In March 2016, rumors about the PRO 6 possibly featuring force touch technology appeared after a screenshot had been posted on social media. [3]

Later that month, MediaTek announced that the Helio X25 system-on-a-chip was co-developed together with Meizu and will be exclusively used in the PRO 6. [4]

On April 7, 2016, Meizu officially confirmed the launch event of the PRO 6 in Beijing for April 13, 2016. [5]

Release

Pre-orders for the PRO 6 began after the launch event on April 13, 2016. Sales in mainland China began on April 30, 2016.

Features

Flyme

The Meizu PRO 6 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. For the PRO 6, it has been extended by features for the pressure-sensitive 3D Press technology.

Hardware and design

The Meizu PRO 6 features a MediaTek Helio X25 with an array of ten ARM Cortex CPU cores, an ARM Mali-T880 MP4 GPU and 4 GB of RAM, which scores a result of 96765 points on the AnTuTu benchmark. [6] This represents an increase of 13% compared to its predecessor, the Meizu PRO 5. [7]

The Meizu PRO 6 has a full-metal body, which measures 153.6 mm (6.05 in) x 75.2 mm (2.96 in) x 7.25 mm (0.285 in) and weighs 155 g (5.5 oz). It has a slate form factor, being rectangular with rounded corners and has only one central physical button at the front. Unlike most other Android smartphones, the PRO 6 doesn't have capacitive buttons nor on-screen buttons. The functionality of these keys is implemented using a technology called mBack, which makes use of gestures with the physical button. This button also includes a fingerprint sensor called mTouch.

Furthermore, a haptic technology called 3D Press has debuted on the PRO 6, which allows the user to perform a different action by pressing the touchscreen instead of tapping.

The PRO 6 is available in three different colors (grey, silver and champagne gold) and comes with either 32 or 64 GB of internal storage.

The PRO 6 features a 5.2-inch Super AMOLED multi-touch capacitive touchscreen display with a (FHD resolution of 1080 by 1920 pixels. The pixel density of the display is 426.3 ppi.

In addition to the touchscreen input and the front key, the device has a volume/zoom control and the power/lock button on the right side and a 3.5mm TRS audio jack, which is powered by a dedicated Cirrus Logic CS43L36 Hi-Fi amplifier.

Just like its predecessor, it uses USB-C for both data connectivity and charging.

The Meizu PRO 6 has two cameras. The rear camera has a resolution of 21.16 MP, a ƒ/2.2 aperture and a 6-element lens. Furthermore, the phase-detection autofocus of the rear camera is laser-supported. The front camera has a resolution of 5 MP, a ƒ/2.0 aperture and a 5-element lens.

Reception

The PRO 6 received mostly favorable reviews. Android Authority gave an overall rating of 7.9 out of 10 points, concluding that the PRO 6 “gets a lot right, such as the build quality, the display [..], an extremely fast and accurate fingerprint scanner, and a great sounding speaker”. [8]

AndroidPit noted that the device offers good performance for an attractive price, concluding that “for $370 you get a phone with above average performance”. [9]
