According to the certification information, the new device should feature a 5-inch display with a resolution of 720 by 1280 pixels.

In the beginning of June 2016, there were statements on Chinese social media that the upcoming device could be called Meizu M3S. Furthermore, a launch event for the new device on June 13, 2016, was announced. [3]

As announced, the M3S was released in Beijing on June 13, 2016.

Pre-orders for the M3S began after the launch event on June 13, 2016.

Features

Flyme

The Meizu M3S was released with an updated version of Flyme OS, a modified operating system based on Android Lollipop. It features an alternative, flat design and improved one-handed usability.

Hardware and design

The Meizu M3S features a MediaTek MTK 6750 system-on-a-chip with an array of eight ARM Cortex-A53 CPU cores, an ARM Mali-T860 MP2 GPU and 2 GB or 3 GB of RAM. The M3S reaches a score of 38451 points on the AnTuTu benchmark. [4]

The M3S is available in four different colors (grey, silver, champagne gold and rose gold) and comes with either 2 GB of RAM and 16 GB of internal storage or 3 GB of RAM and 32 GB of internal storage.

The Meizu M3S has a full-metal body, which measures 141.9 mm (5.59 in) x 69.9 mm (2.75 in) x 8.3 mm (0.33 in) and weighs 138 g (4.9 oz). It has a slate form factor, being rectangular with rounded corners and has only one central physical button at the front.

In addition to the touchscreen input and the front key, the device has volume/zoom control buttons and the power/lock button on the right side, a 3.5mm TRS audio jack on the top and a microUSB (Micro-B type) port on the bottom for charging and connectivity.

The Meizu M3S has two cameras. The rear camera has a resolution of 13 MP, a ƒ/2.2 aperture, a 5-element lens, phase-detection autofocus and an LED flash. The front camera has a resolution of 5 MP, a ƒ/2.0 aperture and a 4-element lens.
