According to the GeekBench screenshot, the Meizu 16 will be packed with a Snapdragon 845. That’s why it scores 2289 and 8865 in the single-core and multi-core tests, respectively. This is a common result for smartphones sporting an SND845.

Apart from the SND845 version, there will be the Snapdragon 710 variant like the Xiaomi Mi 8 and the VIVO NEX. It will be packed with a battery of 3010mAh capacity, while the SND845-powered version will come with a 3640mAh battery. Both models will support an on-screen fingerprint recognition.

At last, today, Huang Zhang was asked how much the Meizu 16 will cost. And he answered: “I have already reduced the company and channel gross margin to the minimum. But if you won’t be satisfied with its pricing, choose the X8.” Previously, Mei Zhang revealed the Meizu 16 would be the best-priced Snapdragon 845 model. He even said it will be priced almost identical to the Xiaomi Mi 8. Many netizens are sure the lower version of the Meizu 16 will cost less than 2000 yuan ($293).
