Meizu 17 photographed in the wild with battery indicator around the punch hole camera

The Meizu 17 has been spotted in the wild, showing off an unusual feature - a ring around its punch hole camera that indicates the battery charge. We've seen apps that do this, but this appears to be an official feature.

It helps that the selfie cam is positioned in the top right corner of the screen (most other makers put the punch hole in the top left or center). This way the battery charge is next to the signal strength indicator and the clock, just where it belongs.
