Although its predecessor used a MediaTek processor and most rumors mentioned the M6 Note would use a chip from the same manufacturer, Meizu's head of global marketing mentioned that this handset might come with a surprise in this department.
Less than a year ago, Meizu M5 Note arrived on the market packing a MediaTek Helio P10 processor. Later this month, its successor should hit the market, and everyone expected it to feature a newer MediaTek chip, most likely the Helio P25. However, it looks like this handset is on its way with something unexpected under the hood.
According to Android Authority, Meizu's head of global marketing Ard Boudeling offered them an exclusive note that reads the following: "The Meizu M6 Note will feature a processor that may surprise people, and will offer a vast improvement in performance and efficiency compared to the previous generation."
Since the Meizu handsets released so far used both MediaTek and Samsung Exynos chips, it is very likely to see the Meizu M6 Note hit the market packing a Qualcomm Snapdragon. On the other hand, a really big surprise would be to get a Meizu phone using a HiSilicon Kirin processor by Huawei.

In my early school days, I hated writing and having to make up stories. A decade later, I started to enjoy it. Since then, I published a few offline articles and then I moved to the online space, where I contributed to major websites that are still present online as of 2021 such as Softpedia, Brothersoft, Download3000, but I also wrote for multiple blogs that have disappeared over the years. I've been riding with the Notebookcheck crew since 2013 and I am not planning to leave it anytime soon. In love with good mechanical keyboards, vinyl and tape sound, but also smartphones, streaming services, and digital art.
