We don’t know anything about Meizu’s next high-end smartphone aside from the fact that it won’t be an MX5 Pro because that lineup has been killed off. However, a well-known analyst by the name of Pan Jiutang has revealed that the Chinese company’s next high-end smartphone won’t come with a MediaTek or Qualcomm processor, it’ll come with Samsung’s own Exynos 7420 chipset.
In the past few months, Meizu has made a number of strategic changes, including establishing a brand new Blue Charm lineup. The changes seems to be working for the company, since its smartphone sales are better than ever. Meizu VP Li Nan recently revealed that the company had decided to scrap the MX5 Pro lineup in favor of a new high-end series. Now, Pan Jiutang, a popular analyst reveals that this new high-end smartphone will use Samsung’s Exynos 7420 chipset. This is the same processor that powers the Galaxy S6 lineup and has received praise from critics as well as customers for its performance. If this turns out to be true, it will also make the new Meizu machine, the first Chinese smartphone to come with a 14nm processor.
