An increasing number of smartphone manufacturers can be seen adopting the trend of full-screen displays. It all began with the launch of Samsung’s Galaxy S8, followed by Xiaomi and several others. Even Apple is expected to integrate a bezel-less design in its iPhone 8. The drawback in these smartphones is that they come along with a hefty price-tag. Thankfully, interested buyers probably won’t have to shell out that much as Meizu seems to be working on a budget-friendly handset with this feature.
The device leaked online
The device-in-question is believed to be “ocean,” according to a report by Android Headlines.
This leak first appeared on the Chinese social media website, Weibo. It was suggested that Meizu has already begun work on this full-screen handset, which will come powered by Qualcomm’s Snapdragon processor. It is believed to be a one-of-a-kind innovation, given that a long time has passed by since Meizu and Qualcomm joined hands.
Here are the specs and features details
The last time Meizu’s smartphone featured Qualcomm’s processor was when M6 Note had launched, which was way back in 2014. M6 Note came powered with Snapdragon 625 64-bit octa-core processor and it’s obvious that “Ocean,” will feature a highly enhanced processor as well. Android Headlines speculates that the device might fall in the high-end category; therefore, it is likely that it houses Snapdragon 835 64-bit octa-core processor.
This will further be coupled by either 6GB or 8GB of RAM and 64GB of inbuilt storage. Another report by Android Soul suggests that the smartphone might feature either Android Oreo or Android Nougat out-of-the-box topped with Flyme 6 OS. If it comes with Nougat, then it will be upgraded to Oreo via an over-the-air update.
Meizu is expected to pack a dual rear camera setup with the device.
The company’s classic “mBack” physical home key will probably arrive in this one. It is usually located on the bottom of the front panel. Meizu’s Head of Global Marketing recently revealed the company’s plans to integrate talents from Qualcomm, Samsung, and MediaTek together. This might be an indication of what is to come in “Ocean.” The firm earlier this year introduced Meizu Pro 7 and Pro 7 smartphones, that managed to steal the limelight. They came with a secondary display on the rear panel, which was another one of the significant features. The firm will probably introduce “Ocean” towards the end of this year.
