It still has that razor blade slimness with chamfered edges alongside a thickness of 7.5mm and just weighs 154g. The Meizu 16X has its own fair share of bezel reduction with well rounded corners.
Retaining the AMOLED screen from the Meizu 16 ,the smartphone has a decent colourful display with rich blacks. The size is fairly large at 6.0-inch and would come in handy for watching movies or playing games. You also get to enjoy a detailed view with a 1080 X 2160 pixel resolution.
