Meizu 16 was unveiled last month along with a Meizu
16 Plus, but the company CEO promised a more affordable device with Snapdragon
710 that will be called Meizu 16X. The phone now appeared with a model number
M872Q at TENAA, revealing its front and back, along with all the specs.
Since the Meizu 16 Plus was initially called M892Q
and the vanilla Meizu 16 was M882Q, it is pretty safe to consider this phone as
the Meizu 16X. We are also sure this is the Qualcomm platform since only the
710 has cores that clock up to 2.2 GHz.
Meizu is one of the last mohicans to stay away from
the notch and it appears the new phone will keep its bezels straight. The 6”
AMOLED display will come with Full HD+ resolution. The SoC will have 6 GB RAM to
keep it company, while storage is listed only as 64 GB. There is no word on
microSD slot - it would be really disappointing if Meizu has decided to skip
it. There is a dual camera setup on the back with 20 MP + 12 MP combo, while
the selfie snapper is 20 MP.
Unsurprisingly, the Meizu 16X will have Android
Oreo. The body has dimensions of 151.2 x 73.6 x 7.5 mm and will house a 3,000
mAh battery. The weight of the device is 154 grams. Colors are roughly
translated as Matte Black, Ceramic White, and Frosted Gold, but pricing and
availability are expected to be unveiled at an official event sometime in
September.
