Meizu Note 22 4G, mblu 22 and mblu 22 Pro launch globally, marking the brand's return

Meizu has returned – the company unveiled three new phones at the MWC and is now launching them globally with the Fly with me event.

The company has a presence in over 30 countries in Latin America, Europe, Central Asia, the Middle East and the Asia Pacific. The three models from the MWC are joined by two new models, plus AR smart glasses (called StarV View) and a health-centric smart ring (StarV Ring2).

The Meizu Note 22 4G will range from $180 to $300. It is powered by the Helio G99 and features a 6.78” 1080p+ 120Hz OLED display. It is equipped with a 108MP main camera, 8MP ultra-wide and a 32MP selfie. It runs on a 5,000mAh battery with 40W charging. The Note is rated IP54 for splash resistance.

The large price range of the Note 22 4G is due to how many storage options there are – the base model starts at 128GB and the top model has 1TB. All versions have 8GB of RAM.

The two mblu models aim for affordability. The Meizu mblu 22 Pro will sell in the $100-$130 range. It’s based on a Helio G81 (12nm) and has a 6.79” 120Hz IPS LCD with 720p+ resolution. There’s a 50MP camera on the back and an 8MP camera on the front. This model has stereo speakers, a 3.5mm headphone jack and a microSD slot.

The base model has 4GB of RAM and 128GB storage. There are also a 6/256GB and an 8/256GB models. The battery has 5,000mAh capacity and charges at 18W. The phone is splash resistant without an IP rating.

The Meizu mblu 22 is a sub-$100 Android Go edition phone (it will go for $80-$90). It’s based on a 28nm Unisoc chip with 3/4GB of RAM and expandable storage. The 6.79” IPS LCD is similar to the Pro, except it runs at 90Hz. The cameras have lower resolution sensors (13MP rear, 5MP front) and the 5,000mAh battery drops to just 10W charging.

Note that there is now a 5G Meizu Note 22, though the hardware is quite different from the 4G version. There’s a Note 22 Pro too, but even that doesn’t have a 108MP camera like the Note 22 4G.

The new phones (and smart wearables) will be available in Russia, Spain, Malaysia and Vietnam first and then expand to other regions (30+ in total).

“Our All in AI strategy bridges hardware, software, and services to create a seamless smart life. We will continue to develop new products to bring consumers more cost-effective and personalised electronic products according to the habits of consumers in different countries and regions,” said Cheng Li, Meizu's CMO for Global Business.
