Snapdragon 8 Gen 3, 200MP camera, 5,000mAh battery, 80W fast charging - these are the highlights of the Meizu 21. Despite its sleek and compact appearance, this device boasts powerful internals. This article will summarize the latest hands-on images of the Meizu 21, allowing you to see what this device offers at a price of over 11 million VND, and whether it's worth your attention.
Let's start with the exterior. The Meizu 21 impresses with its incredibly elegant and refined design. The device's edges are perfectly flat, allowing it to stand firmly on any flat surface.
The back of the Meizu 21 is beautifully crafted and sophisticated. The triple camera setup follows a minimalist design approach, devoid of excessive colors, yet exuding a sense of luxury and sophistication.
The Meizu 21 is crafted with an aluminum frame and a glass back, measuring 156.7 x 75.3 x 7.9 mm and weighing 198g. It's remarkably slim and lightweight, providing users with comfortable handling. However, the unrounded frame edges may feel slightly sharp in the hand.
Unlike its predecessor, the Meizu 21 exudes less glitz. Its edges and back are all matte, providing users with a better grip experience, minimizing sweat and fingerprint marks.
The power and volume buttons are conveniently located on the right side, while the top edge remains completely vacant except for a microphone. The bottom edge houses the external speaker, USB-C port, SIM card slot, and another microphone. The device is IP54 water and dust resistant, enhancing durability and user peace of mind.
As mentioned earlier, the rear of the Meizu features a remarkably minimalist design with a prominent cluster of three cameras positioned at the top right corner. The main camera utilizes a 200MP S5KHP3 sensor, accompanied by a 12MP ultra-wide-angle lens and a 5MP depth-sensing camera.
Examining the last camera module, we find an RGB LED cluster. This RGB light serves various functions such as message notifications, incoming calls, and battery charging status, while also adding a striking and memorable accent to the design language.
On the front, we're greeted with a flat 6.55-inch display, adopting a hole-punch design housing a 32MP selfie camera. What sets the Meizu 21 apart is its screen bezels, which match the color of the back panel. For instance, a white Meizu 21 will have white bezels on the front, a truly unique feature. While not entirely novel, this approach is a distinctive characteristic of Meizu devices.
In terms of display capabilities, the Meizu 21 utilizes an AMOLED panel with FullHD+ resolution (1,080 x 2,340 pixels), supporting HDR10+ and boasting a 120Hz refresh rate. With 1920Hz PWM dimming, the display delivers vivid colors and sharp details, ensuring users have an impressive viewing and gaming experience.
The Meizu 21 can achieve a brightness of up to 1,800 nits, ensuring users can use it comfortably without glare, with clear content even under harsh sunlight.
In terms of specifications, the Meizu 21 is equipped with the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 chip, built on a 4nm process, Adreno 750 GPU, LPDDR5x RAM, and UFS 4.0 standard internal storage. The Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 is currently the most powerful chip for Android devices, scoring over 2 million points in Antutu benchmark tests.
The Meizu 21 is no exception, achieving a remarkable 2,138,768 points in Antutu benchmark tests. With such impressive performance from the most powerful chip, it's unlikely that any game on the market will pose a challenge for it.
As for battery capacity, the device is equipped with a 4,800mAh battery, slightly below 5,000mAh but sufficient for a full day's use. If that's not enough, users need not worry as the device comes with 80W fast charging, significantly reducing charging time.
Although the charging time for a full 4,800mAh battery hasn't been disclosed, I believe Meizu will fully charge it in less than 30 minutes.
