Since the release of previous smartphones from Meizu (Meizu 17 and Meizu 17 Pro). So the patient is more likely alive than dead? Or vice versa?

Like last year's devices, the new Meizu isvery serious and very expensive devices. Full-fledged and full-fledged flagships. In terms of characteristics, the 18 and 18 Pro are very close to each other. The main difference is the bigger one, with more serious cameras. Well, and more expensive.

The chipset is the most flagship. Qualcomm Snapdragon 888. Power is insane, about 700 thousand AnTuTu parrots.

SuperAMOLED screens, rounded. 6.2 ″ for Meizu 18 (almost compact) and 6.7 ″ for Meizu 18 Pro (almost standard). The resolution is the same and very high. 1440 × 3200. For a little brother, this gives an insane 566 ppi. For a senior - a little more modest, but still prohibitive 524 ppi. The refresh rate is high, 120 Hz.

The batteries are slightly different. 4000 mAh for Meizu 18 and 4500 mAh for Meizu 18 Pro. There is fast charging (36 and 40 W, respectively). Only the older model has wireless charging.

The front cameras have a resolution of 20 and 44 MP, respectively.

Meizu has 18 rear cameras three pieces. 64 + 16 + 8 MP. The main module, a wide-angle (also known as a macro), a simple telephoto. The main sensor is Sony IMX682.

Meizu 18 Pro has four cameras and they are smallmore serious. 50 + 32 + 8 + 0.3MP. Added ToF sensor. The rest of the set is the same. The main module, shirik-it-macro, telephoto. The main module is Samsung S5KGN1.

The fingerprint scanner is built into the screen.There is an NFC module, as well as support for 5G networks. The LTE bands are suddenly slightly different. But Band 20 is not here or there. The rest of "our" frequencies seem to be in place.

On sale already. So we are waiting for the first reviews in the very near future.
