The Meizu 16 series from yesterday was officially joined by Meizu 16Xs. Unlike most other phone manufacturers, Meizu continues to oppose the notches in the display. Meizu 16Xs again has a symmetrical design, with super thin side bezels and fine bezels at the top and bottom of the screen.

The new smartphone is equipped with a 6.2-inch FHD+ Super AMOLED display from Samsung with a resolution of 1080×2232 pixels, with an enviable screen to body ratio of 90.29%, an aspect ratio of 18.6:9, and is certified by VDE for protection from harmful blue light, reduced by 33%, which protects the eyes and reduces tension in them. The display also integrates a fingerprint sensor with a recognition speed of less than 0.2 seconds, thanks to Super mTouch, and with support for AliPay and WeChat payment. This time the NFC payment module is missing.

The upper bezel houses a 16-megapixel selfie camera with an aperture of f/2.2, HDR+, AI algorithm for beautification, portrait mode and fast unlocking by facial recognition – in just 0.2 seconds.
