Meizu Lucky 08 arrives with mid-range price, bets big on AI

26 September 2024
The long-rumored "AI flagship" from Meizu is here.

Sort by:


The design is pretty interesting. But, Meizu... Where is your signature LED Ring? Did you stop using it after every brand copying it?

    "AI-powered shopping assistant.." .. artificial "intelligence" is quite a consumerism oriented, why I'm not surprised?!

      Techgg, 28 Sep 2024ok then,it seems like you enjoy when your phone lags and ha... moremidrange chips don't lag. I've tested this and have real world experience with budget phones, midrange, flagship, and even used them interchangeably as primary/secondary phones and in day to day use, fluidity, software, and responsiveness are indistinguishable between midrange and flagship. maybe when you compare < $200USD phones to top of the line flagships yes, but between flagship and midranger there is zero perceptible difference. And I've been doing this with smartphones for over 10 years so I know.

It is made on samsung's foundry...

          Bet big AI will be an obsolete term after 2 to 3 years

              Techgg, 27 Sep 2024You're talking rubbish !I'm talking facts. the chipset is one of the least important components in a smartphone.

                    ishreal, 26 Sep 2024L take here. the chipset is good and works fluidly for 99% ... moreThe issue is pricing the Poco and One plus Ace series shows you can get near flag ship performance for 300-400. So 7s gen 2 needs to be around 200 to be competitive.

                    That's the main gripe with pixels 1k for a phone that performs worse than Poco/Ace pure cope.

                      Stefan , 26 Sep 2024Does the main camera have OIS?I already checked some sources, including Meizu's own website, most of the sources didn't mention any OIS for its main camera at all AFAIK.

                        Anonymous, 26 Sep 2024As soon as I saw 7s gen 2, I became disgusted. That Chipset... moreL take here. the chipset is good and works fluidly for 99% of apps that 99% of people will use. can even do light gaming (which is the more popular type of gaming globally. display, battery, design, and main camera combo is more important than chipset. period. the chipset junkies on here are the reason phones are so expensive now, demanding a Snapdragon 100 gen 70 for 3¢ and whine if its a penny over.

                          PanRT, 26 Sep 2024Where ? 😂 ONLY White color? All is different and Meizu look... morethe camera island looks eerily similar to the Magic 6 Pro, swap the flash for another lens and you got a Magic 6 Pro basically. Meizu's known for copying designs so it's nothing new to me

                            I like that Meizu have the bezel in white that makes it the look there is no bezel.
                            And for 230 euro this 8/256GB version is a good price for what you get.

                            Just that you cant get that brand in a lot of places and well it's still the typical Chinese brand that give you maybe 2 OS updates on the good day

                                      Anonymous, 26 Sep 2024It’s definitely one of the phone brands to ever existNow own by Geely group. One of the biggest automakers from China. Maybe Meizu will still exist because it's own and controlled by big company.

                                        There's just one more thing, which is the update support.
