Being a flagship phone launching in late 2023 means the Meizu 2023 gets the latest Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 chip and is paired with up to 12GB of RAM and 512GB of storage. The back retains the metal camera ring design of the Meizu 20, but we now have a 200MP main camera with Samsung’s ISOCELL HP3 – a large 1/1.4-inch sensor with f/1.69 aperture and OIS.

You’ll also notice the RGB ring flash which can be activated to display a pre-determined color or pattern for notifications. Meizu 21 also has an IP54 rating and carries a 4,800 mAh battery with 80W fast charging.

Meizu 21 also debuts FlymeOS 10.5 based on Android 13 and supports Flyme Auto, the manufacturer’s in-car infotainment system compatible with parent company Meizu Geely’s Lynk & Co 08 electric SUV that serves as the first vehicle to support FlymeAuto. Speaking of electric vehicles, Meizu has announced its plans to launch a Meizu DreamCar MX vehicle in the first quarter of 2024.
