The Chinese consumer electronics company Meizu Technology Co. Ltd has made its comeback in India. Today, Meizu India officially launched the flagship smartphone the Meizu 16th with Snapdragon 845 chipset and 8GB RAM.

Though the Meizu made a debut in 2015, it couldn’t make it big. With this company has packed the top-of-the-line specifications to compete with OnePlus 6T and Xiaomi Pocophone F1. Priced at ₹39,999, the Meizu 16th will be an Amazon India exclusive.

Meizu 16th Specifications

Regarding specifications, the Meizu 16th sports a 6-inch Full HD+ Super AMOLED display with a 2160x1080 pixels resolution. It also features an in-display fingerprint scanner in similar lines with OnePlus 6T.

Powered by the latest Qualcomm Snapdragon 845 chipset and 8GB RAM, the flagship handset provides an inbuilt 128GB storage. Though the company has got other variants, it has packed only the 128GB storage variant (Morning White & Midnight Black) for the Indian market. The lack of microSD card support will surely disappoint the multimedia lovers who store loads of content on their device.

The flagship smartphone portraits an impressive 12mp + 20mp Sony flagship lenses setup with f/2.0 aperture. Though the company claims awesome dark photography, the reviews are not in favour of it.

When the flagship smartphones are shipped outright with Android 9 Pie, the Meizu 16th is still booting Flyme 7 based on Android 8.1 Oreo.

This dual 4G VoLTE handset supports all the latest connectivity options. There’s a 3010mAh battery equipped with mCharge fast charging support. The company boasts to provide 60% charge in 60 minutes. Not a great battery but still will be able to last a day.

What’s Your Opinion:

At ₹39,999, the Meizu 16th is definitely not the cheapest flagship handset to purchase. When compared with Asus, Honor, OnePlus, and Xiaomi, the Meizu 16th can’t score more ratings in the mid-range flagship segment.
