Earlier today, Meizu announced its new value for money flagship, the Meizu 16T in China featuring Snapdragon 855 and triple cameras. At the flagship conference, the company revealed that the Meizu 16T comes with a TÜV Rheinland’s low blue light certification.
However, to everyone’s surprise, right after the Meizu conference, TÜV Rheinland released a statement saying that the phone wasn’t tested or certified by their organization. Apart from distancing themselves from Meizu 16T, the company further added that it would take relevant legal measures to deal with this issue.
Did Meizu really lie about TÜV Rheinland certification?
We haven’t yet heard from Meizu about this certification issue, but it is being said that the Super AMOLED panel used by the 16T is actually TÜV Rheinland certified. Meizu didn’t send the phone for independent certification to the organization, which is why they claim Meizu isn’t allowed market the 16T as TÜV Rheinland certified.
Whatever the case, we should see some kind of statement from Meizu clarifying the issue very soon. The company may decide to remove TÜV Rheinland’s logo and certification details from its marketing materials. Or else, it could send the phone to the organization and pay the necessary fees for certifying it.
