Meizu Lucky 08 (256GB / 8GB RAM)

The Meizu Lucky 08 has a conventional, non-folding form factor with no rugged certification and no water resistance. It stands 163 mm tall and 77.5 mm wide, with a thickness of 8.6 mm and a total volume of 108.6395 cm³. At 202 g, it sits at a moderately substantial weight for a device of its size, reflecting a straightforward slab design without any specialized structural reinforcements.

The Meizu Lucky 08 features a 6.78″ OLED/AMOLED touchscreen with a resolution of 1264 x 2780 px and a pixel density of 450 ppi, producing a sharp and detailed image across the panel. The display runs at a 144Hz refresh rate and reaches a typical brightness of 800 nits, making content reasonably visible under various lighting conditions. There is no branded damage-resistant glass, no Always-On Display mode, and the screen does not support HDR10, HDR10+, or Dolby Vision; the device also lacks a secondary screen.

The Meizu Lucky 08 is driven by the Qualcomm Snapdragon 7s Gen 2, a 4 nm chipset with eight cores arranged in a big.LITTLE configuration — four performance cores at 2.4 GHz and four efficiency cores at 1.95 GHz — supported by multithreading, HMP, and a TrustZone security environment. Graphics are handled by the integrated Adreno 710 GPU running at 940 MHz, with support for DirectX 12, OpenGL 3.2, OpenGL ES 3.2, and OpenCL 2. The chip posts an AnTuTu score of 823,245, a Geekbench 6 single-core result of 1,015, and a multi-core result of 2,970. The device ships with 8GB of DDR5 RAM clocked at 3200 MHz across two memory channels, offering a maximum memory bandwidth of 25.6 GB/s and support for up to 16GB, paired with 256GB of internal storage. Additional platform capabilities include integrated LTE, 64-bit support, integrated graphics, and a thermal design power rating of 5W.

The Meizu Lucky 08 uses a dual-lens rear camera system combining a 108 MP primary sensor at f/2.4 and a 2 MP secondary lens at f/1.7, both using a CMOS sensor without back-side illumination. Autofocus options include phase-detection and touch autofocus as well as continuous autofocus during video recording, though laser autofocus is absent. The rear setup supports HDR mode, burst shooting, slow-motion video, in-camera panoramas, timelapse, and a range of manual controls covering exposure, ISO, focus, and white balance — while manual shutter speed, optical zoom, RAW capture, HDR10 recording, Dolby Vision recording, and 3D capture are not available. A single LED flash is present, with no dual-tone or RGB configuration. On the front, an 8 MP single-lens camera at f/2 handles selfies without a flash, an under-display placement, or a secondary lens.

The Meizu Lucky 08 runs Android 14 and includes a broad set of privacy controls, covering clipboard warnings, location privacy options, camera and microphone access management, and the ability to block app tracking — though Mail Privacy Protection and cross-site tracking blocking are not present. On the customization side, the OS supports dark mode, dynamic theming, theme customization, widgets, and customizable notifications, while focus modes and app offloading are not available. Usability features include split-screen multitasking, Picture-in-Picture, full-page screenshots, a media picker, sharing intents, Live Text, an extra dim mode, a child lock, and the ability to play games while they are still downloading. On-device machine learning is supported alongside offline voice recognition and voice commands, and the system functions as a multi-user environment with device tracking capability. OS updates do not arrive directly from the vendor, and Quick Start and Wi-Fi password sharing are absent.

The Meizu Lucky 08 is equipped with a 6000 mAh rechargeable, non-removable battery that supports 45W wired fast charging, with a charger included in the box. A battery level indicator is present, giving users a clear view of remaining charge at a glance. Wireless charging is not supported, and the battery cannot be removed by the user.

The Meizu Lucky 08 has stereo speakers and supports a solid range of Bluetooth audio codecs, including aptX, aptX HD, and aptX Adaptive, though aptX Lossless and LDAC are not available. There is no 3.5 mm headphone jack and no built-in radio.

The Meizu Lucky 08 supports 5G connectivity with a dual SIM slot, download speeds up to 2900 MBits/s, and upload speeds up to 1500 MBits/s. Wi-Fi covers the 802.11n (Wi-Fi 4) and 802.11ac (Wi-Fi 5) standards, and Bluetooth 5.1 is on board alongside a USB Type-C port. For navigation, the device includes GPS with Galileo support, a compass, a gyroscope, and an accelerometer, while a barometer, infrared sensor, heart rate monitor, ANT+, and HDMI output are all absent. Security is handled through a fingerprint scanner, with no 3D facial recognition or iris scanner present. The device does not include crash detection, emergency SOS via satellite, DLNA certification, motion or optical tracking, a built-in projector, or a stylus.

The Meizu Lucky 08 includes a video light for use during video recording, while the display is flat and uses neither sapphire glass nor an e-paper panel.
