Meizu’s CEO Huang Zhang (Jack Wong) has always been very opinionated when it comes to smartphone designs, especially dissing the present trending styles of notch screen, waterdrop and even the in-hole design. The company’s founder has instead insisted the symmetrical design which involves just trimming the bezels with space wide enough to accommodate the selfie camera. That seems to be the design the upcoming Meizu 16s will feature.
A fan recently posted a fan-made render of the Meizu 16s on the Meizu community forum and the render caught the attention of the CEO who indeed confirmed the Meizu 16s design is not very much different from the render. Huang Zhang then threw more light on the efforts the company will make to further trim the bezels on the chin and top aspect of the display. Among other things, he hinted that most phones come with left and right border sizes of 3.5mm. This is smaller than the iPhone X’s which is over 4mm while the chin is 4.7mm. Mot phones have a chin size of more than 6mm as this is the aspect where the antenna is located and also to enable the screen to be fixed firmly to the frame of the phone. However, the Meizu 16s chin may also be over 5.Xmm since the antenna will run through that part for better reception. However, the CEO hinted that the company may decide to extend the antenna to the left and right border which may make them wider. However, Huang Zhang isn’t really up for that design but to make the bezels on the chin the narrowest and then make the upper bezels close to the width of the chin.

According to earlier details, the Meizu 16s series will be among the first set of models that will use a Snapdragon 855 chipset and the price will certainly be higher than the current models.
