Editorial report

Meizu Note 16 Pro technical sheet

The Meizu Note 16 Pro suits buyers who want a particularly bright, fast display, a large battery and quick charging. Its main trade-off is the lack of Google Services, which matters for anyone relying on the Play Store and Google apps.

The 6.78-inch AMOLED display runs at 144 Hz and reaches 4500 nits. Its refresh rate is among the best of its time, while its brightness is better than most phones launched around the same time. The 6200 mAh battery has typical capacity for its time, but 80W charging is faster than what most of those phones offer. This version has 8 GB of RAM and 256 GB of storage; the phone is also sold from 8 GB / 256 GB up to 16 GB / 512 GB.

Its 50 MP camera includes optical stabilization and 4K video, alongside an 8 MP ultrawide camera. Connectivity covers 5G, Wi-Fi 6, Bluetooth 5.4, NFC and dual SIM. Performance is typical for its time, while the phone overall is better than most phones launched around the same time. With a NeoScore of 7.5, the Note 16 Pro is a strong fit for buyers prioritizing the display, charging and connectivity, provided Google Services are not essential.
