Meizu launched a phone called Pro 7 featuring two displays earlier this year. The concept was not new but something different, when compared to the trending bezel-less phone. While most of Meizu's Chinese counterparts have come out with bezel-less phones, the company is yet to launch one.
However now it appears that the brand is ready to release a bezel-less phone. A leaked image of Meizu's upcoming smartphone allegedly called M6s has hit the interweb.
As you can see in the photo, the Meizu M6s has slim bezels on the sides and top and bottom, than a regular smartphone. And going by the trend this means the phone will have a large screen with 18:9 aspect ratio. As a result Meizu will be ditching mTouch home button/fingerprint sensor on the front.
Interestingly, Meizu is not placing the fingerprint scanner at the back. Instead the sensor will be housed in a dedicated physical button on the side frame, like Sony phones. However, the button dosen't double as a power button because there's a dedicated power button too, above the fingerprint sensor. A similar kind of setup is also found on Vernee Mars.
The Meizu M6s will be a budget phone similar to its sibling M6 and M6 Note, and is rumored to come with features like 5.7-inch Full HD+ display, MediaTek MT6793 processor, 3GB/4GB RAM, 32GB/64GB internal storage, 13MP/5MP rear and front cameras. It is expected to ship with Android Nougat based FlymeOS.
According to reports, the Meizu M6s will be unveiled at an event in China on December 20.

Now a days smartphones pack big battery capcity of 3000mAh and above, and this means it will take couple of hours to fully charge or atleast provide 50 percent juice. However, thanks to fast charging technology, phones with bigger batteries take less than an hour to charge. While chip makers Qualcomm and MediaTek embed their own fast charging technology into their chip, there are few smartphone makers who prefer their own technology. For instance OnePlus has Dash Charge and Oppo has VOOC.
That said, today at MWC 2017, Meizu has introduced its own fast charging technology called Super mCharge, which it claims to be the world's quickest fast charging solution. According to Meizu, Super mCharge can fully charge a phone with 3000mAh battery from 0 to 100 percent in 20 minutes.
It is also capable of offering up to 85 percent charge level in 15 minutes, up to 60 percent in 10 minutes and up to 30 percent charge in just 5 minutes.
The new fast charging technology uses 11V/5A charger that boasts a maximum power of 55 percent, compared to 18W in Qualcomm's Quick Charge 3.0 and 20W in Oppo's VOOC. Meizu says that it spent more than a year of R&D to improve the power of Super mCharge to 55W, and its fast charging tech is safe, secure, energy efficient, and keeps the charging device cool, going up to a max 39-degrees Celsius (102.2 degree Fahrenheit).
Citing test results, Meizu claims a 3000mAh ATL battery retains over 80 per cent capacity after over 800 charge and discharge cycles using Super mCharge, giving it a service life of more than two years.
The company has also designed a new data cable for utilizing Super mCharge that can carry up to 160W of power, three time more than the safety margin.
Meizu's Super mCharge fast charging tech will most likely be utilized in the company's upcoming smartphones, due for release later this year.
Just days ahead of MWC, Chinese smartphone maker Meizu is confirming its presence at the event. This will be the very first time Meizu will be making an appearance at the event.
Meizu's MWC event will be held on February 28 and according to the press release, the company will demo new cutting edge wireless solution of the company and products including a major technical achievement that promises to offer a significant enhancement in user experience.
The company also mentioned that it has been working on the new technologies in its R&D centres for over a year, and will be used in smartphone later this year.
Meizu also shared an invite for the event, that has a charging sign, indicating the cutting edge wireless solution it is talking about has to something with wireless fast charging.
In addition,Meizu will also showcase it's entire line of latest and popular products and accessories at its MWC booth (Hall 7, Stand 7K5).
