MEIZU 20, 20 Pro et 20 Infinity : A trio to conquer the Chinese market

Meizu 20

The Meizu 20 series was finally unveiled this March 30th at a joint event between Meizu and the car manufacturer Lynk & Co. The Meizu 20, Meizu 20 Pro and Meizu 20 Infinity were presented as well as the new Flyme 10 and Flyme Auto systems. Displayed from 400 € these new flagships have solid technical characteristics and an attractive design for a contained price.

The duo is presented with a design deliberately inspired by the iPhone 14 and Samsung Galaxy S23. With a punch hole lodged at the top of the screen and discreet borders, they attract the eye and the result seems effective. On the back we find 3 to 4 photo sensors aligned vertically on the left side of the phones.

The 2 models have a common design and share some specificities. They are powered by the Snapdragon 8Gen2 processor and run on Flyme10 under Android 13. We find housed in the center of the screen a 32MP selfie camera. They share a stabilized main sensor of 50MP on a triple sensor photo module for the Meizu 20 (50MP, 16MP wide angle and 5MP telephoto) and 4 sensors for the 20 Pro (50MP, 50MP wide angle and 50MP telephoto) with an additional ToF sensor. They can shoot in 8K.

Another good news is that they keep the ultrasonic mTouch2.0 solution to unlock the smartphone by placing his finger on the screen. Meizu promises an unlock in less than 0.075 seconds. Qualcomm’s signature ultrasonic unlocking technology is said to be the most reliable and fastest on the market.

The Meizu 20 and 20 Pro are equipped with a large OLED display of 6.55 inches and 6.81 inches respectively with a 20:9 ratio. FHD+ definition with a refresh rate of 144Hz for the Meizu 20 against a 2K+ screen at 120Hz for the 20 Pro. The screens are protected by an in-house solution announced as being superior to Gorilla Glass 7

On the entertainment and connectivity front, they feature the new mEngine 4.0 vibration engine, dual speaker, Wifi 7, 5G and Bluetooth 5.2 as well as NFC. The 20 Pro can be used as a car key thanks to its CCC3.0 digital key certification. We can count on the new version of the OS Flyme 10 to also bring an enriched experience through a slew of improvements and optimizations.

To power the whole thing we will have to rely on a 4700 mAh battery for the first one (fast wire charge at 67W) and a 5000mAh battery for the second (fast wire charge at 80W and wireless at 50W)

The Meizu 20 starts at 2999 yuan, or nearly 400 € (436 $) (Tax excluded). The Meizu 20 Pro for its part starts at 3999 yuan or nearly 535 € (582 $). They are guaranteed for 3 years and the Chinese version is compatible with almost all European 4G/5G frequencies (gold B28B only B28A)

Meizu 20 Infinity : One more thing 

The manufacturer makes the surprise by unveiling a 3rd model under the name Meizu 20 Infinity. This model is positioned in the very high-end segment since its price starts at € 850. This is a first for Meizu, which has designed the Infinity with a unibody design. The symmetry of the screen edges is respected with a thinness of 2.48mm. The Meizu 20 is the first smartphone to be designed with a screen without frame. The absence of the frame on which the screen normally rests naturally reduces the borders and improves the immersion effect. From the first pictures circulating on the web, the result seems successful.

Among other highlights, its selfie camera is equipped with a hybrid lens TLens ® latest innovation of the company poLight which aims to revolutionize the autofocus on our mobile devices.
Finally, the Meizu 20 Infinity would be able to communicate by message through a satellite connection thanks to a dedicated chip. MEIZU has not really revealed all the details of this product whose marketing date remains unknown at this stage. However, the Infinity model starts at 6299 yuan,  844 euros (917$) excluding VAT.
