Meizu 17 is arriving on April 17 with 5G support
The Meizu 17 was supposed to be unveiled in Q1 2020 but that didn't happen and a leaked image earlier this month revealed the phone will arrive on April 15. Well, that's not going to be the case either since Meizu today announced that Meizu 17 will be unveiled on April 17.
Meizu announced the date on Chinese social network Weibo and shared a poster having text "mSmart 5G", which confirms support for the next-gen network.
The Meizu 17 will be unveiled through an event in China which will start at 2:30 PM local time (6:30 AM UTC).
Last December Meizu confirmed that Meizu 17 will be powered by the Snapdragon 865 flagship chipset, but other than that the Chinese phone maker didn't reveal anything else.
However, previous leaks revealed the smartphone will sport a 90Hz OLED display with a punch hole in the top-right corner and a resolution of 2206x1080 pixels. Around the back, it will sport a quad camera setup aligned horizontally.
The Meizu 17 is expected to support 30W charging, but its Pro variant is said to charge at up to 65W, drawing power through a GaN charger.
