Meizu Pro 7 Plus review: Two-Face

05 September 2017
Meizu is back with a bang! After the flagship-grade Pro 5, the company released a rather unimpressive Pro 6, and later on, an improved Pro 6 Plus. Just when we thought Meizu might be out of ideas, the Chinese are ready to wow us with the Meizu Pro 7 Plus: a dual-AMOLED dual-camera flagship that could innovate how we see notifications and how we take selfies.

      It seem that only the Pro 7, not the Plus has Band 20 support, is that correct?

        Will you update review after final software arrives.

        GPU tests can't tell much rather than feeding qualcomm trolls.

          Anonymous, 07 Sep 2017I don't play games on mobile phone. This phone suits my ne... moreeven if you play games you wont have any problem tho. in other words, this phone's chipset is more powerful than 3 years old snapdragon flagship chipset, that old chipset still can play any games without problem until now.

            Mumbai-Indians, 07 Sep 2017As expected can't trust Mediatek SOC's for their battery en... morei agree with battery endurance, mtk could have done better. but high raw gpu power is no use in android at the moment. even midranger chipset can already play many popular games smoothly.

I mean oneplus one with old snapdragon 801 with antutu 50k, has no problem playing any games until now. im not saying that mi6 is bad, but lots of ppl still keep their 3.5mm headphone.

              too bad my latest meizu device broke because of my mistake in dismantling it, now im using backup phone lenovo with 512mb ram, you just cant imagine how i am alive until now.

                AnonD-621147, 07 Sep 2017Can anyone confirm if this phone uses lte bands in the USA?... moreIt doesn't support US LTE bands.

                    Anonymous, 07 Sep 2017What about op5? Also 835 is leagues above anything x30 is. ... moreMy experience with Mi ui has been limited to the Redmi Note 3 pro (Global ROM) with the 650 and 3 GB RAM. These are decent specs and most apps run fantastic. Its just the UI has small stutters and freezes time to time. It also does not play nice with notifications for many apps.

                      harwey, 07 Sep 2017well,mate I never had Meizu,but perfomance wise,Mi6 is a be... moreIsnt it a pain to carry an adapter around. As a music afficonado, I use a range of high quality headphones as well as earphones from the likes of Audio-technica, Sennheiser and Bose. I want the freedom to be able to pop in any of those at any time I want, without having to look for a pesky adapter.

                      Over the years, a lot of what used to be common features have now become rare. Things like removable batteries are nearing extinction, but 3.5 mm jack is something I will never compromise on. Any phone I buy has to have a 3.5 mm jack.

                        Kodus to Meizu from being courageous in their design.
                        Hope to see more functionality of the 2nd screen. Keep it up.

                          One Plus 5 is cheaper and with massive 3D graphics performance and video playback battery life.

No buy for a lot of people. xia... morewell,mate I never had Meizu,but perfomance wise,Mi6 is a beast,a match for 1+5,and I like MIUI a lot,mine is heavily customized(launcher,themes,wallpapers,icon packs) and runs like a dream.Global ROM,all Google services,OTA updates,everthing is ubersmooth.Sorry,but that`s true fact,at least for now,I`m using it for three months now...and that 3.5mm jack-well I`m a sound engineer and didn`t like it at first but the audio output on Mi6 is simply brilliant...i did use adapter that came in the box,it`s great.and I bought another one,more expensive and that one is even better...so there you go

                                  xiaomi is nowhere near as smooth as meizu.

                                    Very good phone from Meizu,but after reading this review,well it isn`t a match in pretty much any category for competition...
                                    In China,for basicaly the same cash you can have Mi6 or 1+5,both superior in pretty much every department...apart from that back screen,,obviously..
                                    In EU,for the same money you can get Htc U11(6/128gb version!) or for little bit more S8 or Nokia 8,so cannot see why Meizu might be first choice for a potential buyer..and for 50Euro more you could have that new V30 beast from LG...it`ll be tough,Meizu

                                        Interesting innovative phone. Music mode, audio performance, camera quality and rear camera selfies are simply awesome. The battery life and the Helio X30, not so much. I think they should go back to using Exynos. BTW, the display and battery sections should have dwelled more on the secondary screen.
