Meizu E3 With Snapdragon 636 SoC, 6GB of RAM Launched to Compete With Redmi Note 5

Meizu has finally announced the long-rumoured Meizu E3 smartphone in China today. The smartphone is aimed at competing with Redmi Note 5 smartphone from Xiaomi which was recently launched in China at an affordable price. The Meizu E3 packs similar specifications as the Redmi Note 5 (Note 5 Pro in India). Meizu has been teasing several smartphones for the Indian market, but the company did not launch anything for now due to logistics issues. The same applies to the Meizu E3 as well as it may not head to the Indian market anytime soon.

The Meizu E3 sports metal unibody design with 2.5D curved glass on the front. The device will be available in three colour options- Gold, Black and Blue. The Blue colour variant is looking excellent in the press renders. To the front, the Meizu E3 has a 5.99-inch 18:9 display sporting a resolution of 2160 x 1080 pixels. As seen with the Redmi Note 5, the Meizu E3 is also powered by the Snapdragon 636 SoC, which is the best mid-range chipset available next to Snapdragon 660 SoC.

The phone comes with 6GB of RAM with storage configuration varying between 64GB and 128GB. Meizu did not reveal any 4GB RAM option for the Meizu E3 though. This is where Xiaomi scores a point as it launched the Redmi Note 5 with 3GB, 4GB and 6GB of RAM. There’s a microSD card slot as well for storage expansion up to 256GB.
