Meizu may not be the biggest smartphone manufacturer in China, it’s one of the few Chinese companies that has actually managed to establish a respectable reputation outside of its home country. While the company’s recent mid-range M2 Note was impressive, Meizu’s new flagship smartphone is what we really want to see, and what’s most likely to find success in the West. The leaked specs are already pretty impressive, so I’m excited to see what else Meizu has to show us when it officially unveils the smartphone on June 30th. 

Meizu is one of the more interesting China-based companies. This smartphone OEM did a great job last year, they released three really compelling devices and with the help of those units managed to increase their sales. Meizu’s is constantly growing, and even though it still doesn’t have the sales number of the biggest Chinese smartphone manufacturers, they might get there in the coming years. Meizu has released the M2 Note mid-range handset recently, and we knew that they’ll hold yet another event at the end of this month thanks to our sources. We did not, however, know when will that event be held, until today, read on. The company has sent us an invite to the event in Beijing on June 30th (check out the provided image), during which they’ll announce their new flagship, the Meizu MX5. The company basically confirmed that the device will be made out of metal in this invitation, but we already kind of knew that. Anyhow, this event will be held at China National Convention Center in Beijing at 5:30PM (local time) / 5:30AM EST / 2:30AM PST. We’ll be covering this event live from the show floor, so mark your calendars and let’s see what Meizu has to offer.
