Rumors surrounding the Meizu 17 have revealed that it could be accompanied by a more advanced model called the Meizu 17 Pro.

Earlier this month, the Meizu 17 that has a model number of M081Q had bagged 3C certification. It had reveled that the phone may ship with a 30W fast charger. Hence, it appears that the M091Q phone could be the rumored Meizu 17 Pro handset that may arrive with 40W rapid charging technology.
The Snapdragon 855+ powered Meizu 16s Pro flagship phone from last year had arrived with 24W mCharge technology. Various Chinese smartphone OEMs are offering phones with faster charging capabilities. The new 3C listings reveal that Meizu too will offer enhanced charging speeds on the upcoming Meizu 17 5G series.
Meizu is yet to reveal the specifications of the Meizu 17 5G series. Both phones are expected to be powered by the Snapdragon 865 mobile platform and punch-hole display. At present, there is no information available on how the Meizu 17 Pro phone will differ from the Meizu 17 handset. It is speculated that the Chinese firm may also announce Meizu 17 Audio Special Edition smartphone alongside the Meizu 17 and 17 Pro.
