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.

As Meizu's first mid-range product after its return to the market, the performance of the Meizu 21 Note is undoubtedly a topic of interest for many Meizu fans.

We got our hands on the "Meizu White" version of the Meizu 21 Note. Next, let’s start with the specifications and see how this mid-range debut performs after Meizu's comeback.

Design
The packaging of the Meizu 21 Note adopts a minimalist design language. Apart from the product name and the slogan "Welcome to the all-new Meizu AI device," there are no extra elements on the front.

Opening the box reveals the phone itself, a clear case, and standard accessories like the 66W power adapter.

Like its packaging, the Meizu 21 Note inherits the minimalist ID design of the Meizu 21 series. The main camera, ultra-wide lens, and flash are aligned on the pure white glass back, with no unnecessary lines or elements.

The main camera of the Meizu 21 Note features a 50MP sensor with a 1.56-inch size. While not outstanding by today's standards, it
