Meizu has launched its latest mid-range smartphone the Meizu M6s. The phone comes with a Samsung Exynos processor and a fingerprint sensor locate not on the front or rear but on the side of the phone. Earlier the phone was introduced in China as Meizu S6.
The Meizu M6s is the first smartphone to be powered by a hexacore Samsung Exynos 7872 processor coupled with Mali-G71 GPU. It comes with a 5.7-inch 1440* 720 pixels HD+ 2.5D curved glass in-cell display.
The phone comes with a 16-megapixel Samsung CMOS Lens and an 8-megapixel front-facing camera, both cameras come with f/2.0 aperture while the front camera comes with ‘adaptive beauty technology’ for selfies.
Another highlight of Meizu M6s is its Super Back or Halo button, which is basically an onscreen button that comes with gesture support thanks to the pressure sensor display. The Fingerprint sensor on M6s is side-mounted on the power button.
A 3000mAh battery powers the device and it comes with fast charging as well. The phone runs on Flyme OS 6.2 on top of Android 7.1.2 Nougat out of the box.
