Editorial report

Meizu 16T technical sheet

The Meizu 16T suits buyers who put capable hardware and battery capacity first; the trade-off is peak screen brightness of 430 nits, lower than on most phones of its time. Its 6.5-inch Super AMOLED display occupies 85.2% of the front. Design and display are above average overall, but brightness is the clearest limitation, and pixel density at 382 ppi is slightly below average.

The Snapdragon 855 puts the hardware among the best of its time. Its 8 GB of RAM and 256 GB of storage are also better than most, though storage cannot be expanded. The 4,500 mAh battery has more capacity than most phones of its time, and battery performance overall is above average; fast charging is rated at 18 W. Connectivity is above average as well, with dual Nano-SIM, Wi-Fi 802.11ac, Bluetooth 5.0, and USB Type-C.

The 12 MP main camera uses a 1/2.55-inch sensor, smaller than average for its time, and has no optical image stabilization or optical zoom. An 8 MP ultrawide camera offers a wider field of view, while the main camera records up to 4K at 60 fps. With a NeoScore of 5.3, the Meizu 16T is best suited to buyers who value its processor, storage, and battery more than a bright display or a versatile camera.
