Just a few months after launching a $92 smartphone with a 64-bit, octa-core processor and a 5 inch HD display, Chinese phone maker Meizu has unveiled a slightly better model with a slightly higher prices.

Each model has a 5 inch, 1280 x 720 pixel display, a MediaTek MT6750 octa-core ARM Cortex-A53 processor with Mali-T860 graphics, a 13MP rear camera, 5MP front camera, 802.11b/g/n WiFi, Bluetooth 4.0, and 4G LTE support.

The Meizu M3S runs Android 5.1 Lollipop software with Meizu’s Flyme OS user interface, and the phone features a 3,020 mAh battery.

There are two nano SIM card slots, although you can also use one as a microSD card reader.

Like most Meizu smartphones, the M3S will be available exclusively in China at launch, although it may make its way to other markets in the future.
