In recent times, Meizu has reduced the rate at which it launched new smartphones but the company took the wraps off its first Snapdragon 855-powered smartphone – the Meizu 16s Pro. While the pace of smartphone unveiling has reduced, the Chinese phone maker has not deviated from its spectacular design which has at its bedrock, a resolve to maintain the symmetry of smartphone display. That is what the company did with the new Meizu 16s Pro.

The 16s Pro comes with a spectacular design which in actual sense looks like the Meizu 16. There is no notch at the top of the screen but the device presents with an ultra-thin bezel at the top just wide enough to hold the selfie camera. The bezel at the bottom edge of the display is also the same size as that at the top. The bezels at the sides are almost completely off. But for the white colour of the display edges, it would have been difficult to notice the side bezels.

The Meizu 16s Pro is also a beauty to behold from the rear. The device uses a dual-curved edge design and a glass panel. There is a vertically stacked camera module bearing three camera sensors. The third camera sensor is bordered by Meizu’s patented ring flash, adding to the beauty. The rear cameras are the only occupants of the back panel as the device doesn’t have a rear-mounted fingerprint sensor.

Although the 16s Pro doesn’t use a pop-up selfie camera design, the SIM card slot is moved to the bottom edge flanking the USB-C port. This could be to reduce the size of the device. The 16s Pro is just 7.65mm thick and weighs 166 grams.

To recall, the Meizu 16s Pro packs a 6.2-inch Super AMOLED display with an aspect ratio of 18.6:9 and full HD+ resolution of 2232 x 1080 pixels.  The display has a screen ratio of 91.53 percent. The display of the phone is embedded with a Super mTouch in-screen fingerprint scanner. Keeping the lights on is a 3,600mAh battery that supports 24W rapid charging.
