Official teasers released by Meizu back in March confirmed that it would unveil the Meizu Note 16 series of smartphones in April in China. However, recent reports have suggested that its arrival has been delayed to May. Now, live shots of the device, along with key specifications, have emerged on Weibo. Here’s a look at what to expect from the device.
Meizu Note 16 design
Starting with the design of the Meizu Note 16, the live image reveals a flat display on the front and an octagonal-shaped camera island with a gold finish. The rest of the back panel features a plain orange leather texture. The design seems to take inspiration from the flagship styling of the Honor Magic 7 series. Although the image gives the impression of a triple-camera setup with a ring-shaped LED flash, the Meizu Note 16 actually features only a dual-camera system.
Meizu Note 16 specifications (rumored)
The leak reveals that the Meizu Note 16 will feature a 6.78-inch LCD panel that offers an FHD+ resolution of 2460 x 1080 pixels. On the front, it will feature an 8-megapixel camera for selfies and video calls.
The rear camera setup features a 50-megapixel primary camera and a 2-megapixel auxiliary lens. The device runs on Android 15 with a layer of Flyme 12 AI OS on top.
Under the hood, the Meizu Note 16 has the Unisoc T765, a 5G-enabled chipset. It is equipped with 12 GB of RAM and 256 GB of bult-in storage. It packs a 6,550mAh battery with 40W fast charging. Overall, it feels like it belongs to the 999 Yuan (~$140) price range.
Considering this design and these specifications, it is difficult to understand why Meizu delayed its arrival. Now that Meizu is part of DreamSmart Meizu, a Geely-backed smartphone company. For Geely, Flyme’s importance lies more in enhancing in-car experiences than in supporting Meizu’s mobile business.
