The Meizu E3 features a dual-camera setup on its rear panel, that keeps it on the right track as a phone with much higher standing. The camera modules are protected by a piece of sapphire glass and the main shooter is a 12MP Sony IMX362 (f/2.55, 1.4µm) sensor behind f/1.9 lens with Dual-Pixel autofocus. The secondary telecam unit has a 20MP Sony IMX350 (1/2.8″, 1.0µm) imager behind f/2.6  lens with PDAF. It also has a dual-tone flash. The dual-camera on the back of the Meizu E3 is capable of portrait mode with background blur and promise up to 2.5x lossless zoom. The phone has an 8MP f/2.0 camera on the front for taking selfies.

Looking at the design, the Meizu E3 has its internals wrapped in a metal body, and its fingerprint sensor is placed on its right side. The manufacturer said the sensor is always on and unlocks the phone in just 0.2 seconds.

The Meizu E3 came with a 3300mAh non-removable battery that has a 20W fast charging via a new custom cable and adapter. The company advertises the charging as “cold”, and we guess this is a technology similar to the 5V/4A VOOC/Dash Charge. Meizu E3 runs on Flyme OS 7 with Android 7.1.2 serving as a core beneath the launcher.
