With the number of flagships flooding the market these days, it’s very hard for any particular smartphone to stand out of the crowd. Things get even worse when you are a small time company, especially in the premium segment where Huawei, Xiaomi, Vivo, and OPPO have some really compelling options. Still, there are a few smartphones that do stand out because of its design and features and the Meizu 16 series can definitely be tagged as one of such devices. The phone offers tremendous value for money, starting under $400 in China, even beating the Xiaomi Mi 8 and OnePlus 6 in its pricing. So, let’s move on to the Meizu 16 hands on.

In this age where notches are taking over the smartphone market, its very refreshing to see a different design. Yes, I know there are notch-less options like the Vivo Nex and the OPPO Find X, but they do feature mechanical pop up cameras that may not be everyone’s cup of tea due to a number of reasons. Also, some users prefer a little bit of bezel around their smartphone and the Meizu 16 could be a perfect blend of bezel and screen. I say this because the Meizu 16 takes the screen to body ratio to up to 91.18%, and that’s almost the same as the full screen Vivo Nex!

Another important revelation from this Meizu 16 hands was its light weight feel. The phone is super light and as compared to competitors like the OnePlus 6, OPPO Find X and even the Xiaomi Mi 8, the Meizu 16 comes in as a significantly lightweight option weighing just 152 grams. Its quite thin as well, measuring just 7.3mm in thickness.

So how did Meizu limit its bezels to such a level? The company revealed that it spent millions of dollars squeezing in all the components like camera, earpiece and sensors on the thin top bezel by re-customizing its display packaging technology. The end result is a super thin bezel smartphone that comes with a very high screen to body ratio, without sacrificing on durability by adding any mechanical parts. It’s the perfect solution if you don’t mind the small bezels on the top and the bottom.

Coming to the body, the phone is essentially made of glass on both the sides, with the back getting a special 7 layer coating that makes the texture very similar to ceramic. The back isn’t as reflective as the Mirror Black edition of the OnePlus 6, but as you can see in the image, it’s quite glossy.

The back is curved making it comfortable to grip and the 6-inch FHD+ Super AMOLED display is compact yet large enough to satisfy your entertainment needs. The buttons are on the right while the SIM slot is on the left. The top is clean save for a microphone opening, while at the bottom you have a USB Type-C port, speakers, and a dedicated 3.5mm headphone jack. The back features a dual camera setup with ring flash just below it. Apart from these, the overall design of the Meizu 16 is simple yet elegant, especially with an in-display fingerprint scanner neatly tucked under the AMOLED screen.

Meizu‘s CEO Huang Zhang has been the major source of details concerning the upcoming Meizu 16 flagship. The CEO shares details of the device almost every week on Meizu’s forum but suddenly ceased doing that last week. While fans were left wondering why the lull, Huang Zhang has returned with more details for the flagship 16. This time around he shares some photos captured while he and his family were on vacation. You guessed right, the photos were captured using the Meizu 16 camera.

This happens to be the second time the CEO is sharing sample photo suspected to be of the Meizu 16. At the beginning of July, a sample photo was shared by Mr Zhang but it turned out the photo wasn’t captured using the 16. However, Mr Zhang again shared another photo today which he confirmed was shot using the flagship device. The EXIF data of the photo confirms it was shot using the Meizu 16. The indoor sample photo looks pretty impressive with a high level of accuracy in colour reproduction and the clarity is vivid.

Meizu is yet to reveal when the device will be officially unveiled but the CEO had hinted earlier that the device will be launched on August 16. That is yet to get an official confirmation via poster or launch invitation. Whenever the device arrives, we expect a Snapdragon 845 chipset onboard among others. The Meizu 16 series is also expected to include the Meizu 16, Meizu 16 Plus, and Meizu X8.

The Meizu 16 is scheduled to launch in August and Meizu is bent on keeping to the release schedule. So it doesn’t come as a surprise to see the device has gotten its 3C certification.

The phone has been seen on the 3C website with model number M882Q. The Meizu 15’s model number is M881Q, which further confirms that the M882Q is its successor. If Meizu is following this numerical order for the model number, then the Meizu 16 Plus should have model number M892Q. The certification doesn’t reveal much except for supported bands though.

Meizu’s CEO says the Meizu 16 will come with a Snapdragon 845 processor with copper tubes heat dissipation system, an 18:9 display, and an in-display fingerprint scanner. Leaked images also show that it has dual rear cameras. It will also come with up to 8GB of RAM and 256GB of storage

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.

Further, the Meizu 16 series smartphones are expected to come with Full HD screen resolution. It is speculated that both Meizu 16 series smartphones will feature notch-less OLED screens with 3D Press and mEngine.

An earlier leak had suggested that the phones will be equipped with 12-megapixel + 20-megapixel dual camera setup. However, another leak suggests that the dual camera setup will be available only on the Meizu 16 while the Meizu 16 Plus may come equipped with 12-megapixel + 12-megapixel + 20-megapixel triple camera system. 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.

Despite Meizu 15 series having just hit the market, soon the Chinese company will unveil another line-up of flagship smartphones: Meizu 16. In a recent interview, the company’s founder Huang Zhang has indeed revealed that the Meizu 15 released to celebrate the 15th anniversary of the company is just a test, while the 16 will be the ultimate product. Now, the founder has also revealed that the upcoming flagship series will feature a special heat dissipation system working through a copper tube.

This would not be the first time we see such a dissipation system: other smartphones featuring it are the 2017 Razer Phone and even the older Samsung Galaxy S7 and S7 Edge. This system will be present in order to push the octa-core Snapdragon 845 SoC by Qualcomm to the maximum without overheating. In case you don’t know, the company had previously confirmed that at least one variant of the Meizu 16 line-up will feature the Snapdragon 845 SoC, which will make it the first Meizu flagship to feature a top-end Qualcomm chipset.

The handset is also tipped to come with 8 GB of RAM, but probably this amount of memory will be an exclusive for the Plus variant. Indeed, according to rumors, the standard version will pack the lower-end chipset Snapdragon 710 which remains a high-end SoC even though it is not at the same level of SD845. Meizu 16 will be officially unveiled in August, but the founder Huang Zhang will not attend the event, it should have either the Vice President Li Nan or Yang Wei as the main star.

Thanks to the new heat dissipation system, the flagship should be able to achieve impressive performance in gaming or with heavy apps and multi-tasking. No words have been spoken until now about the availability and price of the upcoming flagship.
