Meizu is no longer a known name in the smartphone industry. However, the company is still alive and has been releasing its annual flagships in its home market China, except last year.
The firm was acquired by Geely in 2022. Following the acquisition, the new owner confirmed that the brand will release a new premium smartphone lineup in 2023.
As promised, the company has scheduled a launch event for this week to introduce its latest flagship smartphones — Meizu 20 series.
For the unaware, the Meizu 18 series is the company’s last premium smartphone lineup. It was released in 2021. Since there wasn’t a successor in 2022, the brand has skipped the Meizu 19 moniker.
With that out of the way, let’s take a look at everything that’s known about the upcoming Meizu handsets.
Meizu 20 Series Launch Date
The Meizu 20 series is set to launch in China on March 30. The press conference will begin at 7:30 PM GMT+8.
The event will be live-streamed on Weibo and other leading Chinese video streaming platforms.
Meizu 20 Series Design
The Meizu 20 series borrows designs from both the Samsung Galaxy S series and the Apple iPhones. It has a flat frame like the iPhones and features a camera layout similar to the Galaxies.
The handsets are expected to arrive in at least two colors, such as white and gold. There could be other hue options as well.
Meizu 20 Series Specifications
The Meizu 20 lineup is said to include two devices, namely Meizu 20 and Meizu 20 Pro. Both of them are expected to be powered by a Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 chipset paired with LPDDR5x RAM and UFS 4.0 storage.
The phones are also tipped to sport 10-bit HDR-enabled OLED displays with up to a 120Hz refresh rate. The pro model will not only have a larger panel but it will also support LTPO technology.
Not much is not known about the cameras, except that the Meizu 20 Pro will flaunt a 1-inch Sony IMX989 sensor, like the rest of the Chinese flagship smartphones from Xiaomi, Oppo, and Vivo.
On the software front, the phones will boot Flyme 10 based on Android 13. Last but not least, the Meizu 20 Pro will draw energy from a 5,000mAh battery and will carry support for 80W wired charging and 50W wireless charging.
Meizu 20 Series Expected Price
The Meizu 20 series may cost between ¥4,000 (~$580) and ¥6,000 (~$870). We wouldn’t be surprised if it costs more than this, given the current economic situation.
