We weren't expecting to hear anything about the [Meizu](http://www.engadget.com/tag/meizu) MX so soon, but as always, CEO Jack Wong loves surprises. Earlier today, our main man quietly mentioned on his forum that his upcoming 4-inch Android phone will now be launching in China at the end of September (around the same time as [the next iPhone event](http://www.engadget.com/2011/07/07/iphone-5-4s-the-rumor-roundup/)?), meaning we won't have to wait till the [end of the year](http://www.engadget.com/2011/04/17/meizu-mx-to-be-jack-wongs-next-dream-phone-coming-with-hdmi-ou/). What's even more interesting, though, is that there will be two MX variants: the 16GB version comes with a dual-core chip, while the 32GB version will sport a quad-core beast.
While it all sounds dandy, we're not entirely sure which quad core chip gets to cuddle with the MX next month, as [Samsung](http://www.engadget.com/2010/04/23/samsungs-arm-roadmap-lays-coordinates-through-2013-aquila-ven/) (a known buddy of Meizu), [Qualcomm](http://www.engadget.com/2011/02/14/qualcomm-unveils-next-gen-snapdragon-family-including-quad-core/) and even [ARM](http://www.engadget.com/2011/04/20/arm-predicts-dual-core-cortex-a15-devices-in-late-2012-quad-cor/) aren't expecting quad core chips until 2012 the earliest, whereas NVIDIA's Kal-El is due to [debut in tablets only this month](http://www.engadget.com/2011/02/15/nvidia-announces-quad-core-kal-el-soc-promises-it-in-tablets-by/). Well, we shall find out in a few weeks. As for the rest, Jack also confirmed that the MX will still have a removable back cover, though it'll now sport a micro-USB port instead of the aging mini-USB socket -- a bold move in a country where the latter is still commonly used. Anyhow, for now, enjoy the latest batch of MX patent drawings in the gallery below.
