Meizu 21x tipped to launch as Android smartphone with largest battery of its series to date

Not quite 2 months after giving us all the impression of having finally given up on the Android smartphone market, Meizu is now said to give it at least 1 more go with a new mobile device - albeit one that is not the top-end 21 Infinity from previous leaks.

The alleged spiritual successor to the 16x might have a new name, yet have at least some things in common with the 20 series thanks to its former flagship Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 processor.

Then again, the "21x" is also backed to bring something new to Meizu: its first 5,500mAh battery. Accordingly, the smartphone might stay on for longer than the 21 Pro at 5,050mAh and definitely the 21 at just 4,800mAh, although it may not be quite as sleek and streamlined as either.

These new rumors are based on the appearance of a device called the Meizu M468Q on the 3C database, which suggests that it will indeed launch with its 20V/3.3A tech (as opposed to ~20V/4A in the 21 and 21 Pro) soon.
