Meizu's brand new MX4 scores more than 50k on AnTuTu

We've already had a leak of the Meizu MX4 hitting 52,811 on AnTuTu (ver. 5), a few weeks ago, when the handset wasn't even announced. Today, the MX4 confirms its capability to hit the 50k mark on the same benchmark with ease, this time scoring 51,807 – quite a bit ahead of flagships like the HTC One (M8), Samsung Galaxy S5, Note 3, Xperia Z2, and others, all of which strike out below the 44,000 mark.

The Meizu MX4 was announced yesterday and made available for pre-order in China. The handset is powered by MediaTek's octa-core MT6595 and it seems it has no problem running circles around current flagships, commonly equipped with a Snapdragon 801. Of course, this could change with the next wave of bleeding-edge-tech smartphones, but Meizu has some time to enjoy its crown. Furthermore, for a phone that can be bought in China for ~$20 less than the current king of the region – Xiaomi's Mi4, the MX4 not only packs a lot of punch, but has the looks to boot, with ultra-thin bezels, a 75.5% screen-to-body ratio, and a metallic body. Here's hoping that Meizu decide to release it to western markets and still manage to keep its price tag tasty-low.
