High-performance hardware

Responsible for its performance is a 64-bit eight-core MediaTek Helio X10 processor. It is fast, performant and relatively cold even under heavy loads. 3 GB of RAM allows you to run many applications on your smartphone at once, and in games they contribute to the smoothness of drawing graphics.

20.7 MP camera

The camera uses a 20.7 megapixel Sony sensor, so you can be sure of high quality pictures. In addition to a good sensor, the camera received f / 2.2 optics and laser autofocus for fast and accurate focus on the subject. Video can be recorded in 4K quality, in reviews its quality is positively evaluated.

Quality screen

Meizu MX5 differs from many competitors with its AMOLED display. This solution is traditional for Samsung, and other companies are in no hurry to abandon IPS matrices for the sake of richer blacks and better energy savings. The reason lies in the appearance of a green tint characteristic of AMOLED matrices at non-optimal viewing angles and a specific pixel construction scheme, which some users distinguish and perceive negatively. In short, it's a matter of taste and it's best to make sure you like the MX5's 5.5-inch Full HD screen before buying. But you should not worry about its security — it is protected by Gorilla Glass 3 and an oleophobic coating.

Flyme OS user interface

Meizu MX5 comes with Android 5 operating system with Flyme OS user interface. Its feature is the absence of a separate menu with all applications. It also has several useful improvements to simplify the work — double-tap unlock, instant swipe to launch applications, etc. If you are worried about the security of personal data, then Meizu MX5 will dispel your anxiety — a fingerprint scanner is built into the button. So no one except you can access the information on your smartphone.
