This will be a successor to very popular Meizu Note 2 that we tested last year and that MTK6753 octa-core powered phone was a great deal for $150.

The successor is called Meizu Note 3 and according to a few leaks, it is again a 5.5-inch phablet with a Full HD LCD screen and comes with a 3200 mAh battery. It should start selling at 799 Yuan (109.85 EUR or $123 USD) for 16GB and 999 Yuan (137.35 EUR or $153.87 USD) for 32GB.

The Meizu Note 3 phone will get a nice boost from the Helio P10 2.0GHz clocked octa Cortex-A53 processor and due to its 28nm HP TSMC manufacturing it should get a better battery life too. This is a huge jump from 1.3GHz to 2.0GHz and the GPU will get a big upgrade from Mali-T720MP3 to dual-core 64-bit Mali-T860 GPU graphics at 700 MHz.

Fudzilla suspects that Meizu Note 2 was one of the best selling phones from Meizu in 2015 as it had a great specification and it didn’t cost an arm and leg. Meizu will also give away one Tesla P90 to one of the lucky winners, to spice up the event and it even plans to live stream it.
