According to this specification, the device should feature 3 GB of RAM and a 5.5-inch Full HD screen.[4]

Features[edit]
Flyme[edit]
The Meizu MX5 was released with an updated version of Flyme OS, a modified operating system based on Android Lollipop. It features an alternative, flat design and improved one-handed usability.
Hardware and design[edit]
The Meizu MX5 features a MediaTek Helio X10 system-on-a-chip with an array of eight ARM Cortex-A53 CPU cores, a PowerVR G6200 GPU and 3 GB of RAM.
The MX5 reaches a score of 53,330 points the in AnTuTu benchmark and is therefore approximately 12% faster than its predecessor, the Meizu MX4.[6][7]
The MX5 is available in four different color variants (grey body with black front, champagne gold body with white front and silver body with black or white front) and comes with 16 GB, 32 GB or 64 GB of internal storage.
Unlike its predecessor, the Meizu MX5 has a full-metal body, which measures 149.9 mm (5.90 in) x 74.7 mm (2.94 in) x 7.6 mm (0.30 in) and weighs 149 g (5.3 oz). It has a slate form factor, being rectangular with rounded corners and has only one central physical button at the front.
Unlike most other Android smartphones, the MX5 doesn’t have capacitive buttons nor on-screen buttons. The functionality of these keys is implemented using a technology called mBack, which makes use of gestures with the physical button. The MX5 further extends this button by a fingerprint sensor called mTouch.
The MX5 features a 5.5-inch AMOLED multi-touch capacitive touchscreen display with a FHD resolution of 1080 by 1920 pixels. The pixel density of the display is 403 ppi.
In addition to the touchscreen input and the front key, the device has volume/zoom control buttons and the power/lock button on the right side, a 3.5mm TRS audio jack on the top and a microUSB (Micro-B type) port on the bottom for charging and connectivity.
The Meizu MX5 has two cameras. The rear camera has a resolution of 20.7 MP, a ƒ/2.2 aperture, a 6-element lens, laser-aided phase-detection autofocus and an LED flash.
The front camera has a resolution of 5 MP, a ƒ/2.0 aperture and a 5-element lens.

Android Authority gave the MX5 a rating of 7.4 out of 10 possible points and mentioned that “the performance is smooth, the display is beautiful, the battery life is impressive, the camera is reliable, the fingerprint scanner is fantastic and the overall build quality is actually very nice”.[8]
Fonearena stated that “the Meizu MX5 is truly a flagship device, despite the low price” and concluded that the device “is highly recommended”.[9]
Android Headlines also reviewed the device and concluded that “[Meizu] did a great job yet again, and if you’re looking for a flagship, and are unwilling to spend $600-800 on one, Meizu MX5 is a great alternative which can compete with the best of them”. Furthermore, Android Headlines praised the battery life, responsive OS and laser-aided focus.[10]
