Along with the launch of the Meizu Pro 5 flagship, the company also launched mini routers in two versions that are priced at 99 Yuan and 169 Yuan. The basic version is designed for a 2.4GHz WiFi while the more advanced pro version supports 5GHz WiFi connectivity. The home router has a sparkling white housing from a simple round design made by a double injection molding process. Purchasing the Meizu Mini router can be obtained at a discount of 69 and 119 Yuan when bought in a bundle package with a Meizu phones.

The plug on the rear offers a 2 pin connection to be directly connected to a wall outlet. The router also includes WiFi 802.11ac features at a maximum speed of 433Mbps. Both versions of the router have concealed built-in FPC flexible antennas and connection is achieved via a dedicated Meizu application. The Mini Router is equipped with dual band high performance MT7628AN processor clocked at 2.4GHz or with MT7610E processor clocked at 5GHz.

Overall, competent products, but it will be interesting to see if the router manages to threaten the current No.1 position of the Mi router in the smart home router segment.
