The additions and improvements are as follows:

You can easily remove unwanted objects from an image by circling around it. AI will recognize the object, remove that, and generate what the contents in the area could look like. To use the feature you can go to Image Editing > AI Tools > Remove in the gallery app.

Bug fixes:

• Fixed an issue in Calendar
• The issue related to changing the wallpaper has also been fixed

The Meizu 20 Pro has also received the generative AI-based object eraser feature with the Flyme 10.5.5.1A update. However it didn’t get the ability to generate images based on text prompts. In addition to that, it also received some bug fixes.

The post Meizu 21 Flyme AIOS internal testing begins: supports a bunch of AI features appeared first on Gizmochina.

While last year’s …… oh sorry, this year’s Meizu 20 leaves a lot to be desired, it was cheap enough to entice some people on a budget to buy it. So with the Meizu 21 going up in price 8 months from now, what’s it got to offer that would make me shell out that $470 to pick it up? I guess the biggest reason would be its looks.

Design

The phone gives me a bit of a strange feeling, it looks like the bastard child of Samsung and NOTHING phone. But I have to say, it does look quite good. Maybe it’s because all the other phones are so flashy in design, that it looks like the Meizu 21 is particularly minimalistic.

And they’ve put a little more thought into the flash: R! G! B! It beats to the music and can also be used to check the current volume level, quite an interesting little design. The vibration motor, which Meizu has always been proud of, is as good as ever, and the IR blaster and NFC are not absent. If only the IP54 could be replaced with an IP68, this phone would be perfect.

Display

With most cell phones, you can tell at a glance what brand it is when you look at the back of them. People like us who have reviewed a lot of phones can even accurately name the model number of each one. But I believe nobody can recognize a phone by its front, except for the Meizu 21 white version.

This white bezel will let you know it’s a Meizu phone without lighting up the screen, and the bezels aren’t equal width by the looks, they’re truly equal width. The front camera will also be a little smaller than other phones. All in all the Meizu 21 from the front is both unique and beautiful.

Well, when you tap on the screen, you might be a bit disappointed. I didn’t expect to see this 1080p Samsung E6 panel in a world where 1200p and 1440p screens are everywhere. Although the Meizu 21 will be a little smaller than other phones, the actual PPI of 321 is still more painful for literature lovers.

Combined with the PWM dimming, the peak brightness and viewing angle are not as good as other phones in the same price range, I’d hardly say this is a good screen. Since current technology hasn’t been able to get rid of the black matrix completely, the black line also makes it look less than perfect on the front panel.

All in all, this screen isn’t great in terms of display, and anyone looking to buy the Meizu 21 shouldn’t expect too much from this screen.

Benchmark & Gaming

Unsurprisingly, the Meizu 21 uses a Snapdragon 8 Gen 3. But surprisingly, the performance of the Meizu 21 looks good and the thermal dissipation is quite better than last year’s Meizu 20. Does this mean that gaming isn’t as bad as it used to be either?

Yes, the gaming experience is much improved on the Meizu 21 as well. While it consumes more power and gets hotter than other 8 Gen 3 phones, it at least lets you keep your frame rates high for long periods of time. Well, shortcomings in performance Meizu has finally made up for, I guess.

Camera

There are three cameras on the Meizu 21, and minus the useless depth of field camera, there are really only two cameras on the Meizu 21 that you’ll use regularly.

As you know, the 200 MP primary camera is there to make up for the lack of a telephoto camera, and the zoomed-in photos can still have good clarity, not exactly a gimmick. But Meizu doesn’t seem to think so. The Meizu 21 photo seems to be 20MP instead of 200MP, and not as sharp as the 50MP Redmi K70.

Maybe the 200MP mode Meizu hasn’t been debugged yet? So let’s zoom in with auto mode to take a look. It doesn’t win over the K70 either at 2x or 4x. I’m pretty sure my hands aren’t shaking and in focus. Just …… I am speechless. You can just use this 200MP main camera as a normal 12MP one.

But hey, without zooming in, both cameras are not bad. The front camera can also record 4K 60fps video with image stabilization. If you don’t need much in the way of cameras, the Meizu 21 will barely meet your needs.

Battery & Charging

Charging and battery life aren’t the Meizu 21’s strong points, so you guys can see what it’s probably at by looking at the graphs.

Conclusion

Meizu is still the same as ever. it’s always been different from other phones and has its own unique strengths, like the white front panel, Home Indicator with 3D Touch, and Flyme OS. I appreciate their personalities, but I wouldn’t recommend the Meizu 21 to the non-fanbase because there are just too many phones out there that are more desirable to buy recently, like realme GT5 Pro.

Meizu will announce the Meizu 21 featuring the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 on Nov. 30 in China. The company recently revealed the front design of the smartphone. Today, it rolled out a couple of posters to confirm its display resolution and battery size.

Meizu 21 display resolution, battery size

Meizu has officially verified that the Meizu 21 comes with a 6.55-inch Samsung AMOLED display. The latest promotional materials affirm that the screen will boast a 1.5K resolution and feature 1920Hz PWM dimming. Furthermore, the Meizu 21’s display has obtained SGS low blue light certification and flicker-free certification. The screen will offer an amazing viewing experience as it is flanked by symmetrical 1.74mm bezels on all four sides.

The Meizu 21 has the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3, a chipset that is also available in flagship phones of various brands like Xiaomi, iQOO, Nubia, Realme, and OnePlus. However, the Meizu 21 promises enhanced performance compared to its competitors, attributing this advantage to the integration of the company’s OneMind 10.5 AI engine. This engine promises Meizu-specific customizations for an optimized user experience.

Meizu also confirmed that the Meizu 21 packs a 4,800mAh battery. According to the brand, with OneMind 10.5 and the energy-efficient Samsung AMOLED screen, the phone achieves an impressive 8.2 hours in extreme endurance mode, testing from 0 to 100%. In other words, the Meizu 21, when subjected to a demanding test simulating heavy usage from a fully charged (100%) to a completely depleted battery, demonstrated an impressive endurance or battery life of 8.2 hours. Meizu claimed that this performance surpasses that of competitors on the same platform with a 5,100mAh battery that achieves 7.4 hours in similar testing.

The 3C certification for the Meizu 21 indicates potential support for 80W fast charging. Interestingly, Meizu has not yet provided teasers for the Meizu 21 Pro, hinting that it might not be launched simultaneously with the Meizu 21 on Nov. 30.

Back in March, Meizu introduced its Meizu 20 series of smartphones, featuring the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 chipset. Now, there’s a lot of excitement surrounding the possible launch of the Meizu 21 series, especially with the recent unveiling of Qualcomm’s third-generation Snapdragon 8 mobile platform, the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3.

Meizu’s Mysterious Announcement for October 27

Several major smartphone brands like Xiaomi, OPPO, OnePlus, and others have already announced their plans to use this latest platform, with Xiaomi leading the way.

The company’s official statement says “Pursuing the ultimate product experience, breaking the boundaries of technology once again through action.”

It’s worth noting that Meizu’s 20 series came relatively late in the cycle of Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 releases.

The Pro variant of the Meizu 21 series is expected to feature a 4,920mAh battery (with a typical capacity of 5,020mAh), while the standard Meizu 21 will have a 4,700mAh battery (with a typical capacity of 4,700mAh). In terms of design, there may be similarities with its predecessor, but potential enhancements could include a 50MP primary camera equipped with RGB ring LED flash technology.

At a recent Qualcomm event, Meizu was listed as one of the initial manufacturers for the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 chipset, further fueling speculation that the Meizu 21 series might launch before the end of 2023. Keep an eye out for updates and leaks regarding the Meizu 21 series.
