The Meizu 22, which was to come out earlier this year, has been delayed for Turbocharging since September 2025. The company made it known that it is working on “13 algorithms” to offer better camera experience, which might come with 10x zoom support. This delay, though, has put the Meizu fans on the wait list slightly longer although the brand does promise a better photography performance than we’ve ever seen before.
And although late, Meizu opened its reservation in China for the Meizu 22. Early customers also receive exclusive gifts — magnet cases from start-up Pandaer and a “365” repair service. But the real buzz is starting to grow around the Meizu 23, a device that could well be the actual next-generation flagship device for the company.
Meizu 23 will be powered by Snapdragon 8 Elite 2
As per leaks, the Meizu 23 could launch with the Snapdragon 8 Elite 2 processor.
