Today we can confirm its return with the Meizu 20, a smartphone that has quite a striking design and, frankly, I quite liked it.
In general lines we can elements thatThey remind you a lot of Apple’s iPhone 14, such as the frame, the buttons, the edges of the screen and the completely flat finish of the front and back. we also see other nuances that bring it closer to Samsung’s Galaxy S23, such as the front camera integrated into a floating island positioned in the center or the three rear cameras arranged vertically. A rather curious “hybrid” design but very well executed, really.
