Editorial report
Meizu 21 Note 16 GB / 512 GB / China technical sheet
The Meizu 21 Note suits buyers who prioritize an advanced display and a stabilized main camera, but this China-market configuration has no Google Services. That matters to anyone who relies on Google apps and services: it runs Android 14, yet those services are not integrated. The phone’s strongest case is its screen, with camera hardware and charging adding to the appeal.
Its 6.9-inch LTPO OLED display combines a 144 Hz refresh rate with 5,000 nits peak brightness. Both the refresh rate and brightness are among the best of its time. The display also has 450 ppi, while its 89.5% usable surface is better than that of most phones launched around the same time. These specifications make the screen a standout feature for buyers who put viewing quality first.
The Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 and an AnTuTu result of 1,749,692 put performance better than most phones of its time. The rear main camera pairs 50 MP with an f/1.7 aperture and optical image stabilization; that aperture is brighter than most, and the camera overall ranks better than most. A 13 MP ultrawide camera adds another framing option, although there is no optical zoom.
A 5,500 mAh battery and 65 W charging are both better than most phones of its time, and connectivity also stands better than most. With an overall NeoScore of 7.6, the Meizu 21 Note is a compelling fit for buyers seeking a standout display, a versatile camera setup, and fast charging, provided they can do without Google Services.
