Overview

• Meizu shared teaser images on Weibo on July 29, claiming its upcoming flagship will feature 1.2 mm bezels—the slimmest ever on a smartphone display.
• The handset’s all-white front design challenges industry norms by combining edge-to-edge display ambitions with a front panel color that typically increases manufacturing failures.
• Meizu’s R&D team developed a proprietary LIPO process and complex six-layer panel method, which initially generated higher defect rates during trial production.
• Visuals suggest the Meizu 22 will maintain a compact form factor and design language similar to last year’s Meizu 21, though screen size and release date remain unconfirmed.
• After announcing its 2024 exit from Android smartphone hardware, Meizu positions the 22 as its likely final handset before shifting resources entirely to AI solutions.
