Meizu Pro 6s to be unveiled on October 31st, powered by a deca-core CPU from MediaTek?

Images of the Meizu Pro 6s were unveiled the other day, along with a partial list of the specs. The device will carry an unknown screen size with a 1080 x 1920 FHD display. Live pictures of the handset indicate that the MediaTek MT6796 chipset will be under the hood, equipped with a deca-core CPU and the Mali-T880 GPU. 4GB of RAM is available, along with 64GB of native storage. The included MCharge technology is Meizu's version of rapid charging.

A previously released teaser hinted at an October 31st unveiling of the Meizu Pro 6s. Also expected to show up at the event is the mid-range Meizu M5. The latter has a screen carrying a 720 x 1280 resolution. The MediaTek MT6750 SoC is under the hood with an octa-core CPU, and the Mali-T860 GPU. 2GB of RAM is on board along with 16GB of native storage. On back is a 13MP camera.

Other handsets coming out soon include the Huawei Mate 9, which is expected to be unveiled on November 3rd. Earlier this month, the manufacturer invited us to an event taking place in Munich on that date. We were told that the device being unveiled is a flagship handset which certainly sounds like the Huawei Mate 9. We expect to see three variants of the device to be introduced on November 3rd. The phone is powered by the home grown Kirin 960 SoC, with up to 6GB of RAM and 256GB of internal storage. A dual-camera setup is on back, with 20MP and 12MP sensors aboard.
