Design and Display
The OEM’s design team decided to go on with the tiny top and bottom bezels rather than the notch design. However, when compared to its predecessor, the bezels here are way thinner. Anyways, the top bezel houses the earpiece, front camera and a couple of sensors. Nothing appears at the base region other than the bottom bezel.
Around the back, you have the two cameras laid on top of each other while the LED flash ring appears beneath them. There’s no physical fingerprint sensor because it’s present underneath the AMOLED display. Speaking of the display, it’s a 6.2-inch touchscreen working with 1080 x 2232 pixels resolution.
Battery and Camera
One of the exceptionalities about the phone’s battery segment is the 24W mCharge technology. It enables a rapid charging ability on the smartphone; 1 hour 30 minutes max for a 3,600mAh battery. Meizu 16s can be charged through the Type-C 1.0 USB port.
The 48MP Sony Camera with f/1.7 aperture makes the top spot of the smartphone’s primary photographic elements. Its actions are stabilized by the Optical Image Stabilisation (OIS). In support is a 20MP shooter that handles background isolation during portrait photography. A six-LED flash is available to brighten images in darkly lit conditions. Social media fans can derive pleasure from the photographic expertise of the 20MP fore shooter.
Hardware and Software
Flyme 7.3, Meizu’s customized UX teams up with the Android 9.0 Pie OS in the software room. In the hardware zone, the Qualcomm Snapgradon 855 SoC is the chief commandant. Its 7nm process node allows it to run operations at super speed. Also, it is equipped with an octa-core 2.8GHz Kryo CPU and Addreno 640 GPU.
The phone’s lack of a MicroSD card slot entails that the internal storage can’t be expanded. Depending on the variant you purchase, the 128GB or 256GB ROM will serve you well when it comes to saving files. Subsequently, there are options of 6GB and 8GB RAM for multitasking duties.
Meizu 16s Pricing and Availability
