Meizu is expected to launch the Meizu 15, 15 Plus and 15 Lite smartphones in April. The founder of Meizu Huang Zhang has recently claimed that the Meizu 16 series will launch around August this year.

Without revealing information on the specs of the Meizu 16 series, Zhang stated that the Meizu 15’s successor will be a futuristic device. It seems that the founder is himself overseeing the manufacturing of the Meizu 16 series.

It is pegged to arrive with a pricing of 2,999 Yuan. So, it may not feature the SD845 chip.
