It is the company's latest model of the MX series, succeeding the Meizu MX5.

Initial rumors were released in January after AnTuTu benchmark results appeared online, stating that the upcoming device would feature a MediaTek Helio X20 System on a chip, 4 GB of RAM and a Full HD display.

Forbes praised the device for its good value for money, high build quality due to its metal unibody frame and the gesture feature in Flyme OS, noting that “the Meizu MX6 is the best bargain on the market”.
