The Meizu 16 will be the next flagship after the
Meizu 15 coming in August this year from Meizu. If that sounds surprising, it
is because the Meizu 15 is still a fresh new device out of Meizu factories.
That has not stopped Meizu’s founder to tease various features of the phone at
the community forum to fans. A newly leaked render of the handset has surfaced
today following more and more talk about the flagship in rumour circles.
The leaked image portrays the Meizu 16 to come with
extremely thin bezels on the top and bottom. This is in line with a particular
sketch that has been popping around here and there. The image was posted by a
Weibo user and we can’t vouch for the authenticity of the renders yet but this
is as close as we can get to it for now. We do know one particularly
interesting thing about the design of the Meizu 16. The Meizu 16 will have a higher screen-to-body ratio than the iPhone X. That is
anything above 85%. It is also going to feature an on-screen fingerprint
reader.
Meizu 16:
- 6GB+128GB : ¥ 3398 (US$ 527)
- 8GB+128GB : ¥ 3598 (US$ 559)
Meizu 16 Plus:
- 6GB+128GB : ¥ 3598 (US$ 559)
- 8GB+128GB : ¥ 3798 (US$ 590)
- 8GB+256GB : ¥ 4288 (US$ 666)
Apart from physical details, Meizu’s founder has
been quite active in sharing tidbits about the upcoming device. He recently
revealed that the Meizu 16 will be one of the most or even the most affordable
Snapdragon 845 handset around. Replying to a forum member, he said that the
Meizu 16 will cost US$ 615 or 4000 Yuan.
