Meizu 20 Classic 16 GB / 512 GB / China technical sheet
The Meizu 20 Classic suits buyers looking for a high-end Android phone with generous memory and a fast display. Its main trade-off is a 4700 mAh battery, with less capacity than most phones of its time. This version also has no Google Services, a significant limitation for anyone who relies on Google's services.
The 6.55-inch OLED display reaches 144 Hz, among the highest refresh rates of its time; the display overall is typical. Its 16 GB of RAM is among the highest capacities of its time, and 512 GB of storage exceeds what most phones of its time offer. Performance and hardware are among the best of the period. The camera is better than most phones of its time and includes optical image stabilization, while its f/1.9 aperture is less bright than on most. Connectivity is also better than most, with 5G and Wi-Fi 7. Its 67 W charging power is higher than that of most phones of its time, although the battery overall is typical.
The Meizu 20 Classic earns a NeoScore of 7.3. It is a strong fit for buyers who prioritize performance, ample storage, advanced connectivity, and a high-refresh-rate display, provided they can do without Google Services and accept lower battery capacity than most phones of its time.
