Editorial report
Meizu Note 21 8 GB / 256 GB / Global technical sheet
The Meizu Note 21 suits people who put battery capacity and plentiful storage first, and can accept a display, performance and camera that rank below most phones of its time. Its 6,000 mAh battery has more capacity than most, while 18 W charging is slower than on most phones launched around the same time.
The 6.74-inch IPS LCD display runs at 90 Hz, but its 260 ppi density and 450-nit peak brightness are among the weakest; its refresh rate is also lower than on most phones of its time. The Unisoc T606 scores 239,300 in AnTuTu, among the weakest results for that period. The rear main camera has 50 MP, but its 1/2.76-inch sensor is smaller than those in most comparable phones, and it has no optical image stabilization. At 215 g, the phone is heavier than most of its time.
This version pairs 8 GB RAM with 256 GB of expandable storage and Android 14. It also has dual Nano-SIM, Bluetooth 5.3, USB Type-C and a 3.5 mm audio jack. Battery capacity is its clearest strength, while the display, performance and camera are notable compromises. With an overall NeoScore of 4.6, the Meizu Note 21 is best suited to people who value battery capacity and storage more than a sharper display or stronger performance.
