Meizu has officially launched its latest flagship, the Meizu 22, alongside its updated Flyme AIOS ecosystem. The phone sees the light of day after several delays, as it was originally planned to launch in August.
It weighs 190 grams and is 8.15mm thick, featuring a 2.5D micro-arc front and a slim 1.2mm four-sided bezel. The company describes the body as a 50:50 balanced design, meant to feel symmetrical in the hand. There’s also an independent AI button, which Meizu says can launch over 20 different shortcut actions with a single press.
Meizu 22 Specifications
On the front, the Meizu 22 is equipped with a 6.3-inch display at 1.5K resolution. It supports a 1–120Hz adaptive refresh rate, peak brightness up to 6000 nits, and covers the full DCI-P3 color gamut.
The panel integrates “RuRan Eye Protection Technology,” which combines hardware-level low blue light and DC dimming for reduced eye strain. The design includes a micro-arc 2.5D front glass and a narrow 1.2mm border on all sides.
The phone has four cameras in total, three on the back and one on the front. It includes:
- 50MP wide-angle (OV50H, 1/1.3-inch sensor, f/1.68, OIS)
- 50MP 3x periscope telephoto (Sony IMX882, OIS, 15cm tele-macro)
- 50MP ultra-wide (OV50D, 122° FoV, f/2.0, 2.5cm macro)
- 50MP selfie camera (OV50D, AI face rejuvenation, HDR for backlit selfies)
Under the hood, the Meizu 22 runs on Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 8s Gen 4 chip, cooled by a 4500mm² VC liquid cooling system. Powering it all is a 5,500mAh battery, with 80W wired charging and 66W wireless charging.
The software experience is driven by Flyme AIOS 2, which brings AI features like AI drawing, AI filters, pedestrian removal, glare reduction, and moiré removal. Small Window Mode 5.0, Game Assistant, and Smart Travel are also baked in.
For car owners, Flyme Auto 2 provides deeper integration with Meizu’s ecosystem, while Flyme Link handles device-to-car connectivity.
Furthermore, the Meizu 22 comes with a linear vibration motor, infrared remote functions, UWB digital key support, and IP66/IP68 water and dust resistance. However, not all models are equal in connectivity. Only the top-tier 16GB + 1TB variant supports UWB, USB 3.2, and DisplayPort 1.2 output. All other versions are limited to USB 2.0 speeds (480Mbps), which is a notable downgrade compared to many rivals in this price range.
The phone also uses a multi-antenna system, including quad-antenna MIMO technology, to improve network performance.
Limited Edition details
The Meizu 22 is also available in a Homecoming: China Flagship Limited Edition. It ships with a custom UI inspired by aircraft carrier themes, a back cover with fleet-style patterns, and additional accessories. Buyers also receive a customized power adapter, SIM ejector tool, and metal plaques featuring the Fujian aircraft carrier and the J35 fighter jet.
