The Meizu 20 series was made official in China. It comprises three identical-looking models: the Meizu 20, Meizu 20 Pro, and Meizu 20 Infinity.
All three models are considered to be the flagships as they are powered by Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 and run on Meizu’s new Flyme 10 operating system, which is based on an unspecified version of Android.

The standard Meizu 20 comes with a 144Hz refresh rate but measures 6.55 inches. The Infinity model also has a bigger screen measuring 6.79 inches and a 120Hz refresh rate. The screen appears nearly bezel-less, and the company says it achieved so by implementing equal width on all four sides.
The other common feature amongst the trio is the storage capacities, as they support up to 12GB of LPDDR5X RAM and up to 512GB of UFS 4.0 ROM. It is good to see Meizu opting for faster storage models.
The Meizu 20 Infinity has a triple camera array with a 50MP primary camera next to a 12MP super-wide-angle sensor that acts as the macro sensor and another 12MP telephoto lens. These rear cameras support 8K resolution in terms of video recording.
The Meizu 20 Pro takes the crown in optics, as it features a triple 50MP rear camera setup with 8K video recording. The Meizu 20, on the other hand, comes with a single 50MP primary camera, aided by a 16MP ultrawide-angle/macro camera and a 5MP telephoto lens.
On the front, all models feature a 32MP selfie shooter simultaneously utilized for facial recognition for authentication.
