Normally, Meizu releases its flagship phones in pairs, offering both a standard model and a Pro variant. This pattern held true in the previous year with the launch of the Meizu 20 series in March, which included the Meizu 20 and the Meizu 20 Pro. However, Meizu deviated from its usual dual-release strategy in December 2023 by introducing only the Meizu 21. The absence of a Pro model fueled speculation that the company might be abandoning the Pro line altogether. But recent developments suggest that the Meizu 21 Pro could be just around the corner, potentially arriving within a few weeks.
Meizu 21 Pro 3C certification
Last month, two Meizu devices bearing model numbers, such as M481Q and M481S, were approved by China’s MIIT certification platform. It is speculated that both model numbers are associated with the Meizu 21 Pro. The same models have now emerged in the database of the country’s 3C certification.
The 3C certification of the alleged Meizu 21 Pro reveals that it may ship with an 80W fast charger. The power brick (UP2040) mentioned in the certification suggests similar fast-charging capabilities to the Meizu 21, making the Meizu 21 Pro likely to support 80W wired charging. Being a Pro model, it may also arrive with support for 50W wireless charging.
The rumor mill is yet to reveal concrete details about the Meizu 21 Pro. However, the device will likely be equipped with a larger display than the Meizu 21, which is equipped with a 6.55-inch AMOLED screen. The Pro variant’s display may support a 2K resolution. Like the standard model, the Pro variant is expected to feature the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 chipset.
A recent report revealed that the Meizu 21 Pro may house a 5,020mAh battery, which will be larger than the Meizu 21’s 4,800mAh battery. In addition, the Pro variant’s rear camera module may include a telephoto or a periscope telephoto camera.
