Meizu 22 Series: A Comeback with Flagship Features
Meizu, once a prominent player in the Chinese smartphone market, is reportedly planning a return with its new flagship series, the Meizu 22. After being acquired by Geely and facing market challenges, the company aims to re-establish its presence with innovative devices.
Two models are anticipated, one with a compact screen and the other with a larger display, catering to different user preferences. Both phones will emphasize AI integration, including a dedicated AI button and seamless compatibility with Meizu's in-car system, Flyme Auto. This aligns with current trends in smartphone development, as seen with the AI boost in Apple Notes.
The Meizu 22 series is rumored to be powered by Qualcomm's Snapdragon 8 Elite chipset and feature a white panel design reminiscent of earlier Meizu phones. The company is also focusing on improving camera performance through advanced imaging technology and software optimizations. This echoes the focus on improved smartphone imaging seen in other brands, such as TECNO's efforts in Saudi Arabia.

- In-house developed ultrasonic fingerprint sensors
- High-density batteries exceeding 5,500 mAh
