The Meizu 21 was announced last week and a few days later it went on sale in China. The smartphone maker that is part of automaker Geely reported sales of more than CNY 100 million ($14 million/€13 million) on Weibo in the first second the sale actually opened. This means that over 25,000 units were sold in an instant.

The Meizu 21 flagship was launched with two versions: CNY 3,399 ($480) for the 8/256 GB option and CNY 3,999 ($565) for the 12/512 GB variant. A quick calculation reveals that the company sold between 25,000 and 29,000 units, although since we don’t know which option was more popular, we can’t have a definitive answer.

Meizu is owned by an automotive company, so it stands to reason that one of its key features is support for FlymeAuto – an in-car infotainment system compatible with any Meizu smartphone and the Lynk & Co 08 electric vehicle – certainly the first of many car; after all, Geely also owns Volvo Cars, Smart, Polestar and even Lotus.

Smartphone enthusiasts will appreciate the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 chipset, 200MP main camera, and 80W wired charging. There’s no word on whether the phone will make it out of China at this point.
