Meizu m3x starts at around $250 with snazzy design, Helio P20 power, high-end camera

In case Meizu’s mid-range Android smartphone family didn’t feel convoluted enough, the Chinese OEM just took the wraps off the 5.5-inch m3x, joining the super-low-cost 5-inch m3 and m3s, slightly pricier 5.5-inch m3e, and jumbo-sized 6-inch m3 Max.

Clearly not as attractive for power users as the Pro 6 Plus, the Meizu m3x caters to budget-conscious fashionistas with a shiny (literally) glass back and ceramic crystal coating in eye-catching Pearl White, Phantom Blue, Gold and Obsidian Black colors.

The 2.5D curved display sports respectable Full HD (1,920 x 1,080 pixels) resolution, while an octa-core Helio P20 processor runs the hardware show in lieu of the m3 Max and m3e’s P10. You can opt for 32 or 64GB internal storage, and 3 or 4GB RAM, with pre-orders underway today in Meizu’s China homeland at 1,699 and 1,999 Yuan ($247 and $290) respectively.

Both m3x configurations of course pack the same rapid-charging 3200mAh battery, and believe it or not, they even borrow the ultra-high-end 12MP Sony IMX386 rear-facing camera sensor from the far costlier Pro 6 Plus.

The stellar bang for buck yuan of the Meizu m3x is consolidated by a 5MP selfie shooter with f/2.0 aperture, USB Type-C port, blazing fast mTouch fingerprint scanner, 4G LTE connectivity, and 7.4mm wasp waist. Too bad this thing is also based on Marshmallow out the box.

Meizu M3 Max dreams bigger with 6-inch Full HD display, 4100 mAh battery

They say bigger is better, but it doesn’t necessarily have to be (much) pricier too. The M3 Max is obviously the largest, arguably the greatest, and narrowly the costliest member of Meizu’s extensive mid-range M3 family, also including standard, Note, S and
