After making a comeback in the flagship smartphone market with the Meizu 20 series, it seems the Geely-owned company is now planning to throw its hat in the foldable phone category. Meizu’s vice president recently confirmed the company will launch a folding smartphone by the end of this year and we even saw a patent for the same. Now while we wait for more concrete information, a tipster has revealed the first Meizu foldable will arrive with a whopping 200MP main camera.

As per a screenshot shared by WHYLAB on Weibo, the upcoming Meizu foldable, likely to be called Meizu 20 Fold, will be equipped with a 200MP main shooter. The smartphone can be seen to be linked with the ISOCELL HP1 sensor, which is older than the latest HP2 found on the Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra. Nevertheless, the sensor is said to offer impressive capabilities like 8K recording, high-end pixel-binning, and fast auto-focus.

This could give the Meizu 20 Fold an upper hand over the upcoming Galaxy Z Fold 5, at least in the camera department. But that’s just a far-fetched assumption because, without proper ISP and software to back it, even a 200MP camera sensor is barely useful over other sensors. The brand’s latest flagship— the Meizu 20 Pro— comes with up to 50MP main cameras, however, we can’t comment on its photography performance as of yet.

Details about the Meizu foldable are pretty limited. A recent patent has suggested that it may take the form of a flip phone, similar to Samsung’s Galaxy Z Flip models, and may come with a new hinge design. We should be learning more about the smartphone in the days to come. Stay tuned for the updates.

Foldable smartphones have been making waves in the tech industry over the past few years, with several major brands launching their own models. Recently, OnePlus announced its plan to launch a folding screen device later this year. And today, it has been reported Meizu, a Chinese electronics company, is the latest to join the trend, announcing it wants to release its first foldable smartphone by the end of 2023.

Meizu’s Executive Vice President, Huang Zhipan, has reportedly announced that the company will be releasing its first foldable smartphone by the end of 2023. While no further details about the product have been disclosed, the introduction of a foldable smartphone to Meizu’s product line is expected to offer consumers more diverse options to choose from.

Meizu has primarily focused on producing smartphones and portable accessories in the past, but the brand’s smartphone business has been relatively quiet recently. The company’s last major smartphone release, the Meizu 18, was introduced in 2021. However, Meizu is now preparing to launch a new flagship series, known as the Meizu 20.

Meizu 20 lineup should include two smartphones— Meizu 20 and Meizu 20 Pro. It has been reported that the Pro models will arrive with a 10-bit Samsung E6 LTPO AMOLED display that will offer 1440p resolution and 120hz refresh rate. It could feature a 50MP primary camera with OIS, and be fueled by a 5,000 mAh battery with support for 50W wireless and 80W wired charging.

Additionally, the Meizu 20 Pro has been also spotted on AnTuTu with the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 SoC, Android 13, 12GB RAM, and 512GB storage. Currently, the launch date of the new series has not been revealed. The lineup could arrive in Spring this year.
