The oft-leaked Meizu M3E is now official packing a 5.5-inch 1080p IPS display with 2.5D curved glass on top running on the octa-core MediaTek MT6755 Helio P10 processor. It runs on the Alibaba's YunOS and can even interact with a car, the Roewe RX5 SUV smart car.
The RX5 was built by SAIC Motors in collaboration with Alibaba, and uses YunOS to power its smart functions. Possibly information like tyre pressure, rear camera image, fuel consumption etc can be seen on the smartphone, but there isn't much detail as to how deep this integration goes.
There's a 13MP rear camera with dual-tone LED flash with Sony IMX258 sensor with phase-detection autofocus (PDAF) for fast 0.2 second focus. There's a 5MP front-facing camera for selfies too.
