Meizu‘s next flagship model, Meizu 17 is expected to be unveiled later this month. In recent times, leaks surrounding the device has been on the increase. The AnTuTu benchmark score just joined the list of leaked features of the device. A leaked screenshot of the AnTuTu score of a Meizu model suspected to be the Meizu 17 was shared on Weibo recently.

The screenshot reveals the model to go by the codename M2081 with a total AnTuTu score of 580851 points. Previously, two models of the Meizu 17 had been certified by China’s 3C with model names M081Q and M081M. The M081M is said to be codenamed M2081. Thus, we can conclude that the screenshot is for the Meizu 17. Besides, the AnTuTu score confirms this is a flagship model of which the 17 is the only Meizu flagship expected.

The Meizu 17 is expected to be powered by a Snapdragon 865 chipset. The AnTuTu flagship ranking for March shows the top 8 models had running scores were above 586,000 points with the highest even reaching 606,000 points. However, this seems to be the prototype since the Meizu 17 is yet to go official. Thus, there is still room for improvement.

The Meizu 17 is expected to come with a design that signals a deviation to Meizu’s symmetrical display philosophy. The device will utilise a punch-hole camera which at the rear, there will be a horizontally aligned quad-camera setup, a rare one at that. The display will have support for 90Hz refresh rate and will be a 6.5-inch AMOLED screen. It will also get support for SA, NSA dual-mode  5G.

Meizu revealed last week that the Meizu 17 will be launched in April. The Meizu 17 will hit as Meizu’s 17th-anniversary flagship model and is expected to have a redefined design. Meizu has over the years refused to adopt a display cut-out design rather, they have stuck with symmetrical design in line with the philosophy of its founder Jack Wang.

The Meizu 17 may deviate slightly from that style if this leaked photo of the device is anything to go by. The leak shows the device will have a punch-hole at the top right corner of the display. What makes this even more interesting is that the punch-hole camera will be surrounded by a ring LED indicator which displays the battery level. The indicator may also display perhaps in different colours when the device is charging. The location of the punch-hole is different from what obtains on most smartphones where the selfie camera cut-out is located at the top left corner. With this design, the indicator is rightly located close to the signal strength indicator and the clock is then retained in its traditional top-left location.

The Meizu 17 is expected to be powered by a Snapdragon 865 processor and will support 5G connectivity as well as WiFi 6. The flagship device is equally expected to have an in-display fingerprint scanner. It will definitely run Android 10 but then that will be with the company’s FlymeOS skin on top of it. We’ll have to wait for more details to know if it will feature 90Hz refresh rate.

UPDATE: Persons familiar with the internal operations at Meizu have revealed some of the key specs of the Meizu 17. The device is said to have a screen size between 6.4-6.5 inches with FHD+ resolution. The device is also said to have support for 90Hz refresh rate as well as an aspect ratio of 19.5: 9. The flagship will come with an 8GB RAM + 128GB storage variant and will use the new LPDDR5 memory and UFS3.0 flash memory. The Meizu 17 will pack a 4500mAH battery with support for 30W wired fast charging and 30W wireless fast charging.

The innovative Chinese tech company, Meizu has hinted that its next flagship model which would be called Meizu 17 will be launched sometime in April. This was revealed via an open letter published on the firm’s official Weibo account. The post didn’t include a specific date but the device is expected to be Meizu’s first 5G phone.

Meizu has stuck to its non-conformist approach of not including any form of notch design on its flagship smartphones right from when the notch began trending until now. Instead, the company has maintained the symmetrical design style and in the process has brought out some amazing smartphones with extremely reduced bezels which received rave reviews. But for the poor distribution network and awful custom ROM which keeps some potential buyer away, Meizu might have climbed into the top 5 global vendors by now.

The Meizu 17 is likely to keep up with the full-screen, notch-less design and several renders, including official ones have popped up online. The display will adopt a near-bezel-less approach with just a strip of bezel holding the screen in place on all four sides.

The Meizu 17 will come as Meozu’s 17th-anniversary flagship and will be powered by Qualcomm’s latest Snapdragon 865 chipset. We equally expect the device to feature an in-display fingerprint scanner, a large battery. It will definitely run Android 10 but then that will be with the company’s FlymeOS skin on top of it.

We expect the company to officially announce the specific launch date in the coming days.

Meizu‘s president Jack Wang has been an ardent apostle of smartphones having symmetrical designs on smartphones. That is the reason why despite the notch design trend which has been deployed to trim down the bezels and deliver full-screen designs by OEMs, Meizu has stayed off using the design. Whether the decision not to join the design trend is for the best interest of the company or not is a debate for another day. What interests us now is speculation that the Chinese company may continue its perfectly symmetrical design on the Meizu 17. A leaked render said to be of the Meizu 17 points in this direction.

The render shows the Meizu 17 will retain the slim bezels used on the Meizu 16 series. Just that this time around, the top and bottom bezels will be trimmed down further to almost the same size as the side bezels. This means we’ll be seeing a higher screen ratio on the 17. The screen will also be curved slightly at the sides.

The Meizu 17 will retain the micro-slot earpiece design on the Meizu 16 series. Also, of interest is the front camera which still finds its way into the slim bezel at the top edge, tucked into the upper right corner. Since the available space is quite small, Meizu would need to use a sensor with a smaller size. At present, the only sensor that fits the description is Samsung’s new 43.7MP  ISOCELL slim GH1 image sensor which has a single pixel size of only 0.7μm.

In addition, according to the previous leaks, Meizu 17 will likely come with a triple rear camera setup. The main camera is likely Samsung’s 64MP sensor. There is no much detail about the Meizu 17 at the moment but we expect more to emerge a the day roll by.

The phone will no doubt be a beauty to behold just like the Meizu 16S Pro. Perhaps, you should check out to Meizu 16S Pro hands-on post to appreciate the sleekness of Meizu’s latest flagship.
