Meizu MX5 specs leaked in benchmark listings

The Meizu MX5 is merely a week away from official launch, which is set for June 30. It's also not exactly the best kept secret, as we've already caught a few glimpses of it in live images. It is no wonder then that sample units have made it to the hands of testers, keen to share.

The latest leaks come from a couple of benchmark listings, one revealing a few key specs, the other providing insight on the performance you could expect from Meizu's newest flagship. The GFXBench entry confirms what previous rumors have settled on in terms of display size, and the MX5 packs a 5.5-inch FullHD unit.


The benchmark reports 3GB of RAM and 16GB of internal storage. There's a 20.7MP primary camera on the back of the handset, which is capable of 2160p video recording. On top of that the 5MP selfie snapper can also shoot 1080p videos.

It was initially known that the chipset inside the Meizu MX5 would be an MT6793, one we hadn't seen officially announced. However, both of today's benchmark entries report Mediatek's MT6795T SoC, also known as Helio X10, so we'd put our money on that one. It comes with an octa-core Cortex-A53 processor clocked at up to 2.1GHz and a PowerVR G6200 GPU.


It's not just specs we're treated to though, we now have the alleged MX5's Geekbench score. A number around the 5300 mark puts the MX5 in Galaxy S6 territory, and we'd be truly impressed if it checks out when we get to test one ourselves, hopefully sooner rather than later.
