Meizu is a Chinese smartphone manufacturer that has been in the business for quite some time but isn’t as popular as other firms (Xiaomi, OPPO, just to name a few) from the country. Also, it has been a long time since we saw a Meizu flagship— the last one was released way back in 2019. That’s about to change as the company is now gearing up to bring the Meizu 20 smartphone. There may also be a Pro model, at least that’s what a new leaked image suggests.

A tipster has shared a hands-on image of the alleged Meizu 20 Pro on Weibo. The image shows the smartphone with a curved back and an interesting camera module. There are at least three camera sensors and one mysterious black bar. We can’t help but notice that the camera arrangement looks like a disapproval emoticon (:|).

The text on the camera island suggests the Meizu 20 Pro uses a 1-inch 50MP Sony sensor. This is likely the Sony IMX989 sensor found on the Xiaomi 12S Ultra and Xiaomi 12 Pro. We are not sure what’s the purpose of the black bar on the module. It could feature some sort of sensor or maybe it’s there due to aesthetic reasons.

Details about the Meizu 20 series smartphones as pretty scarce at the moment. Previously, patent images of the vanilla model surfaced online, revealing a Galaxy S23-like design with an additional ring on the back. In addition, a Geekbench listing revealed the Meizu 20 will be equipped with the latest Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 SoC under the hood. The Pro model could also feature the same chipset.
