Pictures of the Meizu MX4 Pro show the phone's metallic body on the inside. Price leaked
Meizu's event, where the company will reportedly announce the MX4 Pro, and possibly an iPod-like MP3 player, is only 5 days away, and surprise, surprise – we have some more leaked photos to show.
China-based website iGeek was nice enough to post a few pictures of the new phablet's metallic body, sans the display panel and back cover. On them, we can clearly see a square cutout, where the home button is supposed to be. This goes in line with rumors about a fingerprint sensor that we've been hearing about the new handset.
The Meizu MX4 Pro is an anticipated handset among those in-the-know, since its predecessor – the MX4 – has proven to be a quite capable device. It topped the list of AnTuTu's most powerful phones for Q3 2014, it has an impressive 20.7 Sony IMX 220 sensor-equipped camera, and it houses a beautiful 5.2” display in an easy-to-hold chassis, with an impressive 75.52% screen-to-body ratio.
The Pro variant is rumored to build up on that with a larger, 5.5” screen, a QHD resolution (1440 x 2560), a Samsung-made Exynos octa-core CPU, 3 GB of RAM, and the aforementioned fingerprint scanner. The price of this new powerhouse is yet unknown, though, it won't be long now – there are just 5 days left to the 19th of November.

Update:
Another rumor claims that the MX4 Pro will come in 16 and 32 GB variants, priced at $520 and $570, respectively. The SoC on board is said to be the Exynos 5 5430 – the same one that can be found in the Samsung Galaxy Alpha. The fingerprint scanner will reportedly (and hopefully) be of the press-to-scan type, a-la Apple, instead of the swipe-to-scan type found on Samsung devices.
It will be interesting to see what Meizu does with the Samsung-made CPU – the aforementioned AnTuTu statistic claimed that the Exynos-equipped Galaxy Alpha actually fared worse than the Snapdragon-toting one, and omitted the Exynos results. Let's hope the manufacturer knows what its doing and doesn't ruin the MX4's track record with an underperforming Pro variant.
