The Meizu Pro 5 is the first device under the Chinese company's new Pro lineup. Launched alongside Meizu's new logo, it marks the beginning of something new for the company. In comparison to previous devices from Meizu, the Pro 5 is its most premium smartphone to date.

A now almost standard trend in the Android smartphone world is the presence of "Pro" or "Plus" iterations of popular flagships, with this suffix not only indicative of a bump in size, but, as seen with a lot of such devices, a boost in specifications and features as well.
Pros:
- -Unibody metal design -Expandable storage via microSD card -Dual-SIM capabilities -Large
- vibrant display -USB Type-C -Long lasting battery -Fast charging -Fluid performance -Hi-Fi audio
Cons:
- -Lackluster camera
- Weak speaker
- Limited LTE band support

Budget flagship
UPDATE: Software problems solved. There is an app called 'Security' (which controls everything in fact) and although I gave every permission for the apps (Google, Google Now launcher, Messenger), this app overrid them.
Pros:
- Build quality
- Performance
- Great (but not LG-like) manual camera controls
- PRICE
Cons:
- Lack of OIS
- A little unusual software and some settings to look after if you don't want anything surprising
- Camera is only awesome until there is enough light

Featured Review: Meizu PRO 5
What is there left to say? Meizu PRO 5 is one of the best devices I have reviewed to date. The phone has lots to offer in terms of build, performance, camera and sound output. Its display is really great as well, especially for those of you who appreciate OLED panels.

Meizu Pro 5 Ubuntu Edition review
I was excited when the Meizu Pro 5 Ubuntu Edition arrived in the post. I quickly opened the impressive packaging, picked up the beautiful hardware and eagerly turned the phone on. Soon, I was using Linux – specifically Ubuntu – on a phone for the very first time.

Meizu PRO 5 Ubuntu edition review
While the majority of MWC 2016 is focused on Android-powered smartphones, Canonical wants to prove that Ubuntu is just as good as iOS or Android, and can work on a high-end smartphone.

Meizu PRO 5 Ubuntu edition review
While we're impressed with the spec and build of the Meizu Pro 5 Ubuntu edition, we're not quite sold on the Ubuntu operating system - not just yet, anyway. We only had a limited time with the smartphone at MWC 2016 and with any new operating system, you need to spend time getting to know its features and how it works. However we found it to be pretty confusing and swipe gestures quickly became frustrating when not recognised. The operating system has potential, but we think its for die-hard Ubuntu fans - for now anyway. We'll get one back to the PC Advisor Towers, spend some time using the Ubuntu OS and update this with a more thorough verdict soon.
