The Meizu Pro 5 is the manufacturer’s next high-end model. Company executives including president and co-founder Bai Yongxiang, and VP Li Nan, have posted information about this phone all over their Weibo pages. We’ve seen images of the retail packaging, and today we actually have some images of a handset that is alleged to be the Pro 5. We should tread lightly and take these images with a grain of salt, especially since we don’t see any Meizu branding. While the images came from a Weibo account, apparently it is one that isn’t owned by any Meizu executive.

The Meizu Pro 5 is equipped with a 5.7-inch screen, carrying a 1080 x 1920 resolution. That works out to a pixel density of 386ppi. The Pro 5 is expected to be powered by the Exynos 7420 SoC, featuring an octa-core 2.1GHz CPU and the Mali-T760 MP8 GPU. There also have been reports about a second variant rockin’ the MediaTek MT6797 chipset and its deca-core CPU. 4GB of RAM is inside, along with 64GB of internal storage. A 21MP camera is on back, with a selfie snapping 5MP camera in front. Android 5.1.1 is pre-installed, with Flyme 4.5 running on top.

Meizu apparently knows how to ring all the bells when it comes to benchmark tests. For 2014, the Meizu MX4 was the top scoring handset on AnTuTu, and the Pro 5 has rung up some tasty tallies on GeekBench. Running the latter test, the Pro 5 achieved a single-core score of 1550, and a multi-core score of 5593. Those results topped other powerhouses including the Samsung Galaxy Note5.

We could see the Meizu Pro 5 unveiled on September 23rd.

Thanks for the tip!
