Overview
The Meizu V8 Pro is a dual SIM Android smartphone with a 5.7-inch IPS display, a metal body, and a dual rear camera setup. It measures 147.5 x 72.7 x 8.1 mm, weighs 159 g, and comes in black and gold finishes. A fingerprint sensor sits on the rear, within easy reach of the index finger.
The 720 x 1440 pixel display delivers roughly 282 PPI with multitouch support and 16 million colors. Its 450 nits of brightness helps keep the screen readable in bright sunlight. Under the hood, a Mediatek Helio P22 chipset pairs a 2 GHz octa-core Cortex-A53 CPU and PowerVR GE8320 GPU with 4GB of RAM and 64GB of built-in storage, which can be expanded with a microSD card of up to 128GB. The phone ships with Android 8.1 Oreo and Meizu's Flyme UI. Its graphics hardware suits routine and moderately demanding games, so it can handle everyday multitasking, browsing, and casual gaming without strain.
Photography relies on a rear setup of a 12 MP f/2.2 lens and a 5 MP f/2.2 lens, with autofocus, phase detection, touch focus, panorama mode, geo-tagging, and a dual-LED dual-tone flash. Video recording reaches 1080p at 30fps. The front camera is a 5 MP f/1.9 unit for selfies and video calls. A 3100 mAh non-removable Li-ion battery powers the phone, and charging is handled through a microUSB 2.0 port.
On the connectivity side, the V8 Pro supports 4G LTE-A with Cat6 speeds of up to 300 Mbps download and 50 Mbps upload, alongside 3G HSPA, dual-band Wi-Fi with Wi-Fi Direct and hotspot, Bluetooth 5.0, and GPS with A-GPS and GLONASS support. It includes a 3.5mm audio jack, a torch, and active noise cancellation with a dedicated microphone, along with built-in document and photo/video editors. NFC is not included. This phone suits buyers who want a large-screen device for media, messaging, and light gaming, and who do not need contactless payment support.
