In November, Meizu launched the Meizu 21 flagship smartphone in China. While it typically introduces a Pro version alongside the standard model, equipped with a larger screen and bigger battery, the Meizu 21 Pro was noticeably absent during the initial announcement. However, a recent development indicates that the Pro variant has secured approval from China’s Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, suggesting an imminent release.

Meizu 21 Pro receives MIIT certification

Two new Meizu models, bearing the model numbers M481Q and M481S, have recently received clearance from the CMIIT authority, as evidenced by the screenshots above. These models are believed to be variants of the upcoming Meizu 21 Pro. While these listings suggest an imminent launch in China, they remain tight-lipped about the device’s specifications.

The Meizu 21 Pro will likely come equipped with the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 chipset, which also powers the standard model. There is a high possibility that the device will feature a bigger 2K resolution display as the Meizu 21 has a 6.55-inch AMOLED panel that offers a 1.5K resolution.

The Meizu 21 has a 4,800mAh battery with 80W charging. The 21 Pro may likely house a bigger 5,020mAh battery with 80W wired and 50W wireless charging support.

The Meizu 20 Pro came with three 50-megapixel rear-facing cameras, one of which was a telephoto camera with optical zoom support. While the Meizu 21 lacks a telephoto camera, the Pro variant may come equipped with it.

It is unclear whether the Meizu 21 Pro will debut within this month in China. If it does not happen, it may debut in January 2024.Top of Form
