Talk about innovations and the smartphone universe will leave your mouths wide open. All the way from China, Meizu has delivered the world’s first portless smartphone called the Meizu Zero. This was the same OEM that came out with the Meizu Pro 7 that had a secondary display on the back years ago when there was hardly any of such. The new phone lacks USB port, SIM slot, audio jack, speaker cut-out and buttons. Mesmerised yet? That’s what the Meizu Zero offers, and more.

Design and Display
Meizu Zero can be either called a portless phone or a holeless phone. The zero in its name got deduced from this lack of ports and buttons. The lack of buttons paved way for touch and pressure-sensitive buttons on the sides of the phone. For the USB port, wireless charging 18W tech got introduced. So there’s no need to carry USB cords and cables everywhere you go.
Seeing that there’s no slot for SIMs, the OEM introduced an embedded SIM (eeSIM) that’s incorporated in the smartphone. The giant 5.99-inch Super AMOLED screen isn’t only the display but also the speaker outlet. The absence of the speaker cut-out brought about the piezoelectric transducer. This makes the display vibrate in similar pattern to a speaker. And yes, the screen works with resolution of 1080 x 2340 pixels.
Battery and Camera
As at the time of writing, Meizu hasn’t divulged information about the phone’s battery capacity. But what we’ve gathered is that it’s a Li-Ion battery that’s non-removable and also fast charging.
Two heads are better than one, goes a popular adage. Meizu Zero’s rear cameras aren’t only double (12MP and 20MP) but they are also good. Their counterpart on the front side uses a single 20MP shooter to capture amazing selfies.
Hardware and Software
As much as we would have loved the latest SD855 chipset what you’ve got the Qualcomm Snapdragon 845 SoC on the smartphone. It draws power from Octa-core Kryo 385 CPU that has a max clock speed of 2.8GHz. Even more, Adreno 630 GPU is rightly placed to fine-tune crisp gaming and all-round graphics.
From the software angle, the freshest kid off the block, Android 9.0 Pie OS teams up with Meizu’s Flyme UI for an interesting experience. Options of 4GB and 6GB are available in the RAM region while the internal storage is in variations of 64GB and 128GB.
