Key Takeaways
1. Meizu is launching a new flagship model, the 22, featuring a trendy compact design measuring 71mm in width.
2. The 22 will maintain a standard Meizu model number despite its compact size.
3. The device is expected to have a rated battery capacity of 5,370mAh, which may be seen as a drawback compared to competitors like the OnePlus 13T with a 6,100mAh battery.
4. Meizu plans to emphasize advanced rear cameras and Flyme AI features to enhance the 22’s appeal despite its battery limitations.
5. The launch of the Meizu 22 is anticipated by July 2025.
Meizu has suggested that its efforts to remain competitive in the flagship smartphone sector involve launching a new model to follow the 21, featuring a trendy compact design.
Compact Design and Dimensions
The upcoming 22 is expected to measure only 71 millimeters (mm) in width, potentially making it easier to fit into pockets compared to the 71.7mm OnePlus 13T.
Despite the compact size, the device will retain a standard Meizu model number, as reported by the well-known leaker Digital Chat Station.
Battery Capacity Concerns
The model “M582Q” may surprise users in another way, possibly in a negative light due to its battery performance. Digital Chat Station has also revealed that the 22 will possess a rated battery capacity of 5,370mAh, which could equate to a typical capacity of around 5,500mAh, similar to the previous generation OnePlus 12R, which is more of a sub-flagship model.
This could present a significant drawback when compared to the OnePlus 13T’s 6,100mAh battery, and even the global version, the 13s, could outdo the 22 with a slightly lower capacity of 5,850mAh.
Launch and Features
To compensate for the battery limitations, Meizu may focus heavily on the 22’s anticipated advanced rear cameras and Flyme AI features during its launch, which is now expected by July 2025, at the latest.
The OnePlus 13T is currently available in Europe, starting at €537 through TradingShenzhen.
