The belief of Meizu Note in creating good phones for the masses has never changed. What new experience does this all-new national smartphone, the Meizu Note 16 Pro, bring?

Beyond-Tier Experience

The Meizu Note 16 Pro features a 6.78-inch 1.5K eye-protecting high-brightness flat display with a 144Hz refresh rate and 2160Hz instantaneous touch sampling rate, delivering smooth operation and visual experience. It also achieves a manual peak brightness of 700 nits, a global peak brightness of 1600 nits, and a local peak brightness of 4500 nits, ensuring clear visibility even under midday sunlight. For eye protection, it incorporates flagship-level Natural Eye Protection technology, supporting hardware-level low blue light, DC-like dimming, and 2160Hz high-frequency PWM dimming at low brightness.

The front display boasts oversized rounded corners (R-angles), offering a significantly better visual experience compared to many budget-tier models in the same price range. Additionally, the screen

In today's fiercely competitive smartphone market, the budget segment remains a battleground for major brands. Consumers now demand more from affordable devices—not just low prices but also exceptional performance, battery life, imaging, and durability. The Meizu Note 16 Pro aims to meet these expectations, striving to stand out in the crowded budget market with a premium experience. But can it truly deliver and become a bestseller? Let’s dive into the details.

Built Tough: Reliable in Extreme Conditions

Daily use exposes phones to drops, water, and dust. The Note 16 Pro tackles these challenges head-on with robust protection.

Its Titan Shield Alloy Frame borrows from automotive crash beams and airbag design, reinforcing the corners with 15 energy-absorbing foam pads. This structure disperses impact force, reducing drop damage by 50% compared to conventional designs.

With dual IP66/IP68 certification, it withstands 2m underwater immersion for 36 hours and passes rigorous

Titan Shield Alloy Structure Takes Durability to the Next Level

The durability of a smartphone is crucial for users, and the high cost of after-sales service is also a major concern. The screen and motherboard account for almost two-thirds of a phone's after-sales cost, with their actual prices being enough to buy a new phone altogether.

To address this, the Meizu Note 16 returns to the essence of durability with the Titan Shield Alloy Structure. It adopts the same anti-collision beam design + airbag cushioning as the Pro model, reinforcing all four corners and incorporating multiple energy-absorbing foam layers, significantly improving drop resistance. Additionally, its ports have undergone 500,000 plug-and-pull tests and 480 hours of high-temperature, high-humidity testing, achieving a rugged and durable build. It has also earned SGS’s five-star drop resistance certification and passed IP65 dust and water resistance tests.

Speaking of the screen, the Meizu Note 16 features a 6.78-inch

The Meizu Note16 series enters the fiercely competitive budget phone market with a "Nation's Premium Choice" stance, aiming to redefine value benchmarks through differentiation.

Key data from Xingji Meizu's sales report shows that within five hours of launch, the series achieved 10 times the sales of its predecessor across all channels, even ranking in the top three of JD.com's price-tier sales chart.

Xiao Bo, General Manager of Xingji Meizu Group China, previously stated that creating affordable yet high-performing phones for everyone is the key to this significant sales growth.

However, a phone's quality cannot be judged solely by specs and price—hands-on experience is essential.

Take the Meizu Note16 standard version, for example. As a budget phone, it may not seem impressive at first glance, but its 8GB+128GB storage configuration rivals competitors' high-end models.

In testing, daily usage feels smooth, with no excessive heating even during prolonged use, showcasing strong stability.

The Lifeme Meizu EA2 Fast Charge DAC Headphone Amplifier comes with an independent DAC decoding chip. When using headphones to listen to music, the improvement in sound quality is very noticeable, especially when listening to delicate tracks - the bass becomes more solid, the treble becomes clearer, as if every detail has been amplified.

Moreover, its T-shaped design not only allows connection of 3.5mm headphones, but its PD 27W fast charging capability lets me charge while gaming. If any friends are particular about sound quality, they should definitely give this a try!

Under the current near-universal adoption of Type-C phones, the retention of 3.5mm headphone jacks has become increasingly rare. However, many consumers still prefer using wired headphones or 3.5mm jack-related products. Despite the current popularity of wireless earphones, wired headphones remain favored by many consumers due to advantages like low latency and high stability. Moreover, as various music platforms gradually support lossless audio quality, we've seen audiophiles connecting "small tails" or even "small bricks" to their phones for music playback. These devices not only solve the absence of a 3.5mm jack but also take over the phone's decoding chip responsibilities, providing users with better audio decoding output. Today, we're doing a simple unboxing of the Meizu Lifeme EA2 DAC headphone amplifier.

For music lovers or audiophiles, owning a few high-quality 3.5mm HiFi headphones is a must. However, as smartphones increasingly remove the 3.5mm jack in favor of TWS Bluetooth earbuds, these wired headphones often end up forgotten in drawers.

Even though Bluetooth technology has advanced to version 5.4, improving high-fidelity audio reproduction, it still suffers from latency and bandwidth limitations. In contrast, high-end HiFi headphones remain unmatched in sound quality and haven’t been phased out by Bluetooth.

Initially, phone manufacturers included USB-C to 3.5mm adapters, but with the rise of TWS earbuds, these accessories have been "eco-friendly" removed, leaving 3.5mm headphones with no way to connect.

Meizu, with 20 years of acoustic expertise, offers a practical solution for audiophiles—

Although Bluetooth earphones are very popular nowadays, if you use your phone to listen to music, audiophiles may feel that Bluetooth earphones are slightly lacking in sound quality. For those who pursue superior audio, wired earphones are recommended for phone music playback. However, if your wired earphones are high-end, high-impedance models, the phone’s output may not fully unleash their potential. In this case, a headphone amplifier is needed to adapt to these mid-to-high-end, high-impedance earphones, enhancing power and refining sound quality for the best audio experience.

Meizu’s headphone amplifier: lifeme HiFi DAC Headphone Amplifier Pro, features dual chips, 60mW output power, and supports 60W fast charging. For audiophiles seeking high-fidelity sound, it can fully revive your high-end earphones.
