NeoTeo's verdict
Which of the two is the better buy
Meizu Note 16 is the pick for photography and battery flexibility: its main camera has optical image stabilization, and it supports reverse charging. Meizu Note 22 suits those who prioritize the display and Google services, with 5,000 nits peak brightness and Google Services. Performance is close, but Note 22 reaches 416,900 points versus 402,500.
Both phones share a 6.78″ IPS LCD display, 1080 px horizontal resolution, 12 GB of RAM, and a 6,600 mAh battery. Note 22 is easier to see in bright conditions with 5,000 nits versus 1,050 nits, and its contrast ratio is 1,000,000 :1 versus 1,500 :1; its brightness is well above average, while its contrast remains below the usual reference. It also adds an ultrawide camera that Note 16 lacks.
Note 16 is stronger for the main camera because of optical stabilization, while Note 22 supplies Google Services. Both charge at 40 W, but only Note 16 supports reverse charging. Connectivity is similar: both have NFC, USB Type-C, and a 3.5 mm audio jack; Note 22 adds infrared, while Note 16 retains more Wi-Fi features. The final choice is between camera and reverse-charging flexibility or the display, Google, and slightly higher performance.
