Meizu Pro 5 Review

This summer, Meizu launched the MX5 — an ambitious handset that made a wonderful first impression before revealing itself as a slick-looking bundle of compromises. Fast forward to November, and Meizu is already in for a re-match with the Pro 5. Put in...

Meizu Pro 5 review

Does this Pro iteration bring more to the table than just a larger size? We find out, in this in-depth Meizu Pro 5 review!

Unibody metal design ; Expandable storage via microSD card ; Dual-SIM capabilities ; Large, vibrant display ; USB Type-C ; Long lasting battery ; Fast charging ; Fluid performance ; Hi-Fi audio
