Not long ago standing out among smartphones was as
simple as having a faster processor, some more RAM, throwing in a fingerprint
scanner, and maybe a bigger screen size to something bigger than the
competition. In 2017, manufacturers are forced to get a bit more creative —
introducing things like eye scanners, dual cameras, infinity displays, secondary tickers, and, in
Meizu’s case, a brand new rear display.
Will this secondary screen be of any use or just
another gimmick like LG V20?
Meizu touts that secondary screen will help in
taking selfies with the rear camera, change music, and do other quick functions
without turning on the front display. We can be sure of it only once it is
available for testing.
Design
Design wise, both the Meizu Pro 7 sports a slim metallic body with dual camera sensors and the
second screen at the back situated on the left edge. The Home Button is in the
front with a fingerprint scanner underneath, and the USB Type-C port and
speaker grille are on the bottom edge of the smartphones. The power and volume
keys are on the right edge, and the smartphones come with a 3.5mm audio jack as
well.
Meizu has made a second screen at the back of the
smartphone, for various purposes that Meizu thinks are essential. The second
screen shows the time, notifications, weather, and also serves as a selfie
screen for taking portraits from the rear camera. The small screen takes up the
top left space at the back, with the dual cameras sitting on the top edge however
just how it will impact the overall durability and actual user-friendliness
remains to be seen. Meizu Pro 7 will go on sale August 5th, starting at $430.
