The excitement of the Meizu m1 launch today totally got in the way the fact that Meizu are now offering phones with Qualcomm Snapdragon processors in China!
Meizu are a long time partner with Samsung, and late last year began working with Mediatek on their phones also, but never have Meizu partnered with Qualcomm until today!
During the launch event of the Meizu m1 and the related “Connected” products, it was also announced that a special version of the Meizu m1 note would be launched for use on China Telecom’s CDMA networks. This version of the m1 note is not powered by the 64bit MT6752 but instead a Snapdragon 615 chip from Qualcomm.
Looking over the specifications of the Snapdragon powered Meizu m1 note we also see that the phone uses Qualcomm’s Adreno 405 GPU and apparently supports TD-LTE, FDD-LTE and GSM. Another difference is the cost of the Qualcomm version of the m1 note which is 1099 Yuan.
Meizu bosses after the launch spoke about their relationship with Qualcomm being very good, and that future cooperation could be on the cards!
