The device is powered by a monster Exynos 5410 Octa processor with 4 Cortex A7 at 1.2GHz and 4 Cortex A15 at 1.6GHz coupled with 2GB RAM. One can also find PowerVR SGX544 GPU supporting the system along with 128GB of storage capacity.

Meizu MX3 is said to be available in multiple variants viz. 16GB, 32GB, 64GB or 128GB of internal storage.

When it comes to Operating System, Meizu MX3 runs on Android Jelly Bean 4.2 along with the layering of Meizu's custom Flyme 3.0 skin.

When it comes to pricing, report suggests that 16GB model would come at $410 (approx. Rs. 27,064) and $650 (approx. Rs. 42,906) for 128GB.
