Foldable smartphones have been making waves in the tech industry over the past few years, with several major brands launching their own models. Recently, OnePlus announced its plan to launch a folding screen device later this year. And today, it has been reported Meizu, a Chinese electronics company, is the latest to join the trend, announcing it wants to release its first foldable smartphone by the end of 2023.
Meizu’s Executive Vice President, Huang Zhipan, has reportedly announced that the company will be releasing its first foldable smartphone by the end of 2023. While no further details about the product have been disclosed, the introduction of a foldable smartphone to Meizu’s product line is expected to offer consumers more diverse options to choose from.
Meizu has primarily focused on producing smartphones and portable accessories in the past, but the brand’s smartphone business has been relatively quiet recently. The company’s last major smartphone release, the Meizu 18, was introduced in 2021. However, Meizu is now preparing to launch a new flagship series, known as the Meizu 20.
Meizu 20 lineup should include two smartphones— Meizu 20 and Meizu 20 Pro. It has been reported that the Pro models will arrive with a 10-bit Samsung E6 LTPO AMOLED display that will offer 1440p resolution and 120hz refresh rate. It could feature a 50MP primary camera with OIS, and be fueled by a 5,000 mAh battery with support for 50W wireless and 80W wired charging.
Additionally, the Meizu 20 Pro has been also spotted on AnTuTu with the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 SoC, Android 13, 12GB RAM, and 512GB storage. Currently, the launch date of the new series has not been revealed. The lineup could arrive in Spring this year.
