Meizu has released the new X8 smartphone yesterday, along with the more affordable duo V8 and V8 Pro. The fourth smartphone that was quietly unveiled was the Meizu X8. It is a mixture of neat specs and low cost. This is Meizu’s first phone with the notch feature.
The phone has a 6.2-inch screen with Full HD+ resolution (2,220 x 1,080 pixels). It is powered by a Snapdragon 710 chipset paired with an octa-core CPU up to 2.2 GHz. The memory combinations are 4/64 GB, 6/64 GB, 6/128 GB.
As far as the camera is concerned, the Meizu X8 features a simple dual camera setup on the back – 12 MP f/1.9 is the primary sensor, while the secondary is there to enable Portrait Mode and has a 5 MP sensor. The selfie shooter is a regular 20 MP cam with f/2.0 aperture. Everyone is into Face Unlock now and Meizu follows suit – the X8 feature is called Face AE.
The face recognition feature is part of the AI-infused Flyme OS, based on Android Oreo. There is a 3,210 mAh battery with USB-C port positioned on the bottom, next to the speaker.
