Meizu has started teasing its next flagship phone, the Meizu 22, in China. The teaser gives the first look at the amazing front design of the device. Here’s a look at everything known about the device so far.
Meizu 22 front design revealed
According to the brand, the Meizu 22 is aiming to break the record for the world’s narrowest symmetrical bezels, with all four sides reportedly measuring just 1.2mm. But this is not just about reducing bezel size. The real challenge is achieving such a slim frame with a white front panel, which is notoriously difficult to produce at high quality. While the exact screen size has not been confirmed, the phone is expected to feature a compact form factor that supports comfortable one-handed use.
The brand said that the industry has often avoided white panels on phones with slim bezels due to significant drops in manufacturing yield. Despite that, Meizu has insisted on sticking to the white front design, calling it an integral part of its brand identity since the MX2.
To reach this milestone, Meizu’s R&D team developed an in-house LIPO process and adopted a six-layer treatment method. This pursuit has come at the cost of higher failure rates during trial runs, but Meizu claims to be nearing its target.
The Meizu 22 is said to have the M582Q model number, as per the CMIIT listing. This model is expected to house a single-cell 5370mAh battery (typical capacity: 5,500mAh). It is also expected to feature the Snapdragon 8 Elite Leading Version chip and a periscope telephoto camera.
At an event in May, the company had promised to revamp its image quality game entirely, starting with this series. Meizu is also doing away with the traditional “Pro” or “Standard” naming, instead planning a unique lineup within the Meizu 22 universe.
