Meizu launches new flagship, possibly its very last smartphone
The Meizu 21 Pro is now official, the company’s new flagship device, and possibly the company’s very last smartphone. Well, Meizu announced earlier this month that it’s quitting the smartphone business to focus on AI.
Granted, the company could change its mind down the road and introduce new smartphones, possibly AI-centric ones. As things stand at the moment, however, Meizu has no plans to launch any new smartphones past the Meizu 21 Pro.
The Meizu 21 Pro has been announced, and it could be the company’s very last phone
That being said, this phone is quite powerful. Let’s talk about its design first, though. It resembles its predecessor, that’s for sure. The phone has flat sides, and it’s also flat on the front and the back.
There are four small circles on the back, three of which are reserved for the phone’s cameras. They all protrude from the backplate directly, and they’re vertically aligned on the left-hand side of the phone’s backplate.
There is a centered display camera hole at the top of the phone’s display. The bezels around that display are also quite thin. The power/lock button sits on the right-hand side, right below the volume up and down buttons.
The device has a large AMOLED display, while it also includes the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 SoC
The Meizu 21 Pro features a 6.79-inch QHD+ (3192 x 1368) LTPO AMOLED display. That display has a max refresh rate of 120Hz, and its brightness goes up to 1,250 nits. It also offers a 2,160Hz high-frequency PWM dimming and SGS Low Blue Light Eye Protection.
Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 processor fuels this smartphone. The company is offering the phone in 12GB and 16GB RAM variants. The former comes with 256GB of storage, while the latter is available in both 512GB and 1TB flavors. Meizu is using LPDDR5X RAM and UFS 4.0 storage for all models.
A 50-megapixel main camera (f/1.9 aperture, OIS+EIS) is backed by a 13-megapixel ultrawide unit (f/2.4 aperture), and a 10-megapixel telephoto camera (f/2.08 aperture, 3x optical zoom). A single 32-megapixel shooter (f/2.4 aperture) sits on the front.
80W wired charging is supported, in addition to 50W wireless charging
A 5,050mAh battery sits on the inside, while the device supports 80W wired charging. 50W wireless charging is also on offer, as is 10W reverse wireless charging. Quick Charge 4.0/USB PD3.0 PPS protocols are supported.
An in-display fingerprint scanner is also a part of the package, and it’s of the ultrasonic variety. The phone also has two speakers, while the mEngine haptic engine is also on offer. VC liquid cooling is on board too. Android 14 comes pre-installed with Flyme 10.5 on top of it. The phone is also IP68 certified for water and dust resistance.
The device launched in four colors
The Meizu 21 Pro comes in four colors. It comes in Glacier Blue, Laurel Green (vegan leather), Phantom White, and Starry Night Black colors. All models have a glass backplate except the green one.
The device measures 164.98 x 74.42 x 7.98mm, while it weighs 208 grams (vegan leather) / 214 grams (glass). The pricing starts at CNY4,999 ($695), and goes all the way up to CNY5,899 ($820).
