On August 2, 2016, a launch event for the new device for August 10, 2016, was officially announced. [4]

As announced, the M3E was released in Beijing on August 10, 2016.

Pre-orders for the M3E began after the launch event on August 10, 2016.

The Meizu M3E was released with an updated version of Flyme OS, a modified operating system based on Android Marshmallow. It features an alternative, flat design and improved one-handed usability.

Hardware and design

The Meizu M3E features a MediaTek Helio P10 system-on-a-chip with an array of eight ARM Cortex-A53 CPU cores and an ARM Mali-T860 MP2 GPU. The M3E comes with 3 GB of RAM and 32 GB of internal storage. It reaches a score of 47397 points on the AnTuTu benchmark. [5]
