Meizu 20 Classic Smartphone Review
Source: OI Spice Tech News English
Meizu 20 Classic comes with a wide array of features, including an attractive design, powerful hardware, good enough photography, and a decent content streaming experience. Besides this, the device can handle long hours of gaming and supports multitasking. All of these factors combined make this smartphone a flagship killer deal. However, some downsides are missing secondary storage and lacking a 3.5mm port. Yet, they won’t be an issue in the big picture. Every techie user loves this phone because it provides value-packed specs, though the brand doesn’t have a massive presence in the global market. Nor does the company provide information about the international release. Therefore, it’s safe to say that the Meizu 20 Classic will be exclusive to the Chinese smartphone market. If you want to purchase this device, you might have to look for a third-party platform in the worst case.

Meizu 20 Smartphone Review
Source: OI Spice Tech News English
The Meizu 20 smartphone claims to be a flagship smartphone and feels to meet the expectations of a flagship user. It provides a great display, design, performance, decent camera, and battery, but a flagship smartphone has to provide an all-around feature list that the Meizu 20 fails to deliver. Lack of water resistance, absence of Gorilla Glass screen protection, and wireless charging are big downsides of this device. Apart from this, the device is lightweight despite having a huge battery capacity. Also, the device carries the latest comms and sensors that are mandatory to be called a flagship smartphone. Most other flagship smartphones have them these days. overall, if you are a fan of Meizu, then you can definitely go for this smartphone, but in case you are looking for an alternative, then you can check out the Redmi Note 12 Turbo smartphone, which comes with almost similar specs and is more value for money.

Meizu 20 Pro Smartphone Review
Source: OI Spice Tech News English
To truly answer the question of whether the Meizu 20 Pro is the best smartphone, we have to look at its specs. The smartphone provides a flagship-grade high refresh rate display that is bright enough for outdoor usage and it has the best Android chipset. It has a set of fantastic cameras and a huge battery backup. Well, it will certainly provide the best value for the money you will pay, but the phone misses the custom UI compared to other flagships phone. So, if you don’t mind the lack of custom UI, then this phone should definitely be on your purchase list. It’s a smartphone that will provide a solid experience with some great pictures. Overall, Meizu 20 Pro is a decent smartphone as compared to specs and price, in case you are looking for an alternative option in the gaming smartphone category, you can check out the Asus ROG Phone 7 smartphone as an alternative option.

Meizu 20 PRO Review: Is it Worth the Hype? Our In-Depth Analysis
Source: Igeekphone English
After one and a half years, Meizu has returned to the arena with a brand new look. The round middle frame and rugged metal frame make it hard for you to think that this is the latest flagship mobile phone, Meizu 20 PRO, under Meizu Technology. However, after you play with it, you will feel that the classic design of Meizu is still there, such as the X-axis horizontal linear motor that created the ultimate shock of Android, the Mback that you can’t go back after using it, and the ring flash that has been passed down from generation to generation. With today’s Meizu 20 PRO flagship mobile phone, old Meizu friends can still see the appearance of Meizu back then.

Meizu 21 Smartphone Review
Source: OI Spice Tech News English
Meizu 21 isn’t your average mid-range phone, it provides a premium experience to its users. The Meizu 21 is an excellent choice if you are looking for impressive performance, stunning display, and long-lasting battery life. Plus, the phone offers an aesthetic yet elegant design, which is something fresh to see after a long time. All of those factors enhance the overall value of this phone. Yet, there are a handful of factors that this phone lacks, whether we talk about the average camera software or outdated Android interface. Even regular mid-range phones are getting Android 14 OS out of the box. But here, the company isn’t thinking about it. It’s just the tip of the iceberg as you might find it difficult to purchase this phone outside China.

Meizu 21 Review: A Dream Phone or a Beautiful Waste of Money?
Source: Igeekphone English
Finally, there is the same line of ultrasonic fingerprint recognition , which is not dazzling to unlock at night and can be easily unlocked with wet hands. So far, no mobile phone manufacturer has used ultrasonic fingerprint recognition in its standard version of flagship mobile phones, but Meizu has used it. The 2004 and fourth-generation products have truly brought mobile phones to a new level that is hard to come back from once used. To sum up, this generation of Meizu 21 inherits the classic design and functions of the past. It not only makes breakthroughs in performance and imaging, but also brings us novel interaction methods, and has the world’s narrowest 1.74mm. Bian’s innovative aesthetic design has created this new generation of dream machines in Keyou’s mind, which also corresponds to Meizu’s saying: “Pursuit comes from love.” If you are a fan of small-screen mobile phones and have relatively high requirements for details, performance, screen, and quality, then Meizu 21 can be included in your purchase range.

Meizu 21 Pro Review: Everything You Need To Know About!
Source: Igeekphone English
The Meizu 21 PRO inherits the robust straight-edge middle frame and rounded corners from the Meizu 20 PRO. Additionally, it features the 21:9 golden ratio screen of the Meizu 20 Unbounded Edition, providing a rare one-handed feel. With Meizu’s classic white panel and the glass body crafted by Xingyuan, the phone not only enhances its body texture but also offers a delicate touch, showcasing Meizu’s unwavering commitment to technological aesthetics. Moreover, the introduction of the large-area wide-area ultrasonic fingerprint recognition eliminates the need for precise alignment, allowing easy unlocking in all directions. This signifies true freedom in unlocking. Transitioning to functionality, Meizu prioritizes retaining useful features at all costs, hoping other companies will adopt their concept in the future.

Modern games should be playable with these graphics cards at low settings and resolutions. Casual gamers may be happy with these cards.
