Meizu‘s president Jack Wang has been an ardent apostle of smartphones having symmetrical designs on smartphones. That is the reason why despite the notch design trend which has been deployed to trim down the bezels and deliver full-screen designs by OEMs, Meizu has stayed off using the design. Whether the decision not to join the design trend is for the best interest of the company or not is a debate for another day. What interests us now is speculation that the Chinese company may continue its perfectly symmetrical design on the Meizu 17. A leaked render said to be of the Meizu 17 points in this direction. 
The render shows the Meizu 17 will retain the slim bezels used on the Meizu 16 series. Just that this time around, the top and bottom bezels will be trimmed down further to almost the same size as the side bezels. This means we’ll be seeing a higher screen ratio on the 17. The screen will also be curved slightly at the sides.

The Meizu 17 will retain the micro-slot earpiece design on the Meizu 16 series. Also, of interest is the front camera which still finds its way into the slim bezel at the top edge, tucked into the upper right corner. Since the available space is quite small, Meizu would need to use a sensor with a smaller size. At present, the only sensor that fits the description is Samsung’s new 43.7MP ISOCELL slim GH1 image sensor which has a single pixel size of only 0.7μm.
In addition, according to the previous leaks, Meizu 17 will likely come with a triple rear camera setup. The main camera is likely Samsung’s 64MP sensor. There is no much detail about the Meizu 17 at the moment but we expect more to emerge a the day roll by.
The phone will no doubt be a beauty to behold just like the Meizu 16S Pro. Perhaps, you should check out to Meizu 16S Pro hands-on post to appreciate the sleekness of Meizu’s latest flagship.
