Meizu’s recently released 16s is the company’s
flagship device for 2019 but according to new speculations, Meizu is hard at
work on its successor which will also bring 5G capabilities for the first time
in the manufacturer’s lineup. An image from the recent China Unicom Partner
Conference revealed the slogan for the upcoming device reading “meet the new 5G
era, Meizu 17 is coming”. We've also got some leaked hands-on images courtesy
of a Weibo user.
According to speculations, the new phone will adopt
the portless design from the Meizu Zero concept phone, which failed to make its
way to the market after its crowdfunding campaign flopped. Alongside the unique
design, The Meizu 17 will also feature flagship-grade internals as the true
successor of the 16s.
If the Meizu 17 is to resemble the Meizu Zero we can
expect it to feature a 6-inch Super AMOLED display with a built-in fingerprint
scanner. In terms of cameras, we should see a 20MP selfie shooter on the front
with a dual 20MP + 12MP combo on the back. The phone will probably run on the
Snapdragon 855 and will come with 6/8GB RAM and 128/256GB storage options.
