Meizu is the latest
phone maker to release a Pro version in its lineup with the recently announced Meizu 16s Pro. The new phone is an
improved version of the Meizu 16s that was released way back in April this
year. The main difference comes under the hood with the Snapdragon 855+ chipset
and around the back with the new triple camera setup.
Meizu 16s Pro Features
The Meizu 16s Pro comes with the same 6.2 inch FHD+ AMOLED panel which now features a 160Hz touch sampling rate and the same sleek symmetrical top and bottom bezels from the Meizu 16s. The manufacturer claims they improved the in-display fingerprint sensor which is now capable of unlocking the phone in 0.15 seconds. The selfie camera is a 20MP f/2.0 sensor just like that of the 16s.
At the rear, we now have
a third 16MP f/2.2 ultrawide lens which goes alongside the primary 48MP f/1.7 optically
stabilized Sony IMX 586 and the 20MP f/2.6 telephoto shooter. The new 16MP
camera is surrounded by an LED ring flash. The 16s Pro is capable of recording 4K at 60fps and comes with the
smart right scene optimization as well as portrait mode, HDR and scene
recognition capabilities.

Under the hood, the Meizu 16s Pro packs the new Snapdragon
855+ chipset paired with 6GB or 8GB RAM and up to 256GB UFS 3.0 storage. The
battery has the same 3600mAH capacity as the 16s with support for 24W fast
charging.
On the software front,
the 16s Pro runs on Meizu’s Flyme 8
OS based on Android 9 Pie. The latest iteration of Meizu’s custom skin is a
more polished and simplified version of its previous offerings with a flatter
design and more rounded icons. There’s new live wallpapers, ringtones, and
system sounds. Other additions include One Mind 3.5 system optimizer, Game Mode
4.0 and the new AR emojis and Aicy voice assistant.
