Rumors have been brewing on the tech community regarding Meizu's plan to once again use Samsung's Exynos chipsets to power some of the company's upcoming flagship devices.

It was reportedly a very divisive move when Meizu decided in the past to use MediaTek chipsets instead of the one's manufactured by Samsung. However, these recent rumors are once again fueling speculations about a renewed collaboration between the Chinese and South Korean tech giants.

The screenshots leaked recently in several tech forums showed a mystery device dubbed only as the Meizu m96, which was theorized to sport a Samsung Exynos 8890 chipset, 5GB memory, 12-megapixel camera sensor, 2560 x 1440 display and run on Android 6.0 Marshmallow.

An Antutu benchmark test of the Meizu m96 also confirmed that the phone will have a Mali T880 graphics processing unit.

Amid the fact that not much is known about the Meizu m96, it was surmised that it may be unveiled soon, especially that it surfaced on the Antutu benchmark website. 

While most Meizu fans prefer the MediaTek chipset compared to the Exynos chips from Samsung, the recently leaked benchmark test will no doubt cause them to decry their favorite smartphone manufacturer.

On the other hand, much to the delight of many Meizu fans, the leaked benchmark result appeared to be a fake one with obvious Photoshop magic made on the chipset details, according to Giz China.

Regarding its upcoming smartphone models, Meizu has kept its silence about it. No one really knows for sure what the company's plan is when it comes to its series of smartphone devices.
