Meizu 16th Aurora Blue officially released!

The Meizu 16th gets a brand new colour option today with the Aurora Blue! Announced alongside their other new devices, the Meizu 16th Aurora Blue is a new variant of the flagship device, meant to be one of those hip and cool gradient colour options. It’s a stunning look for the device, and Meizu is clearly very proud of their achievement.

To obtain this look, Meizu utilized an advanced photo-sputtering process, which allows the preset color plate onto the glass and reflect the light to give the gradient effect. It’s supposedly much better compared to other alternatives like the one on Huawei P20, though it’s also 300% costlier.

The Meizu 16th Aurora Blue comes with a Snapdragon 845, 6GB of RAM, 64GB of native storage and an on-screen fingerprint reader. The display is a 6.0-inch Super AMOLED display with a Full-HD+ resolution. The rear features a 12MP + 20MP dual setup and there’s a single 20MP sensor sitting on the front.
