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.
