Editorial report
Meizu 18 8 GB / 256 GB / China technical sheet
The Meizu 18 suits buyers looking for a compact phone that stands out for its display, hardware, and cameras. Its main trade-off is battery capacity: 4,000 mAh is less than most phones of its time.
The 6.2-inch display combines 563 ppi, among the highest pixel densities of its time, with 1,300 nits peak brightness, also among the best. Its 120 Hz refresh rate is higher than most phones launched around the same time, and the panel uses Super AMOLED technology. At 162 g, the phone is among the lightest of its time.
The Snapdragon 888 puts its hardware among the most powerful of its time. Its 12 GB of RAM is among the highest capacities, while 256 GB of storage is more than most phones of its time; storage is not expandable. The 64 MP camera has higher resolution than most cameras of its time, and its f/1.6 aperture is among the best. Optical image stabilization is also included.
Connectivity is among the best of its time, with 5G, Wi-Fi 6E, NFC, and Bluetooth 5.2. Its 36 W charging is faster than most phones of its time, but the battery has less capacity than most. With an overall NeoScore of 6.9, the Meizu 18 is a strong fit for buyers who put the display, hardware, and cameras ahead of battery capacity.
