In the beginning of August the Meizu 16 arrived in
two iterations - a vanilla version and a Plus variant with a bigger screen and
battery. According to Jack Wong, Meizu CEO, a third addition to the 16
portfolio is coming in September with the name 16X (previously rumored as Meizu
X8).
The alleged upper midranger just got benchmarked at
AnTuTu. A Meizu phone with the model number m1872 scored 164,726 with a
Snapdragon 710 chipset, hinting this is indeed the Meizu 16X.
The listing also reveals the phone will have Android
Oreo 8.1, likely used as a base for the latest Flyme UI. The Meizu m1872 will
have 6 GB RAM and 64 GB storage, but hopefully will also have a microSD slot to
expand.
The resolution of the phone is an interesting one -
it is 2160 x 1080 pixels, or an 18:9 ratio. It means the Meizu 16X most likely
will stay away from any notches, unlike plenty of other fellow Chinese
companies like Huawei, Xiaomi, Oppo, vivo, etc.
