The Chinese smartphone maker Meizu is made its India comeback a grand affair by launching three new smartphones along with a bunch of accessories. Since abruptly seizing operations last year, the only smartphone we saw from the brand was the Meizu Pro 7 which wasn’t able to make a mark among the buyers due to some factors.

Meziu at their press event today in New Delhi, brought their flagship, the Meizu 16^th along with two budget smartphones, the M6T and C9. The naming seems all over the place.

Their newest flagship, the 16^th features a 6-inch Full HD+ display with an impressive with 91.18% screen-to-body ratio. The panel used here is a Super AMOLED sourced from Samsung. The phone is powered by Snapdragon 845 with 8GB of RAM and 128GB of internal storage. To tackle the heating issues, Meizu has added a copper cooling tube which we have seen on some flagships in the past.

There is also an addition of the in-display fingerprint scanner, a technology that is slowly being adopted by a bunch of OEM’s. On the imaging front, the 16^th packs a 12MP (f/1.8 aperture)(Sony IMX380) + 20MP (f/2.6 aperture) (Sony IMX350) dual camera at the back and a 20MP front-facing camera with a f/2.0 aperture.
