We know most of the stuff about the phones as it was spotted in TENAA last month.

The Meizu 15 Lite will have a 5.46 inch LCD Display, but we’re not sure about the processor. At the same time, Meizu 15 will have the same screen size but an AMOLED Display. The top-tier variant- The Meizu 15 Plus will come with a 5.95 inch QHD AMOLED Display. Speaking of the chips onboard, the Meizu 15 Plus will have the Exynos 8895 SoC. The same processor is used in Samsung S9.

The Meizu 15 will have the Snapdragon 660, the mid-tier powerful processor. Moving on to the optics, the Meizu 15 Lite will have a single rear camera. At the same time, the other two will have dual camera configurations at the back. All three smartphones have a 20 Megapixel selfie shooter. There’s something very unusual with these phones. They don’t have 18:9 displays.

Neither do they have the iconic iPhone-X notch. This will make many people prefer these Meizu phones. The Meizu 15 Plus seems to have a glass back. Maybe this will mean Wireless Charging. Meizu had patented an in-screen camera some weeks ago, but it is nowhere to be seen in the Meizu 15 Plus. Perhaps it will come up in the Meizu 16 lineup. Well, hang on till the launch ! Express what you think about the new smartphones in the comments below!
