The Chinese underdog Maze Mobile has just introduced the Alpha X, a 6-inch phablet with a MediaTek Helio P25 processor and a screen-to-body ratio of 89.6 percent. The variant with 6 GB RAM and 64 GB internal storage can be pre-ordered for US$209.99 until Saturday.

This phone has nearly every feature that you'd see in a flagship, except for processor. This means those companies have no excuse.
Well, I think it lacks NFC, stereo speakers, UFS storage, and a high-end processor. Anyway, the Helio P25 is not that bad.
