Meizu E3 Specs and Price

One of the smartphones rumoured to be coming with the new MediaTek P60 is the new Meizu E3 and unfortunately does not come with the said chipset but rather goes for a Qualcomm SoC. The Meizu E3 is a mid-range smartphone and has some quite interesting offering and design. The smartphone sure sits at top of the pile with some top of the shelf mid-range specs. Follow me as we find out if the price tag is worth what the smartphone brings to the table.

Design and Display

Discussing the Meizu E3 build, the smartphone newly introduced style of building a smartphone – modern design. Featuring a metallic unibody, the smartphone has trimmed bezels and the narrow 18:9 aspect ratio. Thankfully, the smartphone features a 3.5mm audio jack and a nice clean design. This is one of the smartphone that proves that a USB Type-C and audio jack don’t have to be mutually exclusive. The rear panel has the dual camera at the top left corner, one over the other, and with the flash beneath both cameras.

On to the display, the smartphone is nothing short of impressive at least for a midrange smartphone, aa it ships with a Full HD+ display. With the 18:9 aspect ratio, the 5.99-inch is easier to handle, aided by the minimal bezels around it. The LCD screen has 2160 X 1080 pixels and a pixel density of 403 ppi with no word on any protective glass.

Battery and Camera

This is not a power juggernaut but it does well for itself with a battery capacity a little above the average line. Harnessing power from a 3, 360mAh Li-ion battery, the smartphone should carry you through the day comfortably on normal usage. Also available is fast charge which gives you less time of charging before full charge.

As for optics, there’s the dual rear camera and a single selfie camera making it three cameras on the Meizu E3. On the rear, there is a 12MP camera combined with a 20MP camera and an 8MP sensor up front for selfies. While this seems like a fair arrangement, you could also get this from a number of other mid-range smartphones.

Hardware and Software

Making its way into the top tier of the mid-range sector, there has to be an ideal hardware in there. The Meizu E3 does justice to this, with a Qualcomm SDM636 Snapdragon 636 having 8 cores and a maximum clockspeed of 1.8GHz. In addition, an Adreno 506 GPU is employed for sorting out graphics on the smartphone.
