El Meizu PRO 6s It has now been officially unveiled after a series of rumors suggesting it would be better than it ultimately turned out to be. It's not the top-of-the-line smartphone the initial reports promised, but it is a pretty interesting phone. Opt for powerful and balanced hardwareIt improves on key aspects compared to the PRO 6 and maintains the brand's premium focus. These are all the features of the Chinese company's new flagship phone.
Meizu PRO 6s, a balanced high-end
El Meizu PRO 6s It's still in the high-end range, yes, but it's much more balanced than the initial reports suggested. Specifically, they mentioned an Exynos 8890 processor like the one in the Samsung Galaxy S7, and also a curved screen. Well, neither one nor the otherAlthough both have good features. Its processor is ultimately the Ten-core MediaTek Helio X25 (2x Cortex-A72 up to 2,5 GHz + 4x Cortex-A53 at 2,0 GHz + 4x Cortex-A53 at 1,55 GHz) with GPU Mali-T880 MP4A reliable combination for heavy use and gaming. 4 GB of RAM they assure us a very fluid operation even when executing several applications simultaneously. its internal storage is 64GB in its main configuration.
As far as the screen is concerned, finally a 5,2-inch display with a Full HD resolution of 1.920 x 1.080 pixels. It is not Quad HD. It is not curved. But if it is Super AMOLED, which is not bad for the smartphone, because it offers us a feature that differentiates it from other smartphones. What's more, it is also pressure sensitive, in the style of the 3D Touch of the iPhone 6s and later, another differentiating feature. A +1 for the Meizu PRO 6s.
Super AMOLED display and 3D Press in detail
The 5,2-inch panel offers 424 dpi and is protected with Gorilla Glass 3 2.5D edge. Meizu declares a contrast 10.000: 1color coverage 94% NTSC and a typical shine of 350 nits. The technology 3D Press (compatible with Synaptics ClearForce) recognizes different pressure levels to display previews and shortcuts, streamlining frequent actions without cluttering the interface.
Meizu design
As far as the smartphone's design is concerned, we can't say we see many new features compared to the company's previous phones, which isn't particularly bad if you liked the look of earlier Meizu models, as is my case. We find ourselves with a metallic smartphone, available in four colors: black, gold, pink and silver. In addition, the front aspect features the classic home button which also acts as a back button and a multitasking button, as well as fingerprint reader.
Beyond the finish, it's a body anodized aluminum unibody with dimensions of 147,7 x 70,8 x 7,3 mm y 163 grThe reader mTouch (Goodix) integrates biometric unlocking and payments, and its front-facing location facilitates navigation gestures that replace on-screen buttons for a cleaner experience.
The rear section is also very similar to that of the Meizu PRO 6, with that circular flash of 10 LEDs which surrounds the laser focusing sensor. This last feature is ideal for complementing the main camera with 12 megapixel Sony sensor which will offer us some pretty good photographs. With this camera, and the manual settings that the Meizu include, we can probably take very good photos if we have some knowledge of photography. its front camera is 5 megapixel.
Cameras and video: IMX386 with OIS, laser and PDAF
The leap in quality comes with the Sony IMX386 12 MP and opening f / 2.0, supported by optical stabilization (OIS), phase detection autofocus (PDAF) y laser to improve focusing speed (up to 0,07 s). The 10-LED Dual Tone Ring Flash It distributes light better indoors. It records 4K video at 30 fps It features HDR, burst mode, ISO control, and exposure compensation. On the front, there's a sensor... 5 MP f / 2.0 It offers decent selfies and video. 1080p.
Autonomy and fast charging mCharge 3.0
Finally, some additional details should be highlighted, such as 3.060 mAh batterywhich boasts a significant improvement in capacity compared to the previous Meizu PRO 6, thus offering us a significantly better autonomyAll of this, with a system of fast charge using the port USB Type-C 3.1 with an adapter that reaches a power up to 24 W (5V/3A, 8V/3A, and 12V/2A profiles), so the charging speed will be extremely high. The thermal management of the Helio X25 It has been optimized to reduce temperature spikes and maintain performance.
Connectivity, networks and sensors

Embed NFC for payments and quick pairing, plus a full suite of sensors: accelerometer, gyroscope, compass, light sensor, proximity sensor, barometer and the aforementioned fingerprint readerIn audio, Meizu shines again: it integrates Cirrus Logic CS43L36 chip with Smart PA amplifier for a sound HiFi cleaner and more powerful, while maintaining the connector 3,5mm mini jack.
Software and user experience
