Meizu has consistently carved its niche with unique designs and innovative features. With the release of the Meizu 21 Pro, the company seems poised to leave a lasting impression in what could potentially be its final flagship Android series. Let's delve into the details of this cutting-edge device and explore what sets it apart in the fiercely competitive smartphone market.

Design and Form Factor

The Meizu 21 Pro exudes sophistication with its sleek profile boasting flat edges measuring just 7.9mm in depth. With a width of only 74mm, the device ensures effortless one-handed usability without compromising on style or functionality.

Battery and Charging Capabilities

Despite its slender frame, the Meizu 21 Pro houses a formidable 5,050mAh battery, supporting rapid 80W charging via USB-C, along with the added convenience of 50W wireless charging—a feature absent in its vanilla counterpart. This impressive power management ensures uninterrupted usage throughout the day, catering to the needs of even the most demanding users.

Display and Visual Experience

The Pro variant boasts an immersive, reduced-bezel flat display, stretching 6.79 inches diagonally with a cinematic 21:9 aspect ratio. With a stunning 1368 x 3192 ("2K+") resolution, users can indulge in crisp, vibrant visuals that elevate their multimedia and gaming experiences to new heights.

Camera Innovation

The Meizu 21 Pro redefines smartphone photography with its quad rear 'lens rings', though slightly protruding. Among these lenses, the circular RGB flash stands out, complementing the 10MP 3x telephoto lens, 13MP ultrawide-angle shooter, and the main sensor, an OmniVision OV50H. This versatile setup ensures unparalleled clarity and detail in every shot, catering to both amateur enthusiasts and seasoned photographers alike.

Software Integration

Running on Flyme OS, the Meizu 21 Pro introduces groundbreaking AI features, enhancing user interaction and productivity. With functionalities like Circle to Search and Live Translate-style capabilities, coupled with seamless integration with MYVU glasses and Geely cars, the device offers a holistic technological ecosystem that adapts to users' evolving needs.

Availability and Pricing

Available in a range of finishes, from graphite glass to green vegan leather, the Meizu 21 Pro caters to diverse aesthetic preferences. Priced competitively, the base model with 12GB of RAM and 256GB of internal storage starts at 4,999 yuan ($695), while the top-tier configuration with 16GB of RAM and 1TB of storage retails for 5,899 yuan ($820), making it an attractive proposition for discerning consumers.
