An image of a new circuit board for a smartphone Meizu is believed to be working on surfaced yesterday and some analysis seems to yield some clues as to the specifications for the new phone. We previously reported on a leaked render of a Meizu MX3, believed to be the successor to the MX2, which shows a phone with a thin bezel and reminiscent of the HTC One. Up until now, most speculation has been the device will come with a 5.1-inch full HD screen. The photo of the circuit board has led many to believe the device may actually come with a 5.5-inch or larger screen.
Analyzing the photo of the circuit board, some believe it measures 75mm in width. If that is accurate and reports that it will have a full HD screen running at a 16:9 ratio are accurate as well, the screen would have to be at least 5.5-inch or more in size. The MX3 is expected to be equipped with an Exynos 5 Octa processor and 2GB of RAM. Mated to the large screen, this should put Meizu in competition with some of the other large, top-tier smartphones on the market.
Readers of the forum where the image was originally posted also analyzed the image for other clues about the device. They believe the MX3 will support NFC, it is a toss-up as to whether the battery will be removeable, it is likely to support a microSD card, the battery should be in the 2200 – 2400 mAh range, and LTE support is not likely.
Although it is doubtful the MX3 would hit the U.S. market, we will continue to watch for more news about the device.
