Design and Display
Basically, the Meizu V8 and V8 Pro has the same design schematics even if the material used in its build is very much different. While the V8 has a polycarbonate body, the Meizu V8 Pro is an all metal clad smartphone. Because of this, the smartphone weighs a bit more and definitely feels more premium to the touch. You can catch the V8 Pro in a black finish or a more flashy gold coating.
The Meizu V8 Pro stays on the same page in the display section with its ordinary model. In that regard, you’ve got a 5.7-inch display with the 1440 X 720 pixels. However, the screen has a commendable bezel reduction which makes the screen appear more premium than it actually is.
Battery and Camera
Also, the smartphone has a mediocre battery and a bit lesser battery capacity than the Meizu V8. Being a Pro version which is supposed to be better in all areas, the smartphone has a 3, 100mAh battery. Despite the Pro status, the smartphone doesn’t have fast charge on it.
Progressing into the league of dual camera smartphones, the Meizu V8 Pro comes with AI enhancements to deliver better shots. The rear has a 12MP main camera and a secondary 5MP camera for bokeh shots. At the front, it has a 5MP camera just like you have on the Meizu V8 and it also for the facial unlock feature.
Hardware and Software
A significant upgrade have been made to the hardware compared to what is on the less premium V8 model. You now have a MediaTek Hello P22 chipset with a PowerVR GE8320 GPU and a 4GB RAM. Internal storage is set at 64GB with an expansion boundary at 128GB with a Flyme UI 7.1 ladden Android 8.1 Oreo.
