At the launch of the Meizu 18s series and the Meizu 18X, Meizu also announced Flyme 9.2, the latest version of its Android fork. The new update brings tons of new features and ships with the new phones. Meizu has now revealed when its older phones will get the update.

According to the official Flyme Weibo account, the Meizu 17 series which includes the Meizu 17 and Meizu 17 Pro will be updated to Flyme 9.2 in October. The Meizu 18 and Meizu 18 Pro launched earlier this year will also receive the update in October.

Among the new features Flyme 9.2 brings is a new font. Meizu says that the new font is elegant and has more accurate symbols. It has also added new features for older users such as larger font size, a magnifier, and high-contrast colors.

Flyme 9.2 also brings a virtual RAM feature to Meizu phones. Users will be able to choose between 3GB, 5GB, and 7GB options which means a phone with 12GB of RAM can have up to 19GB of usable RAM. Another new feature Meizu has added is the auto-deletion of OTPs and single-use alarms.

Of course, this new version of Flyme doesn’t bring a new version of Android. We expect Meizu will announce a new version of its software that will bring Android 12 to its devices.

The company has also visually simplified the fingerprint icon and application interface, removing the decorative elements and retaining only the necessary elements.

There are some interesting screensavers and wallpapers as well as new themes. Alive wallpaper supports dark and light color modes and can be transformed through different levels. The interface is also embedded with dynamic effects, covering screen fingerprint unlocking, facial recognition, screen rotation, gestures, etc.

Yesterday, Meizu teased the arrival of Android 11 for its smartphones. Today, the company has officially confirmed the date on which it will start recruiting closed beta testers. Unsurprisingly, the brand’s flagship smartphones – Meizu 17 and Meizu 17 Pro will be the first in line to receive the update.

According to a post by the official Flyme Weibo account, Meizu will open registrations for the Meizu 17 series Android 11 Closed Beta program on December 23. Although the company did not mention when the beta builds will start arriving, it did reveal that the stable release will happen in Spring 2021.

In other words, owners of Meizu 17 and Meizu 17 Pro will have to wait until either the end of Q1 2021 or early Q2 2021 to experience Android 11 on their smartphones. Though the wait seems too long, it is much better than the Android 10 rollout, which only began in late May 2020.

That said, the brand is yet to disclose the list of eligible devices for Android 11. Hence, we are not sure which Meizu phones will be getting the update. Given the firm’s market share, we think only certain handsets such as Meizu 16S, Meizu 16S Pro, and Meizu 16T will make it to the list.

Meizu was once known for its Flyme Android skin. But with diminishing market share, it is sad to see the firm’s software support to degrade over the years.

Earlier this year, in May, Meizu had launched its flagship smartphones in the form of the Meizu 17 series. Ever since the devices got launched, the company has been adding more and more features to the phones.

In the latest development, Meizu has announced that the Meizu 17 series smartphones will now get MEMC Dynamic Frame Compensation Technology. What it does is that it artificially adds frames to a video with a low frame rate so that it has a higher frame rate and offers a smooth effect. To know more about it, check out our detailed article about MEMC.

Along with MEMC technology, the new update will also offer improvements with regards to the graphics processor, “Flyme Magic” fast pairing system, automatic camera exposure, and introduce new photo editing features. Recruitment of beta testers for the update is expected to take place in the coming days while the update is expected to be available for users by the end of this year.

Soon after launching the flagship smartphones with 90Hz refresh rate support, the company released an update that enabled 120Hz refresh rate and added support for features like DC Dimming and HDR Playback.

After that, the company released an update that added support for stabilization for video recording from all cameras. Recently, the company had rolled out an important update with several bug fixes and a few new features.

Meizu is known for its uniquely-designed smartphones. Unfortunately, the company’s devices are currently limited to its home country China. Back in May, the firm launched Meizu 17 and Meizu 17 Pro as its flagship smartphones of 2020. Now, months later, the company has announced Meizu 17 limited edition box in collaboration with Crazyracing Kartrider.

Meizu is the second smartphone brand to partner with the popular go-kart racing game Crazyracing Kartrider this year. When HONOR X10 was unveiled, Huawei’s sub-brand HONOR announced a limited edition gift box for select customers in association with this game.

However, unlike HONOR, which offered a figurine inside the gift box, Meizu is only providing a scratch card for in-game content. Further, HONOR gave away the box to select customers who pre-ordered HONOR X10 ahead of its official sale. On the other hand, Meizu is offering the gift box as part of the 11.11 (Double Eleven) sale event.

That said, the smartphone included in the Meizu 17 Crazyracing Kartrider Limited Edition Gift Box comes with Fantasy Unicorn paint job and 8GB + 128GB storage configuration. This color variant of Meizu 17 is similar to the recently announced HUAWEI Mate40 Pro’s Mystic Silver color version.

Having said that, despite being a limited edition gift box, the Meizu 17 Crazyracing Kartrider box costs the same 3,699 yuan ($551) as the standard edition. The registration for this box is currently live on Jingdong(JD). Pre-orders will November 1, followed by Sale on November 11.

Meizu is seeding out a new system update to its flagship smartphones – Meizu 17 and Meizu 17 Pro in China. The new update, apart from adding new features, also fixes a large number of bugs reported by users. The company calls this an “important update” as it brings an overall improved experience.

Like the company claims, the new Flyme update for Meizu 17 and Meizu 17 Pro indeed brings a number of small changes here and there as per the changelog.

Some of the new features that this OTA update adds to Meizu 17 series are as listed below.  

• Haptic feedback support for third-party applications like WeChat and Alipay
• Smart screen timeout which extends screen dimming time when a face is detected
• Optimized multi-tasking view with a new swipe up gesture to exit.
• Revamped Meizu Pay app
• New Game Center and various customizations in Game Mode

That said, do you know why Meizu is calling it an “important update:? Because according to the official changelog, the latest system update for Meizu 17 and Meizu 17 Pro fixes a total of 23 known bugs. This is insane as companies usually fix a small number of issues at a time.

The Meizu 17 series is not available outside China. But if you are using an imported unit or a Chinese citizen using it in another country, make sure to download and install this new Flyme update to get all the benefits.

Last but not least, it is worth noting that last month’s system update for these handsets added support for stabilization while recording videos from all the cameras.

A few months ago, in May this year, China-based Meizu had launched the Meizu 17 and 17 Pro smartphones in its home market. At the time, Meizu 17 was made announced in three color options — Green, Gray, and Aurora White.

Today, the company has launched two new color options for the smartphone — AG Intersteller Gray and AG Field Green. Both the color variants are now available for purchase in China, for a starting price of 3,699 yuan which is around $530.

This comes just days after the company started selling Moonlight Blue color variant for the Meizu 17 Pro smartphone in China. The front panel of this variant is in White color while the rest of the body seems similar to the Azure color.

As for the pricing, the Meizu 17 with 8GB RAM + 128GB storage is priced at 3,699 yuan (~$530) while the 8GB RAM + 256GB storage variant costs 3,999 yuan (~$573).

Last month, Meizu announced on Weibo that it will be adding stabilization option for video recording from all the cameras on Meizu 17 series. Now, as promised, the brand has started rolling out the said update with many more features.

Meizu is currently seeding out Fyme v8.1.2.2A OTA update to Meizu 17/17 Pro weighing 2.61GB in size. The new system update brings a  number of new features and also fixes various known bugs.

According to Flyme official Weibo account, the latest update for Meizu 17 series brings the following features along with a ton of fixes.

• Stabilization on all cameras while video recording
• Fast charging while the display is in use.
• Easy access to the 129° ultra-wide camera
• Intelligent network distribution
• Battery optimizations

Interestingly, the second and third features were already introduced in the Flyme v8.1.1.0A update that was sent out to media review units in May. Looks like they did not make their way to consumer units in the next week.

Anyway, this is the second major update for Meizu 17 series. Unfortunately, it seems to be limited for the Chinese variants and above all, it is not known when the brand will deliver the same to units running Flyme Global version.

UP NEXT: Meizu has no plans to launch new phones in H2 2020

The post Meizu delivers the promised camera stabilization update to Meizu 17/17 Pro appeared first on Gizmochina.

The Meizu 17 series are the only smartphones Meizu has announced this year and they may as well be the only smartphones it will launch this year according to news from China.

A summary of a conference was posted on the manufacturer’s Weibo page and one of the points said Meizu will not be announcing new phones in the second half of the year. The reason is that the Meizu 17 series is reasonably priced, thus there is no need to launch other phones.

The Meizu 17 starts at ¥3699 while the Meizu 17 Pro has a starting price of ¥4299. They are definitely not the cheapest Snapdragon 865 phones on the market but pack pretty impressive specs nonetheless.

The summary also mentioned that FlymeOS will eventually get ads but they should not be intrusive. Meizu also plans to launch smart home and smart wearable products which may launch in the second half of the year.

Meizu also revealed it is working on TWS ANC earbuds alongside a Meizu POP3 that is better and more expensive than the previous generation. The Meizu POP3 should launch in time for the Double Eleven shopping festival in November.

The post Meizu has no plans to launch new phones in H2 2020 appeared first on Gizmochina.

Last month, on 8th May, Chinese smartphone maker Meizu announced its next-generation flagship smartphone series which includes Meizu 17 and Meizu 17 Pro. Although the phones were launched with a 90Hz refresh rate, the company enabled 120Hz refresh rate through a software update just weeks after the launch.

Now, Meizu is pushing a new update which further enhances the display performance on the flagship smartphones. The company has announced that it is now enabling support for 90 frames per second for the “Peace Elite” game.

For those who are unaware, Peace Elite is the Chinese version of the popular PUBG Mobile game. Recently, the OnePlus 8 series became the first in the world to support the Fornite game in 90 frames per second. However, it came at a compromise as enabling 90fps mode changes the graphics settings to low.

Coming to the specifications, both Meizu 17 and 17 Pro features a 6.6-inch S-AMOLED Full HD+ display which comes with an in-display fingerprint sensor. Under the hood, the devices are powered by the Qualcomm Snapdragon 865 octa-core processor.

As for the pricing, the Meizu 17 with 8GB RAM + 128GB storage is priced at 3,699 yuan while the 8GB RAM + 256GB storage variant costs 3,999 yuan. On the other hand, the Pro model has 8GB RAM + 128GB storage and 12GB RAM + 256GB storage models which cost 4,299 yuan and 4,699 yuan respectively.

Meizu launched the Meizu 17 series in early May in China. The duo is only limited to its home country and it is not sure whether if it will be ever made available in global markets. These handsets feature a unique design and specifications to match it. But they lack OIS and hence the company has announced to fix it by adding stabilization for video recording from almost all the cameras present on them.

Meizu is one of the bizarre smartphone makers in the market. The company launched the Meizu 17 and 17 Pro with 90Hz refresh rate out of the box, albeit the phones support 120Hz. It was later enabled via an OTA update.

Now, the brand has announced to enable stabilization for video recording at all the available resolution and frame rates. More importantly, it will be applicable for all the cameras including wide, ultra-wide, telephoto, and even front.

The regular Meizu 17 also has a macro camera but we are not sure if it will also get the stabilization feature as the company did not mention it in the Weibo announcement post.

The stabilization for video recording on Meizu 17 series will be added via an OTA update. It will be rolled out in batches to all the units in the coming days.

However, the fans of the Chinese firm were disappointed to know that the Meizu 17 and 17 Pro supported only a 90Hz refresh rate. Soon after the launch, the company promised that it will be enabling a 120Hz refresh rate through a software update. A few days later, it rolled out the update to the media review units of the Meizu 17 Pro. Today, Meizu released the first software update for Meizu 17 and Meizu 17 Pro. The update brings support 120Hz refresh rate and it also enables some other features.

Apart from support for higher refresh rate, the update also tags along with other features like HDR video playback and DC dimming support. The review units of the Meizu 17 Pro had received more features like easy access to a 129-degree ultrawide camera and fast charging while the screen was kept on. It is unclear whether these features are also included in the new update for general users of Meizu 17 and 17 Pro. Starting from today, the said features will be made available through OTA update in China. Alternatively, users can visit the official website of Flyme to manually download and install the firmware.

The Meizu 17 series launched last week in China. The two phones which are the Meizu 17 and the Meizu 17 Pro are Meizu’s first phones to come with a 90Hz refresh rate, a feature that has become increasingly popular in phones. Today, Meizu revealed that its flagships support a higher refresh rate.

According to a Weibo post made by Meizu, the Meizu 17 series will get a 120Hz refresh rate mode via an OTA upgrade! The higher refresh rate will further improve the smooth 90Hz refresh rate user experience.

The Meizu 17 and Meizu 17 Pro both have a 6.6-inch AMOLED display custom-made by Samsung. The screens have a punch-hole at the top right corner and a 19.5:9 aspect ratio. There is also a fingerprint scanner buried under the display.

Inside the two phones is a Snapdragon 865 processor with 8GB of RAM in the standard version and 12GB of RAM in the Pro model. Both phones are available in 128GB and 256GB variants.

Meizu has equipped both phones with a quad rear camera setup but with different configurations. The Meizu 17 has a 64MP + 8MP ultrawide + 12MP portrait camera + 5MP macro camera setup while the Meizu 17 Pro’s setup consists of a 64MP + 8MP telephoto + 32MP ultrawide + 3D depth-sensing camera.

Yesterday, we compared Meizu 17 Pro, OnePlus 8 Pro and Xiaomi Mi 10 Pro for pretty obvious reasons. If you are interested in the comparison of the latest top-tier flagships released by Meizu, OnePlus and Xiaomi, head to this link. Today, we decided to compare the vanilla version: Meizu 17, OnePlus 8, and Xiaomi Mi 10. If you live in China and you are looking for the best affordable flagship, currently these handsets are among the best option you can choose. This comparison will highlight the differences between their specifications.

Meizu 17 vs OnePlus 8 vs Xiaomi Mi 10

Design

Due to its very high screen-to-body ratio, curved screen, non-invasive camera module, a more compact body, and the Gorilla Glass 5 protection for the front and back glasses, my favorite device when it comes to the aesthetics is the OnePlus 8. But this does not mean that its rivals are disappointing: the Xiaomi Mi 10 is a very elegant handset as well and Meizu 17 provides an original design with its horizontal camera module and very narrow bezels. But OnePlus 8 is smaller, thinner, and lighter, and this influences my preference.

Display

With Meizu 17, Xiaomi Mi 10, and OnePlus 8 Pro you get very nice displays: in each case, you get an HDR10+ compliant panel with a 90 Hz refresh rate, the AMOLED technology, a Full HD+ resolution, and high brightness. Given that Meizu 17 just went official, it is still too early and we can not test it in order to tell you which is the very best display. However, if you are evaluating these three handsets you should not focus on the displays because there are only marginal differences between their panels.

Hardware/Software

While Meizu 17 offers a faster UFS 3.1 internal storage, OnePlus 8 and Xiaomi Mi 10 are equipped with more RAM (up to 12 GB) in their most expensive versions. The processor is the same for all of these handsets (Qualcomm Snapdragon 865), so you would not notice big differences in their performances. The operating system is what makes the difference because these devices come with different Android customizations. OnePlus and Xiaomi Mi 10 have definitely more advanced customizations than Meizu 17. In each case, you get the support to 5G connectivity thanks to a Snapdragon X55 modem paired with the Snapdragon 865 mobile platform.

Camera

Meizu 17, Xiaomi Mi 10, and OnePlus 8 are very nice camera phones, but they are far from the best camera phones out there. The most interesting is the Xiaomi Mi 10 thanks to its 108 MP main sensor supporting OIS and 8K video recording. Unfortunately, you do not get a telephoto lens supporting optical zoom with any of these devices. If you want this feature, you should go for their Pro variants.

Battery

Xiaomi Mi 10 is equipped with a bigger battery than OnePlus 8 Pro and Meizu 17; it lasts more on a single charge. Further, unlike its two rivals, it supports both wireless charging and reverse wireless charging. You even get very fast wireless charging technology with a 30W power.

Price

The price of Xiaomi Mi 10’s base configuration in China is €554/$608, OnePlus 8 starts off at €515/$565, and Meizu 17 is priced €477/$523 in its base variant. You can get more advanced variants with up to 256 GB of internal storage. Due to its bigger battery, the support of wireless charging (and reverse charging), and a great 108 MP rear camera, Xiaomi Mi 10 looks slightly more attractive than OnePlus 8 and Meizu 17. That is why, at least considering the listing prices, Xiaomi Mi 10 wins this specs comparison. Which would your choice be?

Meizu‘s launch event held today saw the Chinese company released a total of fourteen products. The Meizu 17 and 17 Pro are no doubt the star products but the other products include the HD60 noise-cancelling headphones and 10,000mAh Supercharged power bank. Here’s a rundown of other products that were also launched.

Meizu supercharged GaN three-port charger

Just like other GaNchargersin the market, Meizu’s GaN three-port charger is manufactured using gallium nitride semiconductors. The use of gallium nitride semiconductor materials has the advantages of super thermal conductivity, high-temperature resistance, acid and alkali resistance, and greatly reduces the size of the charger.

Meizu GaN three-port charger features an ultra-high 65W power support. It is fully compatible with QC3.0, FCP, PD3.0, AFC, PPS, PE2.0 and other fast charging protocols. The charger is designed with three ports – two USB-C and one USB-A output port. Any single port can output 65W full power when used.

The charger is priced at 199 yuan (~$28) and will go on sale soon.

Meizu supercharged wireless pad

The Meizu supercharged wireless pad uses a zero ridgeline minimalist design style.  It has a pure white comfortable non-slip liquid silicone pad. The wireless charging pad also features a large active silent cooling fan. The 23-blade fan design greatly improves heat dissipation.

The charger comes with up to 27W power support for the Meizu 17 Pro and can also provide up to 10W output for other Qi-standard gadgets.

The charger adopts a 169 yuan (~$23) price tag. It is presently on pre-sale at Meizu official website, Meizu Tmall official flagship store, Meizu authorized online store, Meizu official website, Meizu speciality store, Jingdong, and Suning. Meizu will reduce the price to 129 yuan for those buying the Meizu 17 Pro mobile phone.

Meizu also launched a couple of PANDAER 17 series products including a cotton t-shirt, a branded case for the Meizu 17 series and a jelly bag. Also unveiled is the Lifeme backpack, camera bag and a silicone case for the Meizu 17. All the products will go on sale from May 11.

The post Meizu launches a wireless charging pad, GaN charger, Backpack and more! appeared first on Gizmochina.

Meizu’s biggest smartphone launch of 2020 is here and the company has announced not one, but two new flagship-grade smartphones for China. Staying true to its minimalistic design, the phone slims down the bezels on the side and adds a horizontal camera housing at the back featuring four cameras in total. The Meizu 17 Pro is the company’s most powerful flagship for the first half of 2020 while Meizu 17 comes as a slightly cheaper alternative.

Meizu 17 & Meizu 17 Pro Design

The Meizu 17 and Meizu 17 Pro come with a simple punch-hole design upfront. The two phones feature an advanced CoF packaging technology which increases the screen to body ratio by limiting the lower bezel to just 3.3mm. The Meizu 17 duo come with a 6.6-inch custom Samsung AMOLED display with a 19.5:9 aspect ratio and 92.2% screen to body ratio. The AMOLED panel supports 100% DCI-P3 color gamut with a 90Hz high refresh rate and 180Hz touch sampling rate. The display panel has a peak brightness of 1100 nits with a pixel density of 390 ppi. You get a 0.15-sec fast screen fingerprint sensor on the front as well.

Meizu has always given due importance its flagship designs. The new Meizu 17 weights 199 grams and is just 8.5mm thick. The phone isn’t top or bottom-heavy as Meizu has used a balanced design to make it comfortable to hold. The standard Meizu 17 comes in three colors at launch: Black, Dark Green, and White.

Note that the biggest difference between the Meizu 17 and the 17 Pro is in the material of the body. The Meizu 17 Pro comes in a premium ceramic body in white, black, and light green colors.

The company also justified its decision to add a 2.9mm diameter camera on the top right corner because it believes this position creates the least amount of visual interference. Meizu explained at the event that we are used to reading from left to right and having the selfie camera on the right won’t hinder our reading experience. Furthermore, the company is making full use of the punch-hole camera by using it as a battery indicator. The phone also boasts of stereo speakers and Meizu claims that the sound output has increased by 30% as compared to its predecessor.

Meizu 17 & Meizu 17 Pro Specs

Both the models come with the flagship 2.84GHz Snapdragon 865 5G chipset under its hood with support for SA /NSA 5G. The company employs a new mSmart 5G technology inside its new flagships which reportedly improves its battery life when using the new-age cellular network. Meizu claims that mSmart 5G is fast and stable, so the Meizu 17 can last up to 4 hours and 25 minutes longer after turning on this special mode as compared to the regular 5G mode. The phone’s battery efficiency is also attributed to the 360-degree surround antenna design that will ensure a stable network connection.

The Meizu 17 has 8GB RAM onboard with up to 256GB of UFS 3.1 storage. The biggest difference between the standard and the Pro model is the presence of LPDDR5. The Meizu 17 Pro comes with the new-age LPDDR5 standard and UFS 3.1 as standard across its variants. Meizu claims that the Pro version’s AnTuTu score goes up to 600K.

The Meizu 17 and the 17 Pro feature a 4500mAh battery inside with 30W Super mCharge fast charging technology that promises 56% in half an hour. Meizu claims that the Meizu 17 can easily outlast other flagships like Huawei P40 Pro, Xiaomi Mi 10, and OPPO Find X2 Pro in a typical battery test – all thanks to its mSmart 5G technology. Note that only the Pro model comes with the Super Wireless mCharge 27W charging solution that can charge up to 47% in 30 minutes. The Pro model also supports reverse wireless charging.

The new Meizu flagship comes with mEngine 3.0 that improves the gaming performance of the device. It also features the new One Mind AI 4.0 that significantly improves the fluency of the UI (35% improvement over One Mind 3.0). The phone supports NFC, Wi-Fi 6 as well as eID.

Meizu 17 & Meizu 17 Pro Cameras

The Meizu 17 series come with a quad-camera setup in a horizontal camera housing. The standard 17 model features a 64MP Sony IMX686 f/1.8 primary camera with a 12MP f/1.9 portrait camera, a 5MP dedicated f/1.9 macro camera that can take shots as close as 2.5cm, and finally, a 118° 8MP f/2.2 ultra-wide-angle lens.

The Meizu 17 Pro features a much more powerful camera setup. It consists of the same 64MP IMX686 f/1.8 primary camera but features an 8MP f/2.4 79mm telephoto camera too. With the help of these two sensors, the phone can capture up to 8x lossless zoom samples with a focal length range of 26mm-210mm.

Another big highlight of the Pro’s camera setup is the brand new Sony IMX616 32MP ultra-wide-angle camera lens. This f/2.2 aperture lens can capture extremely wide 129° camera samples. The Meizu 17 Pro is also the world’s first smartphone to use the Samsung S5K33D 3D depth-sensing camera that brings hardware-level portrait blur to photos and even videos and adds unique features to the device like 3D wallpapers and AR tools. Meizu has said that it will add more AR features to its Flyme 8.1 OS in the future to take advantage of this hardware.

Upfront you have a powerful 20MP camera taking care of your selfies. The company claims that the front camera now features the third generation night mode algorithms (Super Night Mode 3.0) which ensure clear and bright selfies even in low light situations.

Meizu will be launching the Meizu 17 series on May 8. Apart from being flagship devices, they will be also the first 5G smartphones from the company. Like any other Chinese brand, it has also been teasing the features of its upcoming handsets. Today, the brand revealed the premium Meizu 17 Pro will have support for 27W fast wireless charging.

For the last couple of years, OEMs have been releasing smartphones with faster wired charging solutions. This year, the trend has moved on to wireless charging as well.

The current fastest wireless charging phones are Huawei P40 Pro Plus and Oppo Ace 2 respectively at 40W. On the other hand, Meizu 17 Pro’s wireless charging speed will be maxed at 27W, which is slightly lower than the 30W solutions offered by Mi 10 series and OnePlus 8 Pro.

Earlier, Meizu confirmed he battery capacity of Meizu 17 series to be 4,500 mAh with support for 30W wired charging. The new teaser only reveals the wireless charging speed but does not say how much time it will take to fill the entire cell.

Yesterday, the brand revealed Android 10-baed Flyme 8.1 will debut on the Meizu 17 series. Also, it will be launching a number of accessories like Super mCharge Power bank and a GaN (Gallium Nitride) charger at the same event.

UP NEXT: Meizu 17 Rumor Roundup: Specs, Launch and All we know about the new Flagships

The post Official: Meizu 17 Pro will support 27W wireless charging appeared first on Gizmochina.

Meizu 17 series will be debuting on May 8 as flagship phones of the brand. The Meizu 17 and Meizu 17 Pro duo will be the first 5G smartphones from the company. According to the latest teaser by the brand on Weibo, they will be also the first devices from the manufacturer to run Android 10 with Flyme 8.1 skin on top of it.

Meizu is popular for its design among geeks worldwide. Similarly, it is known for Flyme Android Skin in its home country China. Sadly, the current latest version of the software called Flyme 8 is still based on Android Pie.

Finally, that will be changing with the introduction of Android 10-baed Flyme 8.1 on Meizu 17 series. Unfortunately, the teaser shared by the company does not reveal anything about the new version of its mobile software.

However, we do know that the latest software will be adopting the native Android 10 dark mode. For the unaware, dark mode on Meizu smartphones is known as Night Mode and its present since Flyme 7.

With the release of Flyme 8, the Night Mode was updated to version 2.0 with new features and improvements. Now, once again with Flyme 8.1, it is expected to get a facelift utilizing stock option offered by Google.

Anyway, we will know more about Flyme 8.1 at the launch event of Meizu 17 series. The brand might even announce the list of eligible devices for the update.

Meizu will be officially launching the Meizu 17 series of flagship smartphones with 5G connectivity on May 8. Ahead of it, the brand has revealed most of the specifications of these forthcoming devices. It has been also teasing the announcement of several accessories like Super mCharge power bank. Today, the company has also revealed to release a new GaN charger.

Chinese smartphone maker Meizu has already confirmed its Meizu 17 series to come with GaN (Gallium Nitride) charger. The in-box charger will operate at a maximum rate of 30W, which the phone will support to fill its 4,500 mAh battery.

Besides that, the company will be also launching a separate GaN charger for multi-purpose. According to the teaser poster, this charger will have three ports and a foldable plug. Also, although the Weibo post does not say anything about the capacity of the upcoming accessory, it is expected to operate at a higher capacity than what the brand’s upcoming flagship series will support.

Gallium Nitride chargers are not new as they are becoming quite popular since last year. OEMs like Oppo, Realme, and Nubia are now providing GaN charger in-box with their products like Oppo Reno Ace, Realme X50 Pro 5G, and Nubia Red Magic 5G. 

Additionally, companies like Huawei and Xiaomi are also selling their standalone Nitride chargers.

After several months of silence, Meizu is preparing to launch a new series of smartphones: Meizu 17. It will be composed of at least three models: Meizu 17, 17 Pro and 17T. Just a few days are separating us from the official launch and, thanks to several leaks and rumors, we learned almost everything about the specifications. In this article, we gathered all the most reliable pieces of information we got until now in order to give you a complete overview of the new upcoming flagship lineup. Note that a lot of info is still based on rumors and unofficial sources, so take everything with a pinch of salt unless we say it has been officially confirmed by the company.

Meizu 17 series rumor roundup

Design

Thanks to several leaked renders, we had the chance to see the whole design of the new Meizu 17 which will be similar to its variants. The handset will come with a glass back and an aluminum frame. But the Pro variant, as officially confirmed by the company, will ship with a ceramic chassis, as well as a curved display. For its previous flagships, Meizu adopted a unique solution in order to get rid of bezels around the display: it always guaranteed a symmetric design by reducing the bezels without adopting a notch or other similar solutions. This year, Meizu will go mainstream by opting for a punch-hole display with a selfie camera on the top right corner. The volume balancer will be placed on the right side of the phone, alongside the power key. On the rear side, there will be a quad-camera setup placed horizontally in a unique camera module, with a flash ring including multiple LEDs in the middle. There will be at least three color variants: Dark Green, Fantasy Unicorn White, and 17-Degree Gray.

Display

Meizu said that Meizu 17 will sport a fully-custom Samsung Super AMOLED display supporting a high 90 Hz refresh rate. The resolution is expected to be Full HD+. Naturally, we expect the Meizu 17 Pro to come at least with the same Super AMOLED display. The panel is tipped to have a 6.5-inch diagonal and it will surely come with a punch hole at the top-right corner, as mentioned above and as you can see in the renders. The display will have very narrow bezels and it is likely to have curved edges on the Pro version. The company revealed that the Meizu 17 will come with mEngine 3.0 horizontal linear motor for better haptic feedback. Naturally, there will also be an in-display fingerprint reader.

Hardware & Software

As Meizu already confirmed, Meizu 17 and 17 Pro will have a top-tier hardware department. It will include the Snapdragon 865 chipset by Qualcomm with 5G support as well as a fast UFS 3.1 internal storage: UFS 3.1 is the latest and best technology for mobile storages. The Pro variant should also come with LPDDR5 RAM, while the vanilla version is said to sport an LPDDR4X RAM. Leaked benchmarks showed that Meizu 17 is able to reach more than 580,000 points on AnTuTu benchmark. However, the device spotted on benchmarks is said to be just a prototype: the final score of the flagship may be way higher. There will also be a technology called OneMind 4.0 AI for improving performance through software optimizations. The Qualcomm Snapdragon 865 found on the Meizu 17 and 17 Pro paired with a Snapdragon X55 modem will allow for download speeds up to 2,457 Mbps and supports SA/NSA dual mode 5G network. The phones will also support WiFi 6 with download speeds up to 4,151 Mbps. The lineup will come with stereo speakers for a better multimedia experience. Android 10 will be obviously installed out of the box, customized by Flyme OS that is the company’s own Android personalization.

Camera

In an official teaser poster, Meizu confirmed that Meizu 17 will feature a quad-camera setup where the primary sensor will be a 64 MP Sony IMX686 lens. The phone will also feature a 3D depth sensor: while the company has not revealed information about the 3D depth sensor, it is believed to be a LiDAR scanner used in iPad Pro. Unfortunately, we have no info about the other sensors of the rear cameras. On the front panel, there will be a 32 MP selfie snapper housed in a punch hole.

Battery

Meizu 17 will be powered by a large 4,500 mAh battery which should help the phone get through an entire day even with 5G enabled. The battery is said to support a 40W fast charging technology on the Meizu 17 Pro and 30W fast charging on the vanilla Meizu 17. The Pro version will also support wireless charging with the Super wireless mCharge technology. It is also said to ship with a fast GaN charger supporting a high power in a compact body. Meizu 17 will lack wireless charging. Meizu 17 achieved 11.77 Hours in the internal battery endurance test.

The post Meizu 17 Rumor Roundup: Specs, Launch and All we know about the new Flagships appeared first on Gizmochina.

Meizu is expected to launch the Meizu 17 and 17 Pro this month in China. Before now, there have been several leaks and official teasers which capture some details of the phone. One of such details is the presence of a 4500mAh battery with support for 30W Super mCharge. The device is also tipped to ship with a GaN charger onboard the retail box.

Meizu accessories have now released a poster teasing the impending launch of a Super mCharge USB-C Power bank. The poster shows the power bank will have a flat design but will feature an LED display which possible would show the battery level and other parameters. The power bank is also likely to feature support for 30W fast charging.

The Meizu 17 series will be released online on May 8th, so we expect the power bank to be launched the same day.

Another day, another Meizu 17 teaser poster. Meizu has confirmed that its upcoming flagship has a punch-hole display. The Weibo post also revealed the supplier of the display.

The Meizu 17 will have its punch-hole at the top right corner of the display and Meizu says it is a fully-custom Samsung Super AMOLED display. Based on this, we expect the Meizu 17 to be able to measure up to other flagships such as the OnePlus 8 series in terms of display quality. It has already been confirmed that the display has a 90Hz refresh rate.

Press renders have depicted the punch hole of the Meizu 17 as being pretty small in size, and we can’t wait to see if it is true.

The phone will have a Snapdragon 865 processor, UFS 3.1 storage, 64MP quad rear cameras, stereo speakers, 30W fast charging support, and Wi-Fi 6. It is scheduled to launch on Friday, May 8.

The post Meizu 17 confirmed to have a custom Samsung AMOLED display appeared first on Gizmochina.

Meizu has scheduled an event for May 8 to unveil Meizu 17 and Meizu 17 Pro in China. These upcoming smartphones will be the company’s first 5G-enabled handsets. The brand has been teasing the phones’ features on a daily basis. Today, the company revealed them to come with mEngine 3.0 horizontal linear motor.

Most value-flagship smartphones lack good haptics but thankfully, OEMs are now listening to the feedback from users. Almost all so-called flagship killers launched this year feature better vibration motors than their predecessors. Hence, the forthcoming Meizu 17 series will not be an exception according to the latest teaser by the company on Weibo.

Meizu calls its haptic system as mEngine whose version 2.0 debuted on Meizu 15 in 2018. The Meizu 16 series had the same but this year, the Meizu 17 series will be featuring mEngine 3.0 horizontal linear motor. This latest version was introduced in the Meizu 16s series last year.

Unfortunately, the company does not go into details about mEngine 3.0 in the teaser. But assures it to offer peak performance by which we can expect it to offer better haptic feedback than the previous generation and on par with the Meizu 16s series.

The previous teasers from the brand have revealed some of the key features of the Meizu 17 series such as 90Hz refresh rate display, 30W fast charging, ceramic back (only Pro), 3D depth sensor (only Pro), stereo speakers, and even exclusive PANDAER cases.

Additionally, the company has officially discontinued the Meizu 16s Pro, the last-gen Meizu flagship smartphone with a special Commemorative Edition.

Earlier today (1st May 2020), it was officially confirmed that the latest flagship series, the Meizu 17, will arrive with 90Hz high refresh rate display panels across the lineup. In other words, the fast and smoother display will be a standard across the premium flagship series.
