Meizu Pro 7 and Pro 7 Plus with secondary display made official

The Meizu Pro 7 and Meizu Pro 7 Plus was made official by the company which will be the Official flagship of the company for the year 2017. The company you've never heard of released a smartphone with two displays. That's cool, isn't it? 

The latest flagship from Meizu features dual-camera, dual-display and brushed finish with metal on the back. The exciting feature of the smartphone is its secondary display. There is this small display on the rear side of the smartphone connecting with the camera which lies just above the secondary display. It's really good to see a company like Meizu is trying something different and doing something new. There are several Chinese companies in existence which basically rip-offs design from phones like iPhone, have same features as other smartphones and even have same icon packs even with custom OS layered on top. These things makes no sense. Today is the world of Invention and everyone appreciates those who are making a constant effort in changing something and trying something new. Personally, I was pretty excited by all those news, rumours and image leaks so it made me research more about the company, its past and its future plans.
