Meizu has officially unveiled its flagship Android smartphones for 2017. Dubbed Meizu Pro 7 and Pro 7 Plus, the newbies come with Dual-cameras, Dual-displays, and Helio X30 chipset, MediaTek’s flagship deca-core chipset.

The Meizu Pro 7 and Pro 7 Plus share the identical design language featuring the same full metal unibody construction. Both the smartphones carry dual-cameras on the rear panel. The Dual-cameras used on the back is 12MP Sony IMX386 sensors, where one functions as Monochrome (b/w) sensor and another as RGB (color) sensor.

On the front, Meizu Pro 7 and Pro 7 Plus sports 5.2-inch and 5.7-inch super AMOLED display respectively sourced from Samsung. The display on the Meizu Pro 7 offers Full HD resolution whereas its elder sibling aka Meizu Pro 7 Plus offers QHD resolution. Since the smartphones bear dual-displays, there is another 1.9-inch display on the rear panel beneath the camera setup. The dual-display was conceptualized and introduced on Yota Phones, which had E-ink display on the rear panel. Though the concept and innovation were impressive, it failed to garner customers. Unlike the Yota phones, Meizu has used super AMOLED displays on Pro 7 and Pro 7 Plus. The secondary display can be used to view notifications, control music player, gain weather information and to take selfies. Because of the presence of dual-camera setup on the back, the secondary display will assist in taking selfies with Bokeh effects.
