But according to MeizuMe, the actual device will have an even thinner frame. Allegedly, Meizu MX II will feature 4.4-inch Sharp IGZO display. The good thing about Sharp’s IGZO technology is it allows less power consumption for high-res displays and higher sensitivity on touchscreens, with far less noise to contend with. It seems very likely that Meizu MX II’s display will have 1920×1080 resolution or higher.
