In February this year, Meizu announced that it would stop traditional “smartphone” new projects and transform into the field of AI. However, Meizu does not seem to have completely given up on the phone market.
According to blogger @digitalchatstation, Meizu is polishing a Snapdragon mid-range AI terminal, which is said to have “okay performance.” This product adopts a straight-screen design and a large battery, equipped with UP2033-66W fast charging head + BA468-5400mAh min / 5500mAh±Typ battery.
It is not difficult to see from the blogger’s description that this terminal product is probably a new Meizu mobile phone. Previously, the brand called the Meizu 21 Pro phone “Meizu’s first open AI terminal.”
Qualcomm’s Snapdragon new product launch conference will be held in the near future, which is expected to bring two new processors, Snapdragon 8s Gen 3 and Snapdragon 7+ Gen 3. It remains to be seen whether Meizu’s new phone will be equipped with them.

Looking back last month, Meizu announced that it would stop new traditional “smartphone” projects and fully invest in “tomorrow’s devices” AI For New Generations.
Meizu said that currently, with the global mobile phone market’s extended replacement cycle, limited space for consumer innovation, and intensified vicious competition in the industry, the mobile phone industry is facing unprecedented challenges. At the same time, mobile phone products rely solely on hardware upgrades and parameter competition, which can no longer meet the diversified and comprehensive use needs and experience of consumers. The industry urgently needs to find new sustainable development directions.
Meizu said that after two years of team building, resource allocation, product layout and sufficient pre-research on related technologies, Meizu now has the ability to fully transform into the AI field.
However, a few days later, Shen Ziyu, chairman and CEO of Xingji Meizu Group, issued an article saying that Meizu 21 Pro is not inferior to its competitors in many aspects, and the launch conference on February 29 will go ahead as planned. Finally, the Meizu 21 Pro phone has arrived as expected.
