Design and Display
Except being just a bit bigger, the Meizu 16 Plus has the same premium build has the Meizu 16. It is available in black and white just like the other model with the glass casing. There’s the aluminium frame and a 6 layer glass topping at the rear. It is nice that Meizu decides to tackle the issue of smudges that most of the smartphones made of glass have by implementing an oleophobic coating.
To the display section, the Meizu 16 Plus comes with a bigger 6.5-inch screen. You’ve got about the same level of reduction in bezels with a uniform bezel at the top and chin. On the other hand, the resolution is maintained at 1080 X 2160 pixels which means a reduction in pixel density with the increase in size.
Battery and Camera
Considering the smartphone is bigger in size and there is no added feature per say. That translates to more space for a bigger battery which is exactly what the smartphone have. It comes with 3, 570mAh battery and mCharge 4.0, Meizu’s fast charge technology. Likewise, the flagship seems to miss the point of having wireless charge on board just like the Meizu 16.
As for the camera on the smartphone ,it does have exactly the same set of cameras as the Meizu 16. Arranged in the same manner has the ordinary model, there is a 12MP main camera and another of 20MP which is mainly for surrounding details. At the front, you have a 20MP selfie sensor with smart features like portrait mode and a number of other AI smarts.
Hardware and Software
The changes made here is only in the memory and storage space available on the smartphone as you still have the same chipset. That being said, there is Qualcomm Snapdragon 845 processor here with as usual Adreno 630 GPU. The real changes comes in the higher variant which has 8GB RAM with either 256GB or 128GB storage space inside.
