Meizu finally announced the product it has been teasing today. The new device is a special edition Meizu 16 Plus made in partnership with Astel&Kern and Jerry Harvey Audio.

The special edition set includes an Aurora Blue Meizu 16 Plus (8GB RAM + 128GB of storage), an Astell&Kern XB10 DAC+AMP, and a pair of Astell&Kern Billie Jean In-Ear-Monitors (IEM) which has Jerry Harvey’s freqphase® technology from Jerry Harvey Audio.

The whole set costs ¥4598 (~$679), much cheaper than the ¥6999 (~$1033) price tag we saw from a few days ago. If you were to purchase the items in the bundle separately, you will be spending much more than $679. The Aurora Blue Meizu 16 Plus costs ¥3298 (~$487), the Astell&Kern XB10 is priced at $129 currently and the Billie Jean IEM is $349. That is a total of $965!

The Astell&Kern XB10 is shaped like a hockey puck. It brings 24bit/48kHz high-quality wireless audio thanks to the Meizu 16 Plus’ support for Qualcomm’s aptX HD and also has a DAC and AMP built-in. You can plug in the Billie Jean IEM into the 3.5mm audio jack on the side. It also has a 2.5mm connector.

The Billie Jean IEM is the first dual driver Universel fit IEM. There is a high-driver and a full range driver for mids and lows. Its cables are actually silver-plated copper which is then wrapped around kevlar or strength. The IEM actually comes in two colors – blue and red but the Meizu 16 Plus Sound Color Set ships with the red variant.

You can pick up the limited edition set on Meizu’s own online store or on Tmall.

Getting an affordable phone which provides the highest performance or a high-end camera quality is always very hard, even in 2018. But there are three phones which we can define champions of quality-price ratio: Oppo R17 Pro, Honor Magic 2 and Meizu 16 Plus. They are outstanding and they are able to boast flagship-level performances as well as incredibly fast charging times. Here is a complete specs comparison.

Oppo R17 Pro vs Honor Magic 2 vs Meizu 16 Plus

Design

Honor Magic 2 has the most innovative and surprising design of 2018. It is a slider phone: in order to reach a screen-to-body ratio close to 100 percent without a notch, Huawei decided to put the front cameras and sensors on a slider which the user can manually open and close. There is an under-display fingerprint scanner as well, so the back side looks almost totally clean too. Oppo R17 Pro has a stunning design as well with its waterdrop notch and gradient colors, but Honor Magic 2 is definitely one step forward.

Display

The display is the weakest point of Oppo R17 Pro, Honor Magic 2 and Meizu 16 Plus, as they all feature a midrange-class panel. The one providing the best display quality is Honor Magic 2 with the AMOLED technology, 100 percent of DCI-P3 coverage and almost no bezels. But note that Oppo R17 Pro has the most resistant one because it is protected by Gorilla Glass 6. At last, Meizu 16 Plus has the widest panel and it does not feature a notch, so it is perfect for you if you want a comfortable device for productivity.

Hardware & Software

Huawei Honor Magic 2 has a more powerful chipset: a Kirin 980 running at a max frequency of 2.6 GHz. It is very impressive when it comes to speed and multi-tasking performance. It is followed by Meizu 16 Plus and its Qualcomm Snapdragon 845, while Oppo R17 Pro has just an upper-midrange SoC: the Snapdragon 710. Honor Magic 2 comes with Android Pie out of the box, while Oppo R17 Pro and Meizu 16 Plus are still based on Oreo.

Camera

The most surprising rear camera is undoubtedly the one found on the Oppo R17 Pro. It sports a triple camera setup with variable aperture just like the Samsung Galaxy S9 Plus and Note 9, in order to adapt in a much better way to every light condition. On the other hand, Honor Magic 2 has a definitely more interesting front setup as it features a triple camera on the front with two depth sensors.

Battery

Oppo R17 Pro has one of the most interesting battery sides in the market, not only because it has a big lithium unit with a 3700 mAh capacity, but also because it is the last-generation smartphone with the fastest charging times. It takes just 30 minutes to charge it up to 92 percent. Honor Magic 2 and Meizu 16 Plus are among the fastest as well as they reach 82 percent and 60 percent respectively (in 30 minutes of charge). But they have a smaller battery and they last less time on a single charge.

Price

Oppo R17 Pro debuted in the global market under the name RX17 Pro with a price tag of €600, Honor Magic 2 was launched with a €550 price tag in China and Meizu 16 Plus carries a €480 starting price in China. Even though it does not have a flagship chipset, I would prefer Oppo R17 Pro to the Meizu 16 Plus because of its amazing camera and its quick charging times. But overall, I would personally pick Honor Magic 2 to award its innovation, good camera setup and performance, as well as its very balanced specifications.

2018 is the year of aesthetical innovation in the smartphones market, and the newly-announced Xiaomi Mi Mix 3 is a perfect example of it. But the device which started this trend in 2018 is Vivo NEX S with its pop up front camera. In this comparison, we will compare Xiaomi Mi Mix 3, Vivo NEX S and, given its quality-price ratio, another device from another Chinese company which is trying to conquer the affordable flagships sector: Meizu 16 Plus.

Xiaomi Mi Mix 3 vs Vivo NEX S vs Meizu 16 Plus

Design

As it features the highest screen-to-body ratio and it has the first pop up camera in the market, as well as the thinnest design, I think that Vivo NEX S wins the design comparison. It is a definitely more attractive device, even though there are only marginal differences between it and Xiaomi Mi Mix 3. The only disadvantage is represented by its bigger dimensions, but it also has a bigger display.

Display

Talking about the display, I would pick the Xiaomi Mi Mix 3 for a simple reason: if we base on the specs on the paper, it should provide a better color reproduction. Why? Simple: because it boasts the HDR technology. On the other hand, Meizu 16 Plus has the biggest screen which is very useful for productivity and games.

Hardware/Software

Given that all of these devices feature a powerful Qualcomm Snapdragon 845 chipset under the hood, the only important difference between their hardware sides is represented by memory configurations. And on this aspect, Xiaomi Mi Mix 3 is the winner as it is available with up to 10 GB of RAM and up to 512 GB of internal storage. The internal storage may be even more important than you expected as these phones do not feature a micro SD slot to expand it.

Camera

The cameras which should provide the best overall performance should be the ones of Xiaomi Mi Mix 3. It features 4-axis OIS on the rear side and even a dual camera on the front side: the most impressive setup of the trio. The second place is for Meizu 16 Plus featuring OIS, laser autofocus and a six-LED flash on the back.

Battery

Vivo NEX S has the biggest battery with a capacity of 4000 mAh, even though it is not the thickest phone. And it also provides a way longer battery life than its opponents. Xiaomi Mi Mix 3 is disappointing with just 3200 mAh (but it is the only one which can be charged wirelessly), while Meizu 16 Plus sits in the middle.

Price

The launch price of Xiaomi Mi Mix 3 is about $571/€500, Meizu 16 Plus starts from $548/€480 and Vivo NEX S starts from $800/€700. The best value for money phone is definitely Xiaomi Mi Mix 3 because of its price and its outstanding camera performance, but overall I like Vivo NEX S slightly more because of its bigger battery.

DxOMark, a popular camera benchmarking platform is known for ranking smartphone according to their camera benchmark scores. A leaked photo of Dx0Mark scores of several unannounced smartphones such as OnePlus 6T, Huawei Mate 20 Pro, and Google Pixel 3 have surfaced on Weibo.

As it can be seen on the left side of the below image, the unreleased Mate 20 Pro is leading the pack with 116 score. The next unannounced on the list is the Google Pixel 3 with a score of 107. The Mate 20 is also mentioned below with the same score.

The Sony Xperia XZ2 Premium, Apple iPhone Xs Max, iPhone Xs, Meizu 16th Plus and the unannounced Honor V20 follows the Mate 20 in the list. The iPhone Xr and OnePlus 6T are also present on the list with respective scores of 100 and 99. The benchmarking reports of these phones are yet to appear on the website of Dx0Mark. There is a high possibility that the above leak nothing but fake.

A DxOMark score is a combination of photography and video recording scores. The the current ranking of smartphones according to their DxOMark scores is shown on the right side in the above image. The Huawei P20 Pro with its triple camera setup as at the numero uno position with 109 score. The HTC U12+ and Samsung Galaxy Note 9 are on second and third positions with respective scores of 103. As it can be seen, the newly released smartphones such as the new iPhones, Xperia XZ2 Premium, Meizu 16th Plus have not appeared on the list yet.

Since the leaked photo showing the DxOMark scores of unannounced and newly released phones appears fake, it remains to be seen how highly awaited phones like OnePlus 6T and Mate 20 Pro will rank on the list.

Xiaomi decided to launch the Mi 8 Explorer Edition in the global market as the Mi 8 Pro in new color variants: another flagship is now in the shelves with the most powerful hardware you can expect in 2018. In the same price range, we believe that Meizu 16 Plus and OnePlus 6 are the best Chinese flagships you can currently get besides this new handset, so we decided to compare them to understand which would be the best choice for consumers. After reading the comparison, you can let us know if you agree or not by using the comment box below.

Xiaomi Mi 8 Pro vs Meizu 16 Plus vs OnePlus 6

Design

For Xiaomi, Meizu and OnePlus, these flagships are a big step forward in terms of aesthetics. Indeed, Meizu 16 Plus and OnePlus 6 are the first flagships from the companies to sport an elegant glass back and, as you know, glass backs are the most common choice for premium designs. But the winner is Xiaomi Mi 8 Pro with the most impressive design: it is the only last-gen smartphone to come with a transparent back thanks to which you can see internal components from the outside. And if you do not like it, there is also a stunning gradient hue.

Display

All of these handsets pack wonderful AMOLED displays and a Full HD+ resolution. So you will get a stunning viewing quality in each case. Judging from the specs on the paper, Xiaomi Mi 8 Pro may offer a slightly better viewing quality thanks to the HDR10 technology making colors richer. But the one I would pick is the Meizu 16 Plus due to its huge 6.5-inch display without notch. A so big display is hard to find on a so powerful flagship and this is enough to award Meizu 16 Plus. But obviously, if you do not like big phablets, go for the Mi 8 Pro.

Specs & Software

These devices are three smartphones with the most powerful hardware department launched in 2018. They all have the octa-core Snapdragon 845 SoC which is the best Qualcomm’s chipset, and it is paired with up to 8 GB of RAM. So all of them deliver blazing speeds and a limitless multi-tasking experience. It is a draw under this point of view, but note that Meizu 16 Plus and Xiaomi Mi 8 Pro come with 128 GB of internal storage in its base variant, while OP6 starts from 64 GB.

Camera

We did not try to click a photo with the Xiaomi Mi 8 Pro, but given that it has the same camera department as the original Mi 8, it will provide the same photo and video quality. A quality which makes us put this phone in the first place of this trio, as this device can shoot detailed photos with rich colors in every light condition and the stabilization works greatly. But Meizu 16 Plus and OnePlus 6 are still stunning camera phones, so even if you choose them you do not make a bad choice.

Battery

Given that it has a bigger size, Meizu 16 Plus also has the biggest battery. And it surely lasts more than both Xiaomi Mi 8 Pro and OnePlus 6. It can also charged very quickly thanks to the proprietary mCharge 4.0 technology.

Price

All of these handsets are very affordable flagships if we compare it with the concurrency. Xiaomi Mi 8 Pro starts from just $470/€400 (6/128 GB configuration), Meizu 16 Plus starts from exactly the same price in the same base configuration, while OnePlus 6 starts from $519/€519 in the 6/64 GB variant. With the actual prices, in my opinion, Meizu 16 Plus is the king for productivity and advanced users, but if you prefer the design and cameras you should go for the Mi 8 Pro.

If you pre-ordered the Meizu 16 (or Meizu 16 Plus) from the official Meizu store, there is a chance you must have received a mail from the manufacturer. The mail is actually an official apology from the manufacturer.

The apology is for a delay in the delivery of all Meizu 16 (and 16 Plus) orders. According to Meizu, they underestimated the popularity of both phones hence the need to have to delay shipment. The duration of the delay ranges from one week to four weeks depending on the model and configuration.

Those who ordered the 6GB RAM + 64GB model of the Meizu 16 in black or white will have to wait an extra week. Those who ordered the 6GB RAM + 128GB white version will have to wait for an extra two to three weeks.

For those who ordered the white Meizu 16 Plus with 6GB of RAM and 128GB of storage, they have to wait for an extra two to four weeks. Lastly, orders made for the white Meizu 16 Plus 8GB RAM + 128GB will be delayed by between one to four weeks.

Meizu says those who wish to get a refund can apply for one and they will ensure it is paid within two working days.

Meizu CEO Jack Wong has just confirmed that the Meizu 16X will be coming with 128 GB of storage and 8 GB of RAM. Since Meizu is known for releasing multiple variants of its smartphones, it appears that the 128 GB + 8 GB Meizu 16X could be the higher edition and there may be a lower variant too. Today, the alleged Meizu 16X has appeared with full specifications on TENAA, the telecom regulatory body of China.

The Meizu 16th has a model number of M882Q whereas the advanced Meizu 16th Plus has a model number of M892Q. Hence, the Meizu M872Q that has now surfaced on TENAA with full specs could be the Meizu 16X that is confirmed to go official in September. The handset will be borrowing couple of features from Meizu 16th. It is expected to arrive as a worthy competitor for the Xiaomi Mi 8 SE smartphone.

Wong has previously claimed that the Meizu 16X will be sporting a larger display than the Mi 8 SE that features a 5.88-inch screen. The TENAA listing of the Meizu 16X has revealed that it will be a bigger device as it measures 151.2 x 73.6 x 7.5mm, weighs 154 grams and features 6-inch AMOLED screen. The display of Meizu 16X produces Full HD+ resolution of 1080 x 2160 pixels and an aspect ratio of 18:9. Like the Meizu 16th, the 16X features an in-display fingerprint scanner.

The handset is fueled by an octa-core processor that clocks at 2.2 GHz. This could be the Snapdragon 710 chipset. The TENAA listing further reveals that the handset runs on Android 8.1 Oreo and it features 6 GB of RAM and 64 GB of inbuilt storage. The handset lacks support for external storage. It draws power from 3,000mAh battery that is equipped with fast charging support. At the back panel of the phone is 12-megapixel + 20-megapixel. It is fitted with a selfie camera of 20-megapixel. Wong has already confirmed that the Meizu 16X will be borrowing its cameras from the Meizu 16th handset. Rumors have it that the 16X will be priced between 2,000 Yuan (~$292) and 2,500 Yuan (~$366).

On Aug. 8, Meizu had introduced the Meizu 16th series of smartphones through an unveil event in Beijing, China. The enticing starting price of 2,698 Yuan makes it one of the irresistible Snapdragon 845 powered smartphones. At the launch event of the Meizu 16th, the company had confirmed that it will be available in two color choices such as Black and White. Couple of days after the launch of the Meizu 16th, the rumor mill claimed that the company may introduce a new color variant for it. Today, some netizens have shared an image of the new “Mirror Blue” edition of the Meizu 16th. It is also speculated that the new variant may carry the same price tag as the other two color variants.

The above image reveals that the Mirror Blue Meizu 16th will be a color gradient that gives it a premium appeal. The handset seems to be sporting 3D glass back shell that is curved on all four sides. If the Meizu 16th arrives in the new color, it is very likely that the Meizu 16th Plus will be also available in the same color. At present, there is no official confirmation by Meizu on the existence of the Meizu 16th Mirror Blue variant.

Last week, the Meizu 16th was made available on its first very sale in China and it was sold out in just few seconds. The Meizu 16th is equipped with an 18:9 aspect ratio display that measures 6 inches. The Snapdragon 845 SoC is present under the hood of the phone. It comes in multiple storage editions like 64 GB and 128 GB and RAM variants like 4 GB, 6 GB and 8 GB. It is equipped with 12-megapixel + 20-megapixel dual camera and 20-megapixel front-facing camera. The handset receives power from 3,010mAh battery.

On the other side, the Meizu 16th Plus features 6.5-inch S-AMOLED screen that offers 18:9 aspect ratio. It features the same SoC, dual rear cameras and front-facing camera available on the Meizu 16th. Its storage variants are 128 GB and 256 GB and its RAM variants are 6 GB and 8 GB. It receives power from 3,750mAh battery.

Meizu has recently launched the Meizu 16 and Meizu 16 Plus flagship phones. The Meizu 16 series is available with a very affordable starting price of 2,698 Yuan (~$394). Few weeks before the launch of the Meizu 16 duo, Meizu CEO Jack Wong had revealed many features of both smartphones. Now that the company is prepping up to launch two new mid-range phones, Wong has shared some fresh information on them.

Before the announcement of Meizu 16 and Meizu 16 Plus, Wong had confirmed on the existence of the Meizu X8 smartphone as the company first notched display phone. It was also revealed that the smartphone is powered by Snapdragon 710. Soon after the launch of Meizu 16 and 16 Plus, he claimed that the Meizu 16X is the name of the company’s next Snapdragon 710 smartphone. Hence, the rumor mill started speculating that the Meizu 16X and X8 could be the very same phone since both phones were said to feature the same chipset. However, the new information shared by Wong reveals that the Meizu 16X and Meizu 8X are two different upcoming mid-range phones from the company.

According to Wong, the Meizu 16X will be the best Snapdragon 710 powered smartphone. It will be featuring Super AMOLED display and it will come equipped with an in-display fingerprint reader. The smartphone could be priced between 2,000 Yuan (~$292) and 2,500 Yuan (~$365). There is a possibility that the Meizu 16X may look similar to the Meizu 16 and 16 Plus smartphones.

Wong also added that the Meizu 8X is also equipped with Snapdragon 710. Since it will be arriving with a notched screen, it will be rivaling with Xiaomi Mi 8 SE smartphone that features a notched display and SD710 chipset. Wong has previously claimed that the Meizu 8X will have a larger display than the Mi 8 SE and it will be priced between 1,500 Yuan (~$219) and 2,000 Yuan (~$292) . This phone is unlikely to feature an in-screen fingerprint reader.

Earlier in this month, Wong had claimed that the Meizu 16X will be made official in September. Recently, the smartphone was spotted with 6 GB of RAM on Geekbench. There is no confirmation on the launch timeframe of the Meizu 8X.

Through a launch event in China yesterday, Meizu had announced the arrival of Meizu 16 and Meizu 16 Plus smartphones. The new smartphones are equipped with in-display fingerprint scanner, high screen-to-body ratio, Snapdragon 845 SoC and up to 8 GB of RAM. The Meizu 16 has been introduced with an enticing starting price of 2,698 Yuan (~$395). Jack Wong, the CEO of Meizu has confirmed that another Meizu 16 series smartphone called Meizu 16X will be debuting in September.

Before the launch of Meizu 16 and 16 Plus, Wong had teased the features of both the smartphones. He had also spilled some information on the Meizu X8 smartphone. He had claimed that the X8 will be powered by Snapdragon 710 which suggested that it could be arriving as a competitor for the Xiaomi Mi 8 SE. However, the company did not announce it at the Meizu 16 series launch event yesterday. In response to the concerns of netizens over the unannounced smartphone, Wong revealed that through official community forum that the upcoming Meizu phone with Snapdragon 710 is Meizu 16X and it will be launching in September.

Wong had previously called Meizu’s forthcoming Snapdragon 710 smartphone as Meizu X8. However, it seems that the company may have decided to include it in the Meizu 16 series.

According to the previous information shared by Wong, the Meizu 16X could be the first phone from the company to arrive with a notched screen. He had also said that the screen of the smartphone would be bigger than that of Mi 8 SE. Its fingerprint reader will be present on its back panel.

Today, after several leaks, Meizu has finally unveiled its new line-up of flagships composed of Meizu 16 and 16 Plus, which can be surely defined the most impressive devices ever released from the Chinese company. However, they share the same camera department as their predecessors Meizu 15 and 15 Plus launched a few months ago. But this does not mean their camera performance is the same as the previous line-up thanks to an enhanced algorithm and the Snapdragon 845 mobile platform making these devices way better than the previous models.

The first camera samples from Meizu 16 have just been published and they show a stunning photo quality. When light conditions are good, the detail and the sharpness of the photo are very impressive, while in a dark environment the phone still managed to capture a detailed shot with no digital noise. The 4th photo is also showing the potentialities of the fifth-generation beauty algorithm based on artificial intelligence, which can also recognize people’s age, gender, skin quality and more to adjust the photos consequently in order to realize the most beautiful selfies.

Meizu 16 and 16 Plus have a dual camera setup on their rear side. It is composed of a Sony IMX380 sensor and a Sony IMX350. The first has a resolution of 12 MP, a f/1.8 aperture and OIS, with a pixel size of 1.55 um. The secondary sensor is a telephoto lens with a resolution of 20 MP and a f/2.6 aperture, with a pixel size of 1.0 um. Under the cameras, there is a laser autofocus mechanism with a ring flash around which is composed of 6 LEDs. The selfie camera is a single snapper with a 20 MP resolution and a f/2.0 aperture.

What do you think about the above camera samples? Will this phone be able to compete with the top camera phones of 2018 such as Huawei P20 Pro?

Meizu has always had a slightly different approach to smartphones but history reveals that being different doesn’t always pay off. Now, the company is back in business, this time in the premium segment with its two new smartphones, the Meizu 16 and the Meizu 16 Plus. For the first time in Meizu’s history, the company is going to use the flagship chipset from Qualcomm in its smartphones — the Qualcomm Snapdragon 845. So, Meizu is finally going with the mainstream chipmaker, after years of reliance on competitors like MediaTek and Samsung. This does put the new Meizu 16 and the 16 Plus in the big leagues, right besides smartphones like the Mi 8, Mi Mix 2S, and even the OnePlus 6.

Meizu 16 Design

Hate the notch up front on recent smartphones? You’d be glad to know that the Meizu 16 and the Meizu 16 Plus are both notch-less smartphones. Before you get too excited, note that they don’t have pop up cameras like that of the Vivo Nex or even the OPPO Find X, but the company’s design is very refined to minimise the bezels on all the four sides!

Symmetry has always been a big part of Meizu devices and despite the challenges associated with new age 2018 smartphones, the company has managed to retain a symmetric design on its new Meizu 16 series. But without a pop up camera, does it mean that the Meizu 16 has a thick forehead?

Not really! Meizu explains that the company had to spend millions of dollars to re-customize the screen packaging technology to ensure that all the necessary components on the front are incorporated in the thin forehead on the top. The forehead of a smartphone has always been a crowded spot, with the earpiece, cameras, and sensors all cramming for space up on top. While it’s not as thin as the Vivo Nex’s almost non-existent forehead, the company has managed to bring the screen to body ratio to up to 91.18% with this design.

Wait a second! If you remember, the Vivo Nex has a 91.24% screen to body ratio, and comparing this figure to Meizu 16’s 91.18% STB ratio, you’d immediately understand how thin its bezels are!

As I said above, the design is pretty refined and the overall smartphone looks beautiful from up front. The overall body is made out of glass and the back cover comes with a 7 layer coating process that creates a texture very close to ceramic. There are two colors available, White and Black and with the polished glass finish, the Black variant in particular turns out to be quite reflective, similar to OnePlus 6’s Mirror Black edition.

Meizu’s obsession with refined design translates into a lighter and thinner smartphone too! So, officially, Meizu is marketing the Meizu 16 as the thinnest in-screen fingerprint smartphone in the world! The Meizu 16 is just 7.3mm thick, way less thinner than OPPO Find X which measures 9.3mm.

If you have been a regular flagship user over the years, you would have realised that smartphones have gradually become heavier. This is another area where Meizu 16 excels as the phone weighs just 152 grams! In comparison, the Vivo Nex weighs 199 grams, Find X weighs 186 grams and even the OnePlus 6 weighs 177 grams. That’s a significant difference in weight and big thumbs up for Meizu in limiting its weight and thickness to such an extent!

Meizu 16 Specs

So far the Meizu 16 is turning out to be quite an impressive smartphone. In the specs department too, the phone doesn’t disappoint. The 16 series comes with the powerful Snapdragon 845 chipset (so no more less powerful chip alternatives for Meizu fans!) that is 1.53 times faster than its predecessor, the Meizu 15 Plus. After seeing the Meizu 16 come to life, it really looks as if the 15 series was just a testing platform for the company in order to perfect the 16 series for the mainstream market.

The phone starts with 6GB of RAM and goes up to 8GB of RAM for higher-end models. The top-end model comes with 8GB LPDDR4X RAM and 256GB of UFS 2.1 storage. Meizu 16 comes with a 6-inch FHD+ Super AMOLED display will its elder sibling will feature a larger 6.5-inch Super AMOLED display with the same resolution. In comparison, the 16 features a 3010mAh battery while the 16 Plus has a larger 3640mAh battery inside.

Both the models feature an in-display fingerprint sensor and after months of debugging and optimisation, the recognition speed is 0.25 seconds and the success rate is as much as 99.12%. While an in-screen fingerprint sensor might not be as fast or accurate as a traditional optical sensor, it’s really exciting to see more companies opting for this new technology which will further speed up its optimisation, helping it mature soon.

Another highlight of the Meizu 16 series is the new liquid cooled copper tube cooling system inside. This will ensure that the phone will stay cool even in the heaviest of gaming scenarios, ensuring you get maximum performance from Snapdragon 845 and its supporting hardware. With phones like the Honor Note 10 featuring liquid cooling tech, this move from Meizu is not really surprising.

Other features include dual band Wi-Fi 2×2 MIMO and LTE 4×4 MIMO, Bluetooth 5.0, Qualcomm aptX support and Sony LDAC for the best wireless music experience.

Meizu 16 Cameras

The Meizu 16 series features a large 20MP sensor up front with ArcSoft’s beauty algorithms. You also get special features on the front camera such as bokeh mode.

The rear dual camera setup is the same as the Meizu 15 Plus, so you get a 12MP IMX 380 sensor paired with a 20MP IMX350 sensor. Additional features include four axis OIS, and 1/4s shutter speed. This setup paired with the advanced Spectra 280 ISP on the SD845 should ensure high quality photos from the phone. Further, like all other flagship phones of 2018, Meizu 16 also relies on AI to improve its photography. The phone features a solid auto HDR mode and scene recognition that promises vibrant colors on your landscape photos.

Meizu 16 Software

The new Meizu 16 series comes with the latest Flyme 7 UI based on Android Oreo out of the box. The company is using OneMind AI to create a new app preloading technology that promises to improve start up speed by up to 36%. The phone also features Meizu’s SuperSwipe technology that is said to improve UI fluency by up to 67% by optimising the CPU’s multi-core algorithms.

In order to give you the best gaming experience, Meizu has also set up a joint lab with top gaming publishers in China like Tencent and NetEase to ensure games are optimised for its new devices. Considering liquid cooling and hardware on board, Meizu 16 should run most high-end games without a sweat!

mBack has always been an important part of Meizu smartphones and the new Meizu 16 series comes with the improved Super mBack 2.0. The new version replaces the small circle in favour of a small horizontal bar at the bottom of the screen. This definitely reminds us of Android Pie’s navigation button but Meizu adds that it accepts the standard Super mBack gestures seen on its previous devices.

Meizu 16 Price & Availability

The Meizu 16 comes in three variants and their prices are as follows:

6+64GB: 2698 Yuan (~$395)

6+128GB: 2998 Yuan (~$439)

Meizu has a launch event coming up on Aug. 8 for unveiling Meizu 16 and Meizu 16 Plus smartphones. Today, the Chinese manufacturer has confirmed through its official Weibo account that apart from unleashing Meizu 16 series smartphones, the company will be also announcing Meizu Gravity speaker.

In May 2016, Meizu had teased the arrival of Meizu Gravity speaker. Since it had encountered technical difficulties in mass producing the speakers, the Chinese manufacturer could not release it. However, the company seems to be all set to debut it officially alongside the Meizu 16 and Meizu 16 Plus speakers on Aug. 8.

Meizu Gravity is Wi-Fi and Bluetooth speaker that features a pair of 1.25-inch full-range speakers. An aux port is also available on the device.

The design of the floating speaker with floating display was conceived by Kosho Tsuboi, a well-known designer from Japan.

There is no information on the pricing of the Meizu Gravity. In December 2016, the speaker was crowdfunded on Indiegogo with a price tag of $169.

We reported the appearance of the Meizu 16 models’ appearance on China’s Telecom’s regulatory agency TENAA’s website a couple of days back. The Meizu 16 and 16 Plus were certified by TENAA and with the certification came the real photos and main specifications of the models. What we didn’t spot on the specs table was the presence of on-screen fingerprint sensors on both models. 

Meizu had earlier released a sketch on the Meizu forum which hinted at the presence of an on-screen fingerprint sensor on the Meizu 16 and 16 Plus. As part of the TENAA listing for both models, is the presence of the regular fingerprint sensor and a second fingerprint recognition technology on the screen. We’ll have to wait until the models are launched to get the full details of the fingerprint technology at play.

According to the TENAA listing, the Meizu 16 will come with a 6.0-inch AMOLED display having a resolution of 2160 x 1080 resolution.

The Meizu 16 was supposed to launch on August 8 but it appears Meizu has brought it back by a week. The Chinese manufacturer has sent out invites for an event on July 30.

As you already know Meizu is always extra with its invites and this time it has sent a bottle of shampoo along with the invite. The shampoo brand is Heads and Shoulders and we think it is a joke teasing other manufacturers whose phones have a notch or how the bezels on the Meizu 16 and Meizu 16 Plus are small.

The Meizu 16 and Meizu 16 Plus will both come with Snapdragon 845 processors. They will also have AMOLED displays with the Plus variant coming with a 6.5-inch screen and the regular model having a 6.0-inch screen.

The TENAA images show that the Meizu 16 and Meizu 16 Plus have identical design. In fact, the Meizu 16 Plus appears like a larger edition of Meizu 16.

Now, Jack Wong has suggested the pricing structure of the company’s upcoming smartphones. A user on Meizu Forums claimed to know the pricing of the upcoming smartphones from the company. He said that the SD845 model with 6GB RAM and 64GB storage will cost 2,399 Yuan ($356); 6GB RAM and 128GB storage model will be priced at 2,699 Yuan $400); the 8GB RAM and 128GB storage model will cost 2,999 Yuan ($445).

If Meizu X8 is priced at 1,799 Yuan, the Meizu 16 SD710 model will cost 2,299 Yuan. Earlier, he had said that the pricing of Meizu 16 series will not exceed 4,000 Yuan.

He further added that if Xiaomi wants to reduce the price of Xiaomi Mi 8, it will have to reduce it by 300 Yuan to match the pricing of Meizu 16. Jack Wong seems to be very confident about the company’s upcoming smartphones and has been making claims about its performance along with comparing it with Xiaomi’s flagship device Mi 8.

The Meizu 16 series smartphones are expected to come with a notchless full-screen display with a high screen-to-body ratio. Both the models will be powered by Qualcomm‘s Snapdragon 845 octa-core processor. However, there’ll be another variant of Meizu 16 powered by Snapdragon 710 SoC.

Huang Zhang, the founder of Meizu has revealed a hand-drawn Meizu 16 sketch in the Meizu community today. The sketch sort of confirms that the device would come in two models and the two models will feature on-screen fingerprint sensors. The Meizu CEO further hinted that the smartphone would be released next month. From the sketch, the two model would come in different screen size, which is supposedly the Meizu 16 and 16 Plus. Alongside the sketch was a very brief note “the pursuit comes from love”. 

Before now, reports have it that, the Meizu flagship will use an OLED display, COF package, and supports AOD screen fingerprint unlocking. The device would be fuelled by the popular standard Qualcomm Snapdragon 845 processor and wouldn’t use the full-screen design, unlike the 16 Plus that sports a full 6.5 inches screen.

Meizu 16 and 16 Plus are set to be unveiled in late August as the most impressive Meizu flagships of the year. Today, a new photo leaked on Twitter shows us a part of the front panel of the upcoming top-end devices, and it lets us notice important details about its display. First of all, the two devices shown in the photo have a slightly different design. We suppose that the one on the left is the Plus version as it seems bigger and it has a narrower bezel on the lower part, while the one on the right should be the standard version.

It is easy to notice the presence of an in-display fingerprint reader on the alleged Plus variant as there is a fingerprint icon on the display. Meizu 16 and 16 Plus have a sleek metal frame which houses a USB Type-C port and two grilles, probably one for the speaker and another for the microphone. At least on the Plus variant, bezels seem to be narrower than the Galaxy S9 line-up and this matches with recent declarations of the company’s CEO and founder Jack Wong. Given the presence of an in-display fingerprint reader, it is kinda sure that the Meizu 16 Plus will feature an AMOLED display as this technology only works with OLED panels.

Even though they will have narrow bezels and their screen-to-body ratio will be high, the two devices will not feature a notch but a classic 18:9 panel. Under the hood, both Meizu 16 and 16 Plus will sport an octa-core Snapdragon 845 SoC, the best chipset by Qualcomm which can run at a max frequency of 2.8 GHz. Recently, Jack Wong has implicitly hinted at the fact that the most powerful version of the new flagships will not cost more than 4000 Yuan, which roughly translates into $514 at the actual change.

Recently, Meizu launched its Meizu 15 series of smartphones, marking the company’s fifteenth anniversary. Now, the company is already working on its successor. Meizu CEO Jack Wong confirmed earlier this month that the Meizu 16 smartphones will launch in August this year.

In the latest development, the image of the alleged Meizu 16 smartphone has been leaked online through Chinese microblogging platform Weibo. The image is similar to the render of the smartphone leaked earlier. The image shows that there’s no notch on top of the display but there are thin bezels surrounding the display.

The newly leaked image suggests that the back camera will be placed in the top-center position with two camera sensors stacked vertically. In the image, the fingerprint sensor is not visible, which could mean that the phone will come with an in-display fingerprint sensor.

One of the variants of the Meizu 16 has been confirmed to come powered by Qualcomm‘s Snapdragon 845 processor. There’s another model that will come with recently launched Snapdragon 710 processor. The smartphone will have up to 8GB of RAM.

Both the phones are rumored to feature a 20-megapixel front-facing snapper.

The upcoming smartphones are expected to be running an improved version of Flyme OS and OneMind 2.5, but the exact version of the Android operating system is not yet known. The Flyme OS 7.5 comes with support for full-screen gestures, 3D Press, NFC, AI capabilities and more.

The Meizu 16 is likely to house a 3,080mAh battery with 24W charging (8V/3A). On the other side, the Meizu 16 Plus is expected to not only house a bigger battery of 3,600mAh capacity along with faster 32W charging (8V/4A) but is also said to arrive with 10W wireless charging.
