The first time we heard of the Meizu 16s Pro was in early July when a listing was spotted on Taobao. The attached image showed the phone will have triple rear cameras and an in-display fingerprint scanner. Now, a photo of the purchase page from the official Meizu website has surfaced online, revealing more details.
Starting with the design of the phone, the design is similar to that of the Meizu 16s. The bezels seem to be of the same thickness. The slit for the earpiece is shorter and the hole for the front-facing camera looks smaller but it might just be as a result of the perspective the image was taken.
On the back, there are three rear cameras arranged vertically in a single housing while the ring-styled LED flash sits below the setup. The color variant in the image is called Pearl White, unlike the Taobao listing which shows a blue variant. The page doesn’t have any other variant but we doubt Meizu will release only one color variant.
The photo reveals the Meizu 16s Pro has a 48MP AI triple rear cameras and packs a 4010mAh battery, an increase of 410mAh over that of the Meizu 16s’ battery capacity. We don’t know what type of the lens the third camera sensor is but seeing as ultrawide angle cameras are the trend among triple camera phones, this will most likely be the one Meizu goes with.
The phone will also come with OneMind 3.0 and run Flyme 8 out of the box which should be based on Android 9 Pie.
The selected version of the Meizu 16s Pro has 12GB of RAM and 512GB of storage with a price tag of ¥3699 (~$524). There is also a 12GB RAM + 256GB version but the price is unknown.
We don’t know the processor under the hood but it is either the Snapdragon 855 or the Snapdragon 855 Plus processor.
Meizu has an announcement tomorrow. There are speculations it is for the Flyme 8, the latest version of its custom UI for its phones. However, we haven’t seen any post teasing the launch of a new phone, so the possibility that tomorrow’s event is for the Meizu 16s Pro is slim.
