Meizu has unveiled its latest flagship, the Meizu 21, featuring the powerful Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 chipset. One of its standout features is its impressive design with an almost bezel-less screen. Meizu claims the bezel is just 1.74 mm on all sides, providing a sleek and immersive display interrupted only by the hole-punch selfie camera. This design brings users closer to the vision of an all-screen smartphone.
Features of Meizu 21 
Now that we’ve taken notice of the Meizu 21, let’s explore its additional features. The phone’s design draws inspiration from the Galaxy S-series of the last two generations, showcasing separate camera holes and a vertical orientation for the main camera system. A unique touch is the RGB flash ring accompanying the bottom camera. Meizu introduces it as an evolution of the Aicy Smart Ring system, capable of producing different light effects during activities like music playback and gaming, and even serving as a notification light.
Crafted from aviation-grade aluminum, the phone’s frame exhibits a flat design, reminiscent of what we anticipate from the Galaxy S24. Meizu takes pride in its new “Boundless Antenna System 2.0,” promising a 30% improvement in signal performance compared to the previous Meizu 20 series.
The phone boasts a 6.55-inch Samsung-made OLED display, featuring a dynamic 120Hz refresh rate, a peak brightness of 1,800 nits, and HDR10+ support. Meizu typically follows up the standard model with a Pro version, so we can anticipate even more impressive specifications on the Pro variant.
