Second hit: Maze to launch the Alpha X, upgrading the bezel-less bargain of a phone

About 4 months ago, Maze — a newcomer in the mobile phone world — launched its first handset, appropriately named the Alpha. A nearly-bezel-less handset with just a chin under its 6-inch display, a MediaTek Helio P25 SoC, up to 6 GB of RAM, a dual camera, and a 4,000 mAh battery that is still for sale for $190 - $234. But Maze isn't done for this year, nope. The company has now announced the Alpha X — an evolution over the original Alpha.
The new phone upgrades the screen to an 18:9 ratio while maintaining a 6-inch diagonal, so it's a bit narrower while getting a bit taller — in line with today's trends. The resolution is now 1080 x 2160 (FHD+) and we still have thin bezels and just a chin below the screen. According to Maze, the phone has an 89.6% screen-to-body ratio.
The Alpha X is a full glass sandwich, with a Gorilla Glass 5 slab on the front and a Gorilla Glass 4 covering the back. The chin houses a physical button with a fingerprint reader and the selfie camera.
As far as hardware goes, details around the processor are still undisclosed, but it's known that the Maze Alpha X will come with 6 GB of RAM. The handset will still have 2 variants, but they will differ in storage space — 64 GB and 128 GB. We still have a 4,000 mAh cell to keep the lights on and the camera on the back will tote a Sony-made sensor this time around.
The new Alpha X will be hitting the market in November and we expect we'd have more details on hardware as well as pricing then.
