Meizu Pro 6 review: Changing lanes

23 May, 2016
Meizu's Pro series has always been about the full flagship experience. Big high-res screens, top-notch chipsets and advanced imaging all wrapped in a fancy package with a teasing price tag.

Meizu do not care about their software -as an MX4 Pro user this is very apparent. Don't get me wrong; upon release it was a very nice device that did what it needed to. But from overheating to just about every kind of poor reception -I have seen it all thanks to the shoddy software releases. Meizu phones are too Chinese for the general android market; they don't seem to care that Gapps don't work properly (I.e. No notifications) because the majority of their market uses alternatives.

Unless you live in China or can deal with having to try out tens of software versions to find one stable enough for your particular usage I cannot recommend a Meizu device to anyone at the moment.

Especially now that they have lost their hardware appeal, the specs of the Pro 4 was what attracted me, the pro 6 hasn't really improved anything; in fact a battery as small as that is extremely disappointing. If anyone is planning on getting one I am extremely curious to know why, I wouldn't even buy one at half the asking price.

    57h endurance?!? Such. A. Shame :( Most beautiful phone in the market and Meizu made it unusable because of too small battery and energy inefficient chipset. Heart breaking really :(

      Guys, if the iPhone 6 comes with this design, we can safely say the Pro 6 had it first B)

        Why Meizu...the Pro 5 encapsulated everything that the Pro 6 could have improved!!!

            i'm struggling to find the reason of pro's 6 existence. it's just a smaller pro 5 and better in no aspect at all. something like a pro 5 mini + ? come on meizu, only samsung has such blurred lines between their models.
