China is known for pushing innovations in consumer electronics, especially in the smartphone segment. So as we near a new year, we’ve made a list of 3 Chinese smartphones that are quite unique. This could be in the design department or even some cool new features. So let’s check them out.
1. Meizu Lucky 08
Meizu is known for launching smartphones with sleek and attractive designs with the Lucky 08 being no different. While it is a mid range model, it has a very interesting design that includes what Meizu calls a Star Track camera system. The Chinese brand is also going big on Artificial Intelligence. Meizu’s Flyme AIOS arrives with various smart features like automatic call answering, call summarization, and AI powered shopping assistant.
Although, its design is easily one of the highlights.

Some notable features include the Snapdragon 7s Gen 2 SoC, massive 6,000mAh battery, 108MP main rear camera that is orbited by a 2MP macro shooter, and 5000 nits of peak brightness.
2. Nubia Neo 2
Nubia is known for its gaming smartphones and the Neo 2 is one such model that debuted earlier this year.
