Meizu 17 Lite Review: specs and features, camera quality test, gaming benchmark, user opinions and photos

Meizu 17 Lite - an unnoticed bestseller

It's hard to admit that the Chinese company Meizu has lost much of its fame and fans. A few years ago, the manufacturer's smartphones fought for the market audience on a par with the best representatives of China's smartphones, but today the corporation is making its final sighs and spending its last funds in the hope of finding a buyer. Unfortunately, without decent marketing, even such an attractive phone as the hero of today's review has every chance to pass by the majority of users.

The design of the novelty is amazing, as well as that of the more expensive flagship. The case of high quality glass and metal fits perfectly in the hand thanks to the excellent ergonomics and slightly reduced dimensions of the model. The horizontal line of four photomodules looks great, the same words apply to the bezelless 6.2-inch display. The screen features an integrated fingerprint reader and a 20MP front - facing camera in the upper right corner. The AMOLED panel is endowed with excellent brightness and contrast. Although the image does not have an increased refresh rate, it is characterized by a resolution of 2340 x 1080 pixels, DC Dimming technology to eliminate the negative PWM effect for the eyes.

The technical characteristics are not flagship, but productive. The Mediatek Dimensity 800 processor will not leave the owner of the gadget without 5G networks, as well as high graphics settings in many resource-intensive games. Of course, this is also a huge merit of 6GB / 8GB of RAM , the MaliG57 MC4 video adapter. A lot of internal storage has been allocated ( 128 / 256GB of ROM ), so you won't have to be sad because of the lack of a microSD card slot.

The photographic capabilities are simplified compared to the expensive predecessor, however, the installed 48-, 12-, 5- and 2-megapixel modules, led by the Sony IMX586 sensor, are extremely good. Optical stabilization significantly reduces the number of blurry shots when shooting dynamic subjects and low light. The battery capacity has reached 3790mAh , which allows up to 8-9 hours of active screen time. There is also fast charging at 30W , NFC contactless payments. All that is missing for complete happiness is a separate headphone jack, stereo speakers and a better branded shell. Still, the FlymeOS interface is very distinctive. As a result, the device turned out to be beautiful, balanced and functional for its price category. Only this is unlikely to seriously affect his popularity.
