Meizu 20 series will be arriving pretty soon as the latest flagship smartphone lineup from the brand. Recently, Meizu has started teasing the new smartphones on social media, revealing information in bits and pieces. So far, it has been confirmed that upcoming flagships will be powered by the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 processor under the hood. In the latest development, the OEM has confirmed the Meizu 20 series handsets will be equipped with an IR Blaster. Here are the details.

According to the latest teaser posted by the brand, the Meizu 20 series, which should include Meizu 20 and Meizu 20 Pro, will come with an IR Blaster. For the unaware, an IR blaster (Infrared Blaster) allows a smartphone to function as a remote control for various electronic devices, such as televisions, air conditioners, and set-top boxes. It lets users control these devices using their phones instead of a separate remote control.

This is the first time Meizu will be using this technology on its smartphones. As you may be aware, Xiaomi smartphones are often equipped with an IR blaster. In the past, Samsung also used to include this convenient sensor in their phones. However, this is no longer the case.

Reports have revealed that Meizu 20 series will run a new Flyme 10 OS and pack a Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 chip. It is reported to adopt a variable flat display (likely a 2K) with a new ultrasonic fingerprint 2.0 that supports 0.075 seconds of fast wet hand unlocking. Further, the lineup is said to be equipped with LPDDR5X RAM and UFS 4.0 storage. The launch date of the new series is still anyone’s guess. We’ll keep you posted.
