Original story continues…

At MWC 2025, Meizu showcased a range of smartphones, including the Note 22, mblu 22, and mblu 22 Pro. However, a mysterious device also appeared on display, sparking speculation among enthusiasts. The device is believed to be part of the next-generation Meizu 22 series, which is expected to launch later this year.

Meizu 22 may sport a new design

In the above image, a mystery device flaunting a new design can be seen placed beside the Meizu 21. The handset sports a white rear panel with an octagonal camera module featuring a round camera island inside. It is equipped with three cameras and an LED ring flash. This marks a significant shift from the Meizu 21’s vertically aligned triple-camera setup.

Meizu unveiled the Meizu 21 with the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 chip in November 2023. It was followed up with the Meizu 21 Pro, powered by the same chip, in February 2024. It is likely that the Meizu 22 lineup may include two models, such as the Meizu 22 and 22 Pro.

While the Meizu 22 was expected to launch in November 2024, the company did not unveil it. A report that surfaced in December revealed that the Meizu 22 series will launch this year with the Snapdragon 8 Elite chip onboard.

There’s a possibility that the Meizu 22 could be a compact phone with a small display, whereas the Pro edition may sport a larger display. Additionally, the front panel is set to maintain the brand’s classic white bezels. Now that the brand has reportedly teased the Meizu 22, it is likely that the 22 lineup may go official in the second quarter of this year in China.

The standard version could be priced around 4,000 Yuan (~$550), whereas the Pro model may cost around 5,000 Yuan (~$690). The phones are expected to introduce satellite communication and AI-driven enhancements, further improving user experience.
