Jul 27
If you didn’t get enough mobile news during the week, not to worry, because we’ve opened the firehose for the truly hardcore. This week brought hints of a jumbo-sized Lumia smartphone, an early preview of an advanced camera app for CyanogenMod and the arrival of the Meizu MX2 in white. These stories and more await after the break. So buy the ticket and take the ride as we explore all that’s happening in the mobile world for this week of July 22nd, 2013.

It was slightly more than a week ago when we reported that we spotted the Meizu MX2 in the wild, and it did not take too long before this spanking new smartphone has become official. Yes sir, the Meizu MX2 has just been announced on an official basis, and underneath the hood, this bad boy packs in a quartet of 32nm Cortex-A9 CPU processors, accompanied by 2GB RAM, carry a 4.4″ display at WXGA resolution (which amounts to 1280 x 800 pixels) alongside a rather impressive 347 ppi pixel density. Shame that it does not fall under the phablet category to keep up with the times, but perhaps there is some good as well for it being a decent sized smartphone.
Meizu does seem all set to make an announcement of the Meizu MX successor later this month, but some enterprising folks have managed to get a hold of hands-on images, leaking them to the Internet, of course, and creating quite the buzz along the way. It does seem as though the Meizu MX2 will do away with the overall design that tends to resemble that of the iPhone, in order to gain a character that it can call its own. You will no longer find any more physical controls located below the display, where these have been replaced by the now standard on-screen Android navigation controls.
