Expert reviews and ratings

Chinese phone brands OnePlus, Xiaomi and Huawei are now sold officially in the west but you should still consider saving even more money on the Meizu 16s. It has the same excellent performance as the 7 Pro, Mi 9 and P30 Pro from those other companies...

I loved using the 16s for the past few weeks. I actually found myself using and reaching for this phone more often than my US$900 Android flagship. The screen is a joy to use and without a notch or punch hole it felt very immersive. The camera is great,...

If you hate notches and dig affordable flagship phones, this $475 Meizu flagship is for you. Meizu has improved upon last year's core hardware which makes the Meizu 16s a more compelling package although I'd have been very happy if they didn't skip the...

Meizu's take on the issue of bezels is a bit unique. With the Meizu 16th model, the company paved the way for a design that embraces the bezels (our 16th hands-on here! ) around the display. The new Meizu 16S takes the same design to another level by...

Le Meizu 16s réussit sans mal à se donner des airs de smartphone très haut de gamme. Agréable autant pour les yeux que pour les mains, c'est un vrai bijou. Ses performances sont à la hauteur de ses promesses, tout comme son autonomie parvient à le faire...

Pour le retour de Meizu en France, le 16s est un candidat intéressant. Particulièrement puissant, endurant et bien fini, le smartphone possède de sérieux atouts. Cependant, il fait un faux pas en photo qui ne passe pas inaperçu quand les concurrents...

Quante marche cinesi vi vengono a mente? Probabilmente Huawei ed Honor. Sono di certo le marche più popolari al momento, ma non dobbiamo dimenticare nemmeno marchi come la Meizu. Anche se la loro ultima serie – la 16th – non ha un grosso impatto in...
