Rumor | Meizu 20 Pro camera samples make for an underwhelming Weibo preview

OPPO's recent Find X6 Pro camera preview has met with gushing praise (and a fair amount of critical appraisal thrown in for good measure) since the release of the smartphone's inaugural samples to Weibo. Now, something from pretty much the other end of the mobile photography hype response spectrum has broken out on the same platform.

A Geely executive's recent reported use of a Meizu 20 Pro during an exhibition of the company's cars has met with a sub-optimal reaction among social media users, uncharitable comparisons between senior vice president Yang Xueliang's technique and that of Xiaomi CEO Lei Jun in similar causal official leaks included.

Besides that, the photos - a collection of automotive portraits and nature shots - have met with observations that the former are often washed out and miss the mark in terms of color science, whereas the latter exhibit poor detail in some and inconsistent bokeh in others.

This reception of the 20 Pro's quad rear cameras in advance may be all the more galling, particularly as the brand is rumored to have equipped the upcoming flagship with a high-quality 50MP main shooter with OIS from Sony . Hopefully, it and its Meizu 20 vanilla counterpart will have more to offer on their March 30, 2023 debut.
