### Software

The smartphone was released on Flyme 6.2, which was based on Android 7.0 Nougat. It was updated to Flyme 8.0.

#### Control

In order to reduce the bezels around the display, Meizu had to remove the mechanical mBack button. There are two ways to navigate the device: the on-screen Super mBack button in the form of a ring and the standard 3 Android navigation buttons.
The area where the Super mBack ring is located was made pressure-sensitive (something similar to 3D Touch technology). It is controlled similarly to the mechanical mBack.

## Reception

A reviewer from the information portal ITC.ua gave the Meizu M6s a score of 4 out of 5. He attributed the lack of NFC and Type-C, display color rendering and nuances of Flyme OS to the disadvantages. The reviewer attributed the design, screen with a 2 to 1 aspect ratio, original control scheme, fast fingerprint scanner, updated platform, decent cameras and fast charging to the advantages.
A reviewer from Pingvin.Pro gave the smartphone a score of 5.7 out of 10. He attributed the metal body, appearance, processor, dimensions, screen, cameras and battery life to the advantages of the smartphone. He attributed the power button, fingerprint scanner placement, microUSB, firmware, memory speed and graphics to the disadvantages.
