According to an official announcement from Meizu, the Meizu 22 will be formally introduced in August. The company has started accepting pre-orders across online and offline platforms. The announcement also coincided with a live hands-on demo of the device at the ChinaJoy 2025 expo, which is being held from August 1 to 4.
Meizu 22: Compact design with industry-first ultra-narrow bezels
Meizu is positioning the Meizu 22 as a pro-level compact flagship, featuring a 6.3-inch display with a design goal of achieving 1.22mm symmetrical bezels on all four sides. According to the brand, this is made possible through its in-house LIPO technology. The team reportedly focused on enhancing the in-hand feel, aiming to deliver what it claims is the narrowest physical four-sided bezel on a smartphone to date.
In an added design twist, the phone will come with a white front panel, a challenging aesthetic to pull off with such narrow bezels. This combination is meant to appeal to users who appreciate minimal bezels without compromising on visual clarity or touch accuracy.
The Meizu 22 will also be the company’s first phone to feature a periscope telephoto camera, suggesting serious efforts towards improved mobile photography. Meizu has indicated it will not cut corners when it comes to camera investment for the 22 series.
The Meizu 22 is expected to come equipped with the Snapdragon 8 Elite. Also, the brand recently confirmed that it has no plans to launch as Meizu 22 Pro as the standard model can deliver pro-level performance.
At the ChinaJoy expo, Meizu held a “first feel” event with four dummy units labelled A to D. Only one represents the final design. Attendees were invited to guess which was real. However, some tech bloggers suggested that all the dummy models resemble devices already launched by other brands, expressing scepticism about whether the final product will stand out in a crowded market.
