On August 8, the Meizu 16 series flagship smartphones were officially released. There were two models in face of the Meizu 16th and the Meizu 16th Plus. Taking into consideration the memory options, there are six versions in total. Today, Meizu Technology announced they all will be launched at 10:00 am (Beijing time) on August 20. Meizu official website shows that after the order is placed, it is expected to be shipped within 4-8 weeks.
By the way, in order to prevent the speculation, each person is limited to one order only one phone. As you know, the booking numbers exceeded the expectations. So the company has had to open a separate page in order to take orders with 200 yuan prepayment. This is the best way to accumulate more financial resources and order more components. Though they exceed the predetermined amount, the company can control the ordering process and provide the units in time. And this is done for the display mainly. But Meizu claims, in the future, the ship date will be decreased. At the same time, if you are not satisfied with the delivery time, you can apply for a refund at any time. It will be processed within 2 working days.
