Leave it to the Chinese to experiment with smartphone features just to stand out of the crowd. Meizu, the Chinese electronics manufacturer has just announced its new flagship smartphone, the Pro 7 and Pro 7 Plus. What’s unique about these smartphones is that they come with a secondary display on the back, and no, the secondary display doesn’t take up all the rear space like the YotaPhone. Instead, the secondary display is small at just 2-inches and sits beneath the camera module. For the design, Meizu has extensively worked with the San Francisco based firm, Frog Design.
The question many people will have here is will the secondary display serve any purpose? According to Meizu, the rear Super AMOLED panel will display notifications, time, music controls and serve as a viewfinder when taking selfies from the rear camera. All of this does sound pretty interesting but we’ll rest for a real-life use case after we have tried the smartphones.
On the front, Pro 7 and Pro 7 Plus feature a 5.2-inch full HD (1920x1080 pixels) and a 5.7-inch Quad HD (2560x1440) Super AMOLED display respectively.
