Rumors about a Meizu MX5 Pro have been officially shot down by the company’s VP, Li Nan. Instead, Meizu is working on a new handset that has been given the code-name Meizu NIUX. Yesterday, we told you plenty about the phone, including the Exynos 7420 chipset that reportedly will be driving the device. This, of course, is the SoC that you will find under the hood of such high-end models like the Samsung Galaxy S6 and Samsung Galaxy S6 edge.

Some of the specs on the Meizu NIUX have been confirmed by Meizu’s president and co-founder, Bai Yongxiang. The executive says that the NIUX will come with a 1080 x 1920 resolution screen (rumored to measure 5.5-inches) and calls a 2K resolution screen not logical for a smartphone. He also promises that the handset will be powered by the best CPU available. The device is expected to be unveiled next month.

The rest of the specs certainly makes this phone a top-shelf model. The NIUX will feature 3GB or 4GB of RAM, and a 21MP camera is expected on the back with a 5MP snapper in front. Android 5.1 will be pre-installed, with Meizu’s Flyme 5.0 UI running on top. The handset is expected to sport a metallic build.

Thanks for the tip!
