I wanted E3 for a reason it has type-c with 3.5mm jack. But it didnt even have FM Radio. For the price of Meizu M6s it was around 145 euro in that time it looked good with the Antutu 7 score of around 90 000 but it have flaws too like 720p screen and some more. In here it says it has a FM Radio but on reviews and hands on video unboxing there wasnt. I liked the side monted fingerprint scanner too, but even on my note 5 i dont use it or even the face unlock i dont use that too. I only use the dots and password. I dont use fingerprint cause at work my hands are dry and the reader dont recognize my finger so it's useless then.

          Meizu is basically a Samsung sponsored phone. Most of their phone are powered by Exynos. All the cheap ones powered by Mediatek and rarely any Snapdragon. And quite a number of Superamoled phones too. Not so much a fan of their Flyme UI. Their best innovation so far is Meizu Pro 7/7+ with the weird secondary display at the rear panel. They love innovating but no commitment. Their only reliable phone I see in their list is Meizu E3 and Meizu 15 powered by SD636 & SD660 respectively. Update is not their forte with most of their 2018 releases stuck in Nougat. Would anything change with this new Meizu 16? Like I said their Meizu 15 series which recently release in April 2018 still on Nougat.

            It's still a compact over these 5.7 to 6.6 screen. While most 5.5 inch screens with larger bezels are 151mm tall where the average 18:9 screen 5.7 inch phones are now

              Got a very simple question to ask - will increased Screen to Body ratio increase the productivity and efficiency equivalently?

              And one more - Will it be ergonomically comfortable to work with due to increased ratio?

                At least it looks nice as overall!


                Normal m16 should be bellow 145-147mm and we have a winner. Ok that and reasonable HW inside.

                            Anonymous, 18 Jun 2018all I cant say IS !!! - Samsung galaxy S8 on the front ... moreSo place a camera on top corner and it will be copycat ? Place a flash between cameras on corner and it's iphone copycat. Nevermind that the flash on meizu looks totally different then huawei has but well we all want to see only thing and thats someone is copying someone and be blinded of that only. There isnt much ways to place these things to be so that they dont look like something other if market is full of brands that have a lot of different devices for sale then how do you make your self look different then others ? Think of when screen will be from edge to edge and over 90% of screen or when there is 100% of screen then how do you make it look different then others that will make 100% screen to body ?

                            At least Meizu dont do notch like the rest of the market. And even Meizu 15 looks good as it's 5.45 inch screen and not like the trend of need to be 6 inch at least like the Vivo with it's 6.6 inch screen. If it's not made by top brand it's a copycat. Huawei copy notch from apple too so what ? Go whine about that in the comments when you need to whine about design elements.

                            This Meizu 16 will look good as it is now, but well it will be with flagship hardware and prices even the SD710 version will be around $500 and probably wont get B20 band even like the 15 series.

                              I kinda want a second gen Of Meizu Pro 7 with Qualcomm snapdragon.
                              And preferably with memory expansion. ^^;

                                Finally, a modern looking phone from Meizu.
                                The recently released 15 series look outdated.

                                    At least it doesn't have a notch though.
                                    Yup, better buy Huawei phones.
