Editorial report

Meizu Note 21 Pro technical sheet

The Meizu Note 21 Pro suits buyers looking for an Android phone with a large display and a high-resolution camera; its main trade-offs are peak brightness and battery capacity, both lower than on most phones launched around the same time. Overall, it is typical among phones from its period.

The 6.78-inch IPS LCD display has a 120 Hz refresh rate. Its 550-nit peak brightness is lower than that of most phones launched around the same time, a consideration for anyone who prioritizes a particularly bright screen. The camera’s 64 MP resolution and f/1.79 aperture are both better than those of most phones from its period. It has no optical image stabilization.

The 5,000 mAh battery has less capacity than that of most phones launched around the same time, while fast charging is rated at 30 W. This version pairs 8 GB of RAM with 256 GB of storage, and storage is expandable. It runs Android 14 and includes a 3.5 mm audio jack. The Meizu Note 21 Pro earns an overall NeoScore of 5.5 and is typical among phones launched around the same time. It is a good fit for buyers who value a large display, 120 Hz refresh rate, and camera resolution, and can accept less standout brightness and battery capacity.
