AMOLED display, an Exynos 8890 processor, 4GB RAM, 64/128GB of internal storage, a 12-megapixel primary camera with OIS and 4K video recording, a 5-megapixel secondary camera, a fingerprint sensor, LTE, USB Type-C, and a 3,400 mAh battery. It runs Meizu’s Flyme 6 UI with “AI Engine” called One Mind and 400 new features on top of Android Marshmallow.

The specifications of the Pro 6 Plus are quite similar to that of the Galaxy S7 edge, but its AMOLED display isn’t curved on its sides, and there’s no dual-pixel phase-detection autofocus tech in its rear-facing camera. Its 7.3mm thin metal body looks gorgeous, though. What do you think about the Meizu Pro 6 Plus?
