The smartphone and the automobile industry
have had many collaborations in the past. Now, it seems that the upcoming Meizu
17 will also be a part of this trend as render leaks showcase an Audi Special
Edition for the 5G smartphone.
According to a leaked image, the Meizu X
Audi Sport co-branding can be seen in a promotional image. This image depicts
the Meizu 17 in a dark color alongside the Audi RS17 branding at the bottom of
the rear panel. An Audi sports car is also visible in the back to showcase the
collaboration. Notably, the color pattern the Meizu Special Edition follows is
similar to the Audi RS6 black, with angular design also being a prevalent
theme.
The quad camera module placed horizontally
also adds to the overall aesthetics, making it look very appealing. Although a
slight difference between the base Meizu 17 model and the Audi Special Edition
is that the light ring is not present, rather a simple LED unit can be found.
Unfortunately, this news has not been announced officially, so take this report
with a grain of salt for now. However, the images do make it seem likely.
For those unaware, the Meizu 17 is the
upcoming flagship 5G handset from the company. It will feature top notch specs,
like the Qualcomm Snapdragon 865 SoC that supports 5G, thanks to its X55 Modem.
The standard version is touted to feature LPDDR4X memory while the high end
variant will sport the new LPDDR5 memory. Although there are plenty of more
rumors, we will have to wait for the official launch event, which is just
around the corner.
