Chinese manufacturer Meizu has been on all fours lately with the recent launchings of its wide range of products. From its budget-friendly offerings of Meizu M3, Meizu M3 Note, Meizu U10 to the acclaimed Meizu M5, the firm has also released its all-powerful Meizu Pro 6S, whose specifications could rival the flagships from Xiaomi Inc. and Huawei Technologies.

And if these series of releases do not count for Meizu as competitive enough, rumors are now circulating that the firm may actually go out with a bang before 2016 concludes. The company has just announced an event that falls on Nov. 30 in which the purported Meizu M5 Note is expected to unveiled. But in true Meizu fashion, another mysterious entry has been rumored to be unwrapped alongside it.

AndroidHeadlines has shared that Meizu could be launching Meizu X, the iteration the firm has been teasing since last month. The teaser which was associated to the device has come with "Make Helio Great Again." This caption has led most to believe that Meizu X could very well be equipped with the latest Helio P20 system on chip (SoC).

Meanwhile, other circles have speculated that the forthcoming smartphone may be armed with Helio X30. This rumor has crept through despite the fact that it is going to be MediaTek's flagship chipset slated to be unveiled in 2017. As such, the X30 is set to bring a new deca-core tri-cluster processor with 4X Cortex-A73 at 2.8GHz, 4X Cortex-A53 at 2.2GHz and 2X Cortex-A53 at 2.0GHz. On the other hand, the device is expected to be armed with PowerVR 7XT quad-core graphics processing unit (GPU) for its graphics.

A set of leaked pictures has also pointed that Meizu X will be sporting an antenna-less metal back and the surrounding ring flash for its camera.

Along with Meizu X, the Meizu M5 Note will also debut. It is speculated to come with 5.5-inch 1,080p display and will be powered by Helio P20 chip with an octa-core Cortex-A53 processor and Mali-T880 MP2 for its GPU.
