Meizu introduced its 18 series at the beginning of March, but back then the company said nothing about global availability. Now it has suddenly decided to start selling the devices online through AliExpress, and the prices start from US$ 819.
Both the Meizu 18 and Meizu 18 Pro are
available with Flyme 9 out of the box, but the listing also says “China
Version” and not “Global Version”, strongly suggesting there is no Google
Mobile Services on these flagships. The Meizu 18 has three versions. The most
affordable $819 units come in Purple with 8GB RAM and 128GB storage. For just
$50 extra, you can get double the internal storage.
The most expensive option of the vanilla
Meizu 18 is US$ 899 with 12GB RAM and 256GB of storage and is offered only in
White. The Meizu 18 Pro was introduced White, Blue, and Gray, but only the last
one is sold on AliExpress. It costs US$ 1,019 and comes with 8GB RAM and 256GB
storage.
