After weeks of leaks and speculation, the Meizu M3E was announced earlier today at an event in China. The device which was earlier tipped to be the Meizu M1E, packs a fingerprint sensor and sports a sandblasted metal unibody reminiscent of the M3 Note and also takes design cue from the iPhone 6s.

The phablet is backed by a 3100mAh battery (non-removable) with Meizu’s proprietary mCharge quick charging solution. The M3E will arrive in Blue, Gold, Gray, Silver and Rose Gold (looks more like Pink) colour options and will sell in China for a price tag starting at CNY 1299 (US$ 195). Pre-orders begin today and sales kick-off on August 14th.
