However, the phone will be using another awesome feature of copper tube to dissipate heat. Since it’s rumored to come with a Snapdragon 845 flagship chip, the processor has a relatively larger heat. The copper tube heat dissipation can take away the heat of the CPU more efficiently.
With the gaining popularity of the USB Type-C interface, many smartphone makers have eliminated the 3.5mm interface. But when Huang Zhang was asked about the Meizu 16 HIFI, his answer hinted they will retain the 3.5mm audio jack on the Meizu 16.
He also said the Meizu 16 will continue using a symmetrical design. But the front camera won’t be placed in the upper central part that can cause a conflict between it and the speaker. On the bottom, it will carry a stereo speaker that will bring better sound quality and experience.
Interestingly, the Meizu 15 was the first Android phone coming with a horizontal linear motor. The latter brings different vibration effects. Huang Zhang has confirmed the Meizu 16 will be using the same motor.
Huang Zhang has announced the small dot Home button will disappear on the Meizu 16. The mBack will evolve, which will not occupy the screen’s lower part and bring a new experience. Probably, we will see a new interpretation of the Super mBack.
As for memory, the main model is assumed to come with a 6+128GB combination. But there will be a 6+64GB variant as well. It is predicted to get out of stock quickly. At the same time, it’s quite possible our protagonist will have an 8GB variant.
Though there is no hint at the price tag the Meizu 16 will come at, some geeks think it will cost around 3000 yuan ($453). If so, it’s a quite competitive price tag if taking into account we are dealing with a Snapdragon 845 chip.
At last, the Meizu 16 is expected to hit the market as soon as in early August. Moreover, there is an assumed release date of August 16.
