Beautiful... now if only Meizu would be properly GPL compliant, unlock their BL and be more 3rd dev friendly that'd be great.

Good to know yet another SD855 phone I'm seriously considering of buying has no headphone jack.
In other news, water is wet and life sucks.

finally phone with decent size, weight, spec and price. I will never buy phone larger than 155mm and heavier than 170g.

Essanpe, 23 Apr 2019Lenovo Z6 pro is a better deal than this !!In paper, yes. But in symetrical front design, people will choose this instead of fullscreen on top (with camera cut out) but having chin.

Meizu flagships was known for their symmetries. But there aren't symmetrical anymore. Even the rear camera of this phone is now off-center.
RIP Meizu

This isn't a flagship phone, but it comes close. It's competing with the upper-midrange segment like the Huawei P30, Honor View 20, OnePlus 7/Pro, Lenovo Z6 Pro, Xiaomi Mi Mix 3, Xiaomi Mi 9/9E, Xiaomi BlackShark 2, Xiaomi PocoPhone 2, LG G7-One, etc etc.
I would've gladly accepted a "Pro" version that comes with a higher price, and one that I can call a true flagship/competitor but with these changes:
- Worldwide 3G/4G Bands (see iPhone Xr bands)
- IP68 Waterproofing
- USB 3.1 (Type C)
- Headphone Jack
...at least for another US $50-$100
...and also great to have:
- microSD slot
- FM Radio
- Infrared transmitter
- Noise cancelling microphones
- dedicated QuadDAC
- Shock Resistance (MIL-STD-810G)
- a really large battery for this size (4000mAh)
- OIS on front camera
- AndroidOne support
- Lastly front firing stereo loudspeakers (see: Motorola Nexus 6, HTC M8, Google Pixel 3XL, SONY Z5c, SONY XZ1c, ZTE Axon7, ASUS RoG Phone)
....at which point I would've paid double the price, I kid you not !!

GSMArena, why don't you review Meizu phones anymore? No 16th or 16X review, no X8 review, no Note 9 review... At least do it for 16S, phone is really nice

This looks really nice - this and the Oppo Reno are probably the only designs ao far this year that really grabbed my attention. Shame about the headphone jack, but I still like this a lot at that price.

It's funny that Meizu 16s has OIS with Sony IMX586 camera module, unlike Xiaomi Mi 9 and Honor View 20; and also its top and bottom bezels in sum are _equal_ to those in Xiaomi Mi 9 =)
And side bezels in sum are less than 5 mm (although "less than 7 mm" is already enough - and all proper modern smartphones have that) - without stupidity of curved edges (Samsung Galaxy S/Note 8/9/10 series).
