Meizu Pro 6 Plus Announced, Features 5.7-inch QHD Display and Exynos 8890

Meizu has unveiled its latest flagship, the Pro 6 Plus and as an iterative upgrade for the Pro 6, the Plus does come with updated hardware including a bigger and better display unit, new SoC and larger battery. The device comes wrapped in an unibody aluminum build and is reminiscent of the recent Meizu phones. Right below the rear camera unit at the back one could see the LED ring flash notification system.

The phone comes powered by a Samsung Exynos 8890 SoC, yes the same one used in the Galaxy S7 and is paired with a generous 4GB of RAM. The Meizu Pro 6 Plus sports 5.7-inch OLED display set at a resolution of 2560 x 1440 (QHD). On the storage front, the device will be offered in both 64GB and 128GB variant.

The imaging setup on the device includes a 12-Megapixel primary sensor along with a 5-Megapixel secondary sensor. Meizu Pro 6 Plus is the first phone to run on the Meizu’s proprietary Flyme 6 and will be based on Android 6.0.1. As per Meizu the Flyme 6 apparently comes with 400 new features and is also powered by an “AI Engine” that the company calls One Mind. Also, the Pro Plus comes with the 3D touch that currently works only on the inbuilt apps. The device will be backed up by a 3,400mAh battery that supports mCharge fast charging.

Apple Music Student Membership in India to Cost Less Than a Dollar

Apple has now introduced the Student tier for its Apple Streaming services across more than 20 countries including India, Canada, and Japan. Taking into account the new additions the total number of countries supported by Apple Music now stands at 30. Apple Music’s student tier had earlier been available in the US, Germany, Ireland, New Zealand, the UK, Australia and Denmark while all the other countries are a recent addition.

In order to access the student tier of the Apple Music, one needs to be enrolled in educational institutions. In U.S the Student tier costs just $4.99 while in India the deal is much better at just $0.90, yes, the Apple Music for students in India costs less than a dollar while the regular subscription is priced almost double at $1.75. What this also means is that the Apple Music for students is way cheaper than its Indian competitors including Gaana and Saavn. Recently, Google had also started the Play Music service in India with singles starting from Rs 15.

Before availing the services students have to verify their association with an educational university via a third party service called UNiDAYS. The same service is also avialable as an app that helps students get discounts after they are verified by UNiDAYS. So this service ensures that a student is enrolled in that particular university before they are allowed to make use of the Student tier subscription. One caveat though is that the students are required to punch in their college email ids and I am pretty much sure that not all colleges allocate a dedicated email ID to their students. Furthermore, in the US students can register for the Apple Music via college Wi-Fi and get the benefits but once again it’s doubtful if the same can be done in Indian Universities.

The Student pricing doesn’t come as a surprise move since it was speculated that Apple was going to announce the same a couple of weeks ago. Now that the prices are announced it only makes it much harder for Apple Music competitors to beat the Value for Money proposition and might compel some of them to amend their pricing structures as well. Spotify already offers a $4.99 Student plan in the U.S but they don’t have the global reach that Apple Music currently has. On a related note, Apple Music had 17 million paying customers as of September and the numbers only seems to be increasing.
