Editorial report

Meizu 18 Pro 8 GB / 256 GB / China technical sheet

The Meizu 18 Pro suits anyone who prioritizes a high-resolution display and a versatile camera setup; its main trade-off is the main camera's f/1.9 aperture, worse than most phones of its time. The display combines 526 ppi, among the highest pixel densities of its time, with a 120 Hz refresh rate that is better than most. Peak brightness reaches 1300 nits, also among the highest of its time.

Its hardware is better than that of most phones launched around the same time. This version pairs a Qualcomm Snapdragon 888 with 8 GB of RAM and 128 GB of storage, and posts 885,100 in AnTuTu v10. The 50 MP main camera uses a 1/1.31″ sensor, among the largest of its time, and includes optical image stabilization. It also has 3x optical zoom, while a separate ultrawide camera adds another framing option.

The 4,500 mAh battery supports 40 W wired charging, faster than most phones of its time, as well as 40 W wireless charging, among the most powerful of its time. Wi-Fi 6E, 5G and dual SIM round out connectivity. Meizu also sells the phone with 8 GB / 256 GB and 12 GB / 256 GB, alongside this 8 GB / 128 GB version. With a NeoScore of 7.4, the 18 Pro is a compelling choice for anyone seeking a standout display and wireless charging, provided the main camera's aperture is not their priority.
