Earlier this year, tipster Digital Chat Station had mentioned that Meizu was working on the Meizu 22 series, though details were scarce apart from an expected launch timeline. Now, popular tipster Smart Pikachu has revealed that the Meizu 22 series will likely be powered by Qualcomm‘s latest Snapdragon 8 Elite chipset. The devices are also expected to feature a white panel design, reminiscent of their predecessors.The tipster also says that the company is planning to launch two distinct models within the series: one with a compact screen for those who prefer a more manageable device size, and another with a larger flat screen. Both models are expected to feature enhanced in-car connectivity powered by Flyme Auto, reflecting Meizu’s strategic ‘All In AI’ approach aimed at integrating artificial intelligence more deeply into the user experience. Additionally, Meizu is testing an AI button, which could be incorporated into the device to introduce innovative interactions and functionalities. While Meizu has traditionally excelled in design and performance, the company has faced criticism for its camera capabilities. To address this, Meizu is reportedly exploring advanced imaging technologies and software optimizations to elevate the photography experience.
