Word about Meizu planning a new flagship smartphone this year emerged over the weekend when Jack Wong took it on forums to confirm that the new MX4 would be bigger and better than its predecessor.

Although no details on the phone’s specs sheets were revealed by the company’s official, the mere statements regarding the existence of Meizu MX4 caught fans’ imagination.

Today, new info on Meizu MX4’s possible release date emerged online via Phonearena. According to Chinese blog site 163.com, the MX4 should arrive in the Mainland sometime in August.

Meizu MX4 is said to be priced at around $320 (€230), though Android fans should take the information with a grain of salt until the Chinese company confirms the smartphone’s suggested retail price.

No details on the phone’s sheet have been unveiled in the leak, but the latest hearsay claims that Meizu MX4 will boast a stunning 5.5-inch capacitive touchscreen display that supports 2560 x 1536 pixels resolution.

The phone will be available in two versions and at least one of them will be powered by Qualcomm’s new Snapdragon 805 chipset. It will also pack 3GB of RAM, 16-megapixel rear-facing camera and 5-megapixel front-facing camera.

Meizu MX4 is expected to ship with Flyme 4.0 OS, which is based on the latest version of Android. Stay tuned for more updates on the matter.
