Weekly Roundup – Meizu MX6, LG X Screen, Asus ROG GX700, Transcend SSD220S and more

This week saw quite a lot of launches as well as a few announcements. All of the latter happened internationally and the major one was the launch of the Meizu MX6 smartphone.

The Meizu MX6 is the successor to last year’s MX5 smartphone and features a similar 5.5″ 1080p display. Internally though, it has received a major boost in terms of performance thanks to 4GB of RAM and a Deca-Core (10 Core) processor in the form of the Helio X20 from Mediatek. It is also the first smartphone to have a Sony IMX 386 sensor at the back which has a 1/2.9″ sensor with 12 Megapixels resolution and 1.25 micro pixel size.

Up front, users get a fingerprint sensor, mTouch button and a 5 Megapixel camera too. It has 32GB of on-board storage as well as a Dual nanoSIM slot. The device is already up for pre-order in China and will start selling on July 30th. We have already unboxed the device for your viewing pleasure.

Next up, we have two new smartphones from ZTE. The first one is the ZMax Pro which is a 6 inch 1080p phablet powered by a Snapdragon 617 processor. There is a 13 Megapixel rear camera as well as a front facing 5 Megapixel camera. On-board, users get 32GB of expandable storage, 2GB of RAM and a 3400 mAh battery that supports Qualcomm Quick Charge 3.0. Additionally, you also get a fingerprint sensor at the back and the smartphone is available at an incredibly low price of US$ 99 in the US starting from August 1st.

ZTE also announced a “fresh” new phone for people who prefer smaller handsets. The ZTE Small Fresh 4 has a 5.2″ 1080p display housed in a slim metal body that is just 7.5mm thick. It is powered by an octa-core Mediatek MT6753 processor and has 2GB of RAM. The internal 16GB of storage can be expanded by upto 64GB with microSD cards using the Hybrid DualSIM card slot. Just like the ZMax pro, you get a 13 Megapixel camera at the back, a 5 Megapixel camera at the front and a fingerprint sensor too just below the camera module at the rear. It supports 4G LTE and comes with a 2540 mAh battery. The smartphone is already available to order in China but will go on sale starting from July 26th onwards.
