Don't argue about Snapdragon 7+ Gen 3 or Snapdragon 8s Gen 3, both of them are flagship architectures of the same origin as Snapdragon 8 Gen 3, and it is a matter of frequency, and there is not much difference in use.
And if you really compare the flagship chips, they have moving knives in some stealth configurations such as cache and baseband, and the price is even about to catch up with the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 model, so theoretically now is not the best time to start, it is recommended to wait for the party.
Moreover, Meizu will also enter the mid-range next, and will release the second model after the Meizu 21 Pro, the Meizu 21 Note, which is directly benchmarked against the Ace 3. is still using the real flagship Snapdragon 8 Gen 2, which is much stronger than 7+ Gen 3 and 8s Gen 3 in all aspects.
According to the revelations of the digital chatting station, the Meizu 21 Note is equipped with a mainstream 5500mAh large battery and 66W fast charging. To be reasonable, although this machine is positioned in the mid-range, it should be Meizu's first 5500mAh model, and its own flagships don't have this treatment, so it's long overdue to keep up with the mainstream.
The screen is equipped with a 6.8-inch Tianma T7 straight screen, which supports low-brightness 2160Hz high-frequency PWM dimming and high-brightness DC dimming, and eye protection is not bad. However, because it is a Tianma screen, the quality of the screen may still need to be studied, but at least it will not be worse than the Meizu 20 little yellow duck screen, stay on the sidelines.
As for the rear, it is equipped with a 50-million-pixel Samsung GN5 main camera + 8-million-pixel Sony IMX355 ultra-wide-angle. Imaging has not been Meizu's strong point, so there is no need to expect too much, and the hardware and algorithms are a bit out of step with the times.
However, Meizu is still more persistent in details, and Meizu 21 Note is likely to continue the ultrasonic fingerprint, which is an "ancestral gene", which is easier to use than the mainstream short-throw fingerprints on the market, which can be regarded as a big killer move that can break wrists with others.
Other things like the 0809 mEngine Ultra X-axis linear motor, white bezels, and dual-band GPS are expected to be retained as well.
It can be said that the Meizu 21 Note does not take the bucket machine route, but focuses on differentiation, maybe the image screen is weak, but the performance and edge configuration give you the flagship experience as much as possible. (See the table below for the overall configuration forecast)
Anyway, the price of this machine may not be competitive at 2000 yuan, it is estimated that it will be the same as the recent batch of new machines, playing the cost-effective route of 1999 yuan, and the sales volume of comprehensive products should be much better than their own flagships.
