Meizu went officially with the affordable and premium mid-range Meizu Note 9 today in China. The device happens to be the second model after the Redmi note 7 Pro to feature Qualcomm’s latest Snapdragon 675 chipset. until recently, Meizu phones hardly feature Qualcomm chipset so the Meizu Note 9 is a special phone. This is the most powerful Qualcomm chipset we’ve seen on a Meizu phone since the company settled its dispute with the US chipmaker. Meizu Note 9

On AnTuTu, the Meizu Note 9 recorded a lofty score of 180,381 which is pretty impressive for a mid-range model. The score is even higher than the AnTuTu score which the Snapdragon 675 posted when it was benchmarked a few months back. Back in January, AnTuTu posted a score of 174,402 points for the SD675. Thus, this new score is plain surprising. Meizu Note 9 ANTuTu score

We can’t tell why the score is higher now but it is possible the SD675 chipset onboard the Meizu Note 9 is clocked at the highest frequency. The Snapdragon 675 chipset is surprisingly more powerful than the Snapdragon 710 which had an AnTuTu score of 170K. It is equally more powerful than the Snapdragon 670 SoC which managed to score 150,000 points. In addition, Meizu’s Hyper Gaming technology for optimized gaming experience through GPU acceleration is also on the Note 9. This may also be responsible for the higher benchmark score.
