Editorial report

Meizu C9 Pro technical sheet

The Meizu C9 Pro is for buyers seeking a basic phone who can accept a battery with less capacity than most phones launched around the same time. Its 3,000 mAh battery is the main compromise, and the display is also among the dimmest of its time.

The 5.45-inch IGZO LCD reaches 350 nits. The phone weighs 150 g, less than most phones of its time. Its 3 GB of RAM and 32 GB of storage are below average, although storage can be expanded with a card of up to 128 GB. It runs Android 8.

The rear camera has 13 MP, an average resolution, but its 1/3.1-inch sensor is among the smallest of its time. There is no optical zoom, and video recording tops out at 1080p at 30 fps. Connectivity includes Dual Nano-SIM, Bluetooth 4.1, Wi-Fi 802.11 b/g/n, GPS and GLONASS, plus a 3.5 mm audio jack and microUSB.

Overall, its design and display, hardware, camera, connectivity and battery are worse than those of most phones launched around the same time. Its NeoScore is 2.7. This is a basic option for someone who wants a straightforward phone and is willing to accept those limits.
