Meizu Pro 7 smartphone can receive processor Snadragon 835

The Chinese may well be equipped with a new flagship smartphone Meizu Pro 7 powerful processor Snapdragon 835 from Qualcomm, so as not to repeat the mistakes of last year. Recall that Pro 6 based on MediTek Helio X25, making it the unit most midrange.

MEIZU PRO 7 HAVE FLAGSHIP PROCESSOR

In particular, such considerations shared an authoritative insider KJuma from China. However, he also said that the Meizu is still “at a crossroads” and have not yet chosen its flagship processor.

The last statement seems rather strange given the fact that to Meizu Pro 7 presentations have not more than two months (if the company is planning to meet in traditional terms). However, engineers can develop two prototypes based on different hardware.

MEIZU PRO 7 GET MEDIATEK HELIO X30?

Until now it was thought that Meizu Pro 7 set new chipset MediaTek Helio X30. His performance is certainly enough to run almost any application for Android, but until now it was impossible to reach MediaTek top level mobile processor Qualcomm Snapdragon and Samsung Exynos.

Interestingly, KJuma «predicts» Snapdragon 835 not only Meizu Pro 7 but also cheaper Meizu MX7. However, it is doubtful in view of the fact that the manufacturer has long been considering the MX line as belonging to the middle price range. This model should see the light, according to the “road map” producer, no later than September of this year.

ROADMAP MEIZU

Interestingly, in her Pro 7 should get exactly Helio X30. In addition to the flagship Meizu plans to present in July a relatively inexpensive smartphone Blue Charm S based on Helio P25, but with high-quality optics and sensor main camera.

Xiaomi Mi6 Released tolerated flagship will not arrive at the MWC 2017

The news spread rapidly in China that Xiaomi Mi6 release date will be postponed to a later date. Thus, another flagship smartphone at MWC 2017 will be less, and the manufacturer will not even show their products at the exhibition.

XIAOMI MI6: RELEASE DATE

The first release of Mi6 delay authors wrote TechCrunch, which refer to a certain official representative of Xiaomi. However, rumors of a transfer of the announcement of new products go on the network has at least a month. On what date it was scheduled to transfer – is not yet known.

Note that insiders previously reported data exactly opposite. For example, it was said that Xioami Mi6 show for 14 or 16 February, and in general the company is planning to get ahead of all its competitors, and the flagship production is running at full speed and is about to begin shipments to retailers.

XIOAMI MI6: SPECIFICATIONS

Interestingly, a few days ago came the news that Samsung bought up almost the entire first printing chipset Qualcomm Snapdragon 835. That is exactly their plans to establish in Xiaomi Mi6. Apparently, the Chinese Koreans really ahead and try to win in this manner while referring to the delay in the release of Galaxy S8 until April.

We also learned that one of the variants Xiaomi Mi6 will have a more modest “stuffing”, namely chipset Helio X30 from MediaTek. This edition will be called Youth Edition and will be oriented on the youth audience.

Worth an M6 is $ 290 US, while for the “full” version based on Snapdragon 835 will need to shell out 392 dollars. Something similar was trying to do last year HTC, releasing “lite” HTC 10 Lifestyle (ultimately abortive).

MI6

In general, it is worth noting that despite the rapid 2016, the company is doing now is not the best way. For example, in early January of it left the legendary Hugo Barra, Xiaomi which owes very much.

While the company does not plan to publish reports on sales last year, which is also suggestive: apparently, especially nothing to brag about. And this despite the apparent popularity of Mi5 and Mi 5s, as well as noise around really interesting conceptual Mi Mix.
