On Nov. 30, Meizu unveiled the Meizu 21 smartphone in China. After the Redmi K70 Pro, which starts at 3,299 Yuan (~$465), the Meizu 21 is the most affordable phone equipped with the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 chip. After making it available for purchase, Meizu confirmed that the Meizu 21 achieved remarkable success in its initial sales, surpassing the impressive milestone of 100 million Yuan in just one second across all sales channels.

While it revealed what kind of market response the Meizu 21 received in its first sale, it did not mention the number of units sold. However, considering that the Meizu 21’s base variant is priced at 3,399 Yuan (~$479) and its highest edition costs 3,999 (~$465), it appears that the brand may have sold 25,000 to 29,440 units of the smartphone.
