One of the terminals that is close to being a reality in a short time is the Meizu MX5, a device from which great things are expected. The fact is that some results obtained in a few test of performance where one of these Android terminals has been used, they have revealed several of the features it will have.
Waiting for the 30 June which will be the date on which the Meizu MX5 will be presented, a model of which some details have already been known including images that show how your design will be, now what has been known are the results obtained in synthetic performance tests, such as GFXBench, where some of the expected characteristics are listed.
For example, and as you can see in the image that we leave behind this paragraph, it seems very clear that the Meizu MX5 screen will be 5,5 inches with a Full HD resolution (1080p). So there are no big surprises in this section. The processor, meanwhile, is a MediaTek MT6795T (Helio X10) eight-core with Cortex-A53 architecture, operating at a frequency of 2,1 GHz and inside it has a PowerVR Roge G6200 GPU.
With regard to RAM, this is in the 3 GB, so we would have to discard the four that had been indicated at some point that it could integrate. In addition, the storage will be 16 GB, with twelve free for the user and no microSD slot (the MX5 is offered in versions of 16 / 32 / 64 GB).
Other little details
Well, an example of these is that the main camera of the Meizu MX5 would be 20,7 megapixels, capable of recording at 2160p, no less. The front camera remains at 5 Mpx, with the option to reach 1080p. Below we show the results obtained by this model in the experiment Geekbench, where it would have obtained a score of 5.352 points and, therefore, it is placed just behind the Samsung Galaxy S6.
We will see if the 30 June Everything that we have indicated is confirmed but, for the moment, this Meizu MX5 does not point badly, a model that will be part of the high end a product in its own right, don't you think?
Design, screen and fingerprint reader
The MX5 bets on a metallic unibody body with soft edges and elliptical front button that integrates a fingerprint reader high precision (model FPC1155). Its dimensions are 149,9 x 74,7 x 7,6 mm and the weight is 149 gr, achieving a screen/front ratio close to 75 %. The screen is 5,5-inch AMOLED with resolution 1920 x 1080 and density of 401 dpi, protected by Gorilla Glass 3 and with color temperature adjustment.
Hardware, battery and connectivity
Its platform is the Helio X10 (MT6795T) with 8 Cortex‑A53 up to 2,2 GHz and GPU PowerVR G6200 at 700 MHz, supported by 3 GB LPDDR3 in double channel. It is marketed in 16 / 32 / 64 GB internal storage and, as we have indicated, does not support microSD.
Battery 3150 mAh has mCharge, capable of reaching around 25% in 10 minutes and around the 60% in 40 minutes. In connectivity, it includes dual SIM (2x nano-SIM, standby mode), LTE Cat 4 (with FDD and TDD bands depending on the variant), Wi‑Fi a/b/g/n/ac dual band, Bluetooth 4.1 with A2DP and LE, GPS with A‑GPS, GLONASS y Beidou, infrared, Micro‑USB 2.0 and connector jack 3,5 mmAmong the most notable absences are NFC y FM radio.
Cameras and video
Software and experience
The MX5 arrives with Flyme OS based on Android, an interface agile and customizable with theme center, gestures on screen and saving mode which takes advantage of the efficiency of the AMOLED panel. While it's not pure Android, it offers a fluid experience and fine-tuning options for the user looking for control.
Diagnosis and common problems
With intensive use, typical incidents may occur: screen with spots or areas without response, battery which discharge fast or charge erratic, fingerprint reader with irregular recognition, overheating in demanding games, and crashes audio or connectivity (Unstable Wi-Fi/Bluetooth/Mobile Network). To detect these problems, a thorough diagnosis is recommended:
- Physical inspection screen, chassis, buttons and ports.
- Tactile/visual tests of the AMOLED panel to validate response and brightness.
- Battery and charging evaluation (Micro‑USB port capacity and status).
- Fingerprint reader check and recalibration if necessary.
- Thermal and performance testing to rule out throttling or hardware failures.
- Audio and connectivity: speaker, microphone, Wi‑Fi, Bluetooth and mobile networks.
With this set of balanced hardware, a screen Sharp AMOLED and a competent rear camera with 4K recording, the Meizu MX5 is positioned as a solid option for those looking for performance, good autonomy with fast charge and a careful metallic design; its shortcomings in NFC, radio and the absence of microSD These are the points to be assessed according to needs.
