Is this the Meizu Pro 6 Plus showing off a dual curved-edge screen?

Meizu will be holding a media event on September 3rd to introduce a brand new handset. There is speculation that the new phone will be the Meizu Pro 6 Plus. The Meizu Pro 6 was unveiled back in April and released the following month. Now, a pair of renders reveal the front and back of what is claimed to be a premium version of that model.

Based on the renders, we can see that unlike the Pro 6, the Meizu Pro 6 Plus will sport a dual curved-edge screen. A device with the model number Meizu M96 was run through the AnTuTu benchmark test. There is speculation that this is the Pro 6 Plus. If so, the display will feature a 1440 x 2560 resolution and the Exynos 8890 SoC will be under the hood. Yes Virginia, that is the same chipset that powers Samsung's current high-end models such as the Samsung Galaxy S7, Samsung Galaxy S7 edge, Samsung Galaxy S7 Active and the Samsung Galaxy Note 7. This means that the Meizu Pro 6 Plus could be equipped with a quad-core CPU and the Mali-T880 MP12 GPU.

4GB of RAM is inside along with 32GB of native storage. A 12MP camera graces the rear of the device, while the front-facing 5MP shooter takes selfies and handles video chats. Pricing and availability should be revealed during the September 3rd event. The long rumored Meizu smartwatch might also see the light of day during that event. Last month, we passed along leaked photos of what allegedly is the watch. Reportedly, the timepiece will be powered by the Rockchip RK6321 SoC with two Cortex A5 cores. That would seem to rule out Android Wear as the OS for the device.
