Due to strong competition, a famous Chinese brand announced that it will stop manufacturing smart phones. However, before retiring, he has released one last cell phone.
Why will Meizu stop making phones?
Founded in 2003 by Jack Wong, Meizu is a technology company that also focuses on designing other equipment, such as headphones and speakers. However, its forte was cell phones, which came with Flyme OS, its own custom software based on Android. Like other Chinese brands, it offered entry-level, mid-range, and high-end devices that had acceptable technical specifications.
Shen Ziyu, current president and CEO of Meizu, announced that the company was withdrawing from the manufacture of smartphones, that is, closing its mobile division, due to strong competition in this sector. The news surprised its millions of users, who were concerned that this company would stop providing technical support to their equipment, something that has not yet been clarified.
Let us remember that, in 2021, the South Korean company LG made the same decision; However, it promised to provide several years of support to all users who had purchased its cell phones. After Shen Ziyu’s announcement, many wondered what would happen to the devices that Meizu had planned to launch in the short term. Although it seemed like they were going to be canceled, the brand surprised everyone and launched its latest cell phone: the Meizu 21 Pro.
What are the technical specifications of the Meizu 21 Pro?
The smartphone, which belongs to the high range, weighs 214 grams and has the following dimensions: 164.98 mm high, 74.42 mm wide and 7.98 mm thick. Regarding the screen, it has a 6.79-inch LTPO Amoled panel with 2K+ resolution (3,192 x 1,368 pixels). Additionally, it has an adaptive refresh rate of up to 120 Hz and a maximum brightness of 1,250 nits.
Inside, the Meizu 21 Pro has a Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 processor with Adreno 750, 12 or 16 GB RAM, 256, 512 or 1 TB internal memory and an integrated 5,050 mAh battery. This is compatible with 80 W fast charging and 50 W wireless charging. The components are well protected, since the cell phone has IP68 certification against dust and water.
Finally, in the photographic section, we see that it has a 32-megapixel selfie camera and a triple rear camera that is made up of a 50-megapixel main lens with optical stabilization, a 13-megapixel ultra-wide-angle lens, and a 10-megapixel telephoto lens. Inside the rear module we will also see an LED Flash Ring.
