Despite focusing on AI and potentially pulling out of the smartphone business, Meizu, a company owned by Geely, has announced the launch of one more model before any big changes. The Meizu 21 Pro is an upgraded version of the Meizu 21, featuring a better screen, tele camera, and a larger battery with wireless charging capabilities.
Starting with the display, the Meizu 21 Pro boasts a 6.79” AMOLED screen with a resolution of 1,368 x 3,192px and a peak brightness of 1,250 nits. This LTPO panel offers a refresh rate ranging from 1-120Hz, a significant improvement over the vanilla 21 model’s 6.55” FHD+ display. The selfie camera remains at 32MP.
