Meizu M16th, M6T, and C9 Specifications
Meizu first entered the Indian smartphone market a few years back, however, it could not really fare well against other Chinese rivals such as Xiaomi, Oppo, and Vivo. The Chinese company has reimagined its strategy and decided to make an entry into the smartphone market in the country with as many as three smartphones targeted across three price brackets.
The flagship Meizu M16th stands at the premium end of the line that has been introduced in India by Meizu. It comes with a 6-inch full-HD+ AMOLED display with an aspect ratio of 18:9. It is powered by a Qualcomm Snapdragon 845 processor paired with 6GB or 8GB of RAM and 64GB or 128GB of internal storage. The storage is further expandable via microSD card.
The Meizu M16th comes with the water cooling system that is usually found in the gaming smartphones such as the Asus ROG Phone, Samsung Galaxy Note 9, and more. The Meizu M16th comes with an in-display fingerprint sensor that the company claims can recognise and unlock the device in just 0.25 seconds. The smartphone is backed by a 3010mAh battery that is claimed to deliver a 10 full-day standby. It supports fast charging that can juice up the battery by 67 per cent in 30 minutes, said the company.
As for the cameras, the Meizu M16th comes with a dual camera setup that comprises a 12-megapixel primary Sony IMX380 sensor and a 20-megapixel telephoto sensor at the back.

The company said that the smartphone’s cameras are composed of CMOS sensors that are better than the others.
Coming to the second smartphone that the company launched alongside its flagship device is Meizu M6T. The Meizu M6T is touted to be a young-centric smartphone. The smartphone sports a 5.7-inch HD+ display with an 18:9 aspect ratio.
