Editorial report

Meizu 21 Pro 16 GB / 512 GB / China technical sheet

The Meizu 21 Pro suits buyers looking for a high-end Android phone with a detailed display and powerful wireless charging. This version has 12 GB of RAM and 256 GB of storage; the phone is also sold with 16 GB of RAM and up to 1 TB. One practical limitation for people who rely on Google apps is that it has no Google Services.

Its 512 ppi display density is among the highest of phones of its time, while the 120 Hz refresh rate is typical. Performance is better than most phones launched around the same time. For photography, the 3x optical zoom is among the highest magnifications of its time, and the main camera pairs a 1/1.28″ sensor with optical image stabilization. It also records 8K video.

The 5,050 mAh battery capacity is typical, but 80 W wired charging is faster than most phones of its time, and 50 W wireless charging is among the fastest. The camera and connectivity also rank among the strongest of their time. The trade-offs are its 208 g weight, heavier than most, and the main camera’s f/1.9 aperture, which is worse than most. Its overall NeoScore is 8.4. It is a compelling fit for buyers who prioritize a detailed display, flexible camera setup, and fast wireless charging, and can do without Google Services.
