Meizu Note 22 Pro 5G

The Meizu Note 22 Pro 5G has a conventional, non-folding design that measures 163.8 mm tall, 76.2 mm wide, and 8.4 mm thick, with a total volume of approximately 104.85 cm³ and a weight of 197.5 g. It carries an IP68 ingress protection rating, classifying it as fully waterproof, though it does not feature a rugged build intended for heavy-duty or extreme conditions.

The Meizu Note 22 Pro 5G features a 6.78″ OLED/AMOLED touchscreen with a resolution of 1224 x 2720 px and a pixel density of 440 ppi, delivering sharp and detailed visuals. The panel runs at a 144Hz refresh rate and reaches a typical brightness of 1600 nits, supported by a contrast ratio of 5000:1 for deep blacks and well-defined highlights. An Always-On Display mode is available, keeping select information visible at all times without fully waking the screen. The display does not support HDR10, HDR10+, or Dolby Vision, has no secondary screen, and does not use branded damage-resistant glass.

The Meizu Note 22 Pro 5G is driven by the Qualcomm Snapdragon 7s Gen 3 system-on-chip, fabricated on a 4 nm process and paired with 16 GB of LPDDR5 RAM running at 3200 MHz and 512 GB of internal storage. The octa-core CPU operates across three frequency clusters — one core at 2.5 GHz, three at 2.4 GHz, and four at 1.8 GHz — with a turbo speed of 2.4 GHz, and makes use of big.LITTLE architecture, Heterogeneous Multi-Processing, and multithreading across 8 threads for efficient workload distribution. Graphics are handled by the integrated Adreno 710 GPU clocked at 1050 MHz, supporting DirectX 12, OpenGL 3.2, OpenGL ES 3.2, and OpenCL 2, with 128 shading units and a maximum memory bandwidth of 25.6 GB/s. The chip carries a thermal design power of 5W, supports 64-bit processing, includes integrated LTE and TrustZone security, and scores 1162 single-core and 3239 multi-core on Geekbench 6, alongside 893 single-core and 3242 multi-core on Geekbench 5.

The Meizu Note 22 Pro 5G features a triple rear camera system with sensors at 50 MP, 8 MP, and 2 MP, paired with apertures of f/1.8, f/2.2, and f/2.4 respectively, using a CMOS sensor type without a back-illuminated sensor. Autofocus options include phase-detection and touch autofocus as well as continuous autofocus during video recording, though laser autofocus is not present, and there is no optical image stabilization or optical zoom. A single LED flash is included — not dual-tone or RGB — and the camera supports HDR mode, burst shooting, slow-motion video, timelapse, and in-camera panoramas, while manual controls cover exposure, ISO, focus, and white balance, though manual shutter speed is unavailable and RAW capture is not supported. On the front, an 8 MP single-lens camera sits at f/2.1 without an LED flash and is not positioned under the display. HDR10 recording, Dolby Vision recording, 360-degree panoramas, and 3D photo or video capture are all absent from this camera setup.

The Meizu Note 22 Pro 5G runs Android 15, a free and open-source platform that supports multiple user accounts 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 cross-site tracking blocking and Mail Privacy Protection are not available. Customization options include theme customization, dynamic theming, dark mode, an extra dim mode, home screen widgets, and customizable notifications, while focus modes and Wi-Fi password sharing are absent. The OS supports on-device machine learning, offline voice recognition, and voice commands, alongside practical multitasking features such as split-screen, Picture-in-Picture, and the ability to play games while they are still downloading. Additional capabilities include Live Text, full-page scrolling screenshots, a media picker, app offloading, a child lock, sharing intents, battery health monitoring, and device position tracking. Direct OS updates from the vendor are not provided, and the device cannot function as a PC replacement or use Quick Start.

The Meizu Note 22 Pro 5G is equipped with a 6200 mAh rechargeable battery that is non-removable and supports 80W wired fast charging, with a charger included in the box. Wireless charging is not available, but a battery level indicator is present to keep track of remaining charge at a glance.

The Meizu Note 22 Pro 5G includes stereo speakers and supports a range of Bluetooth audio codecs, including aptX, aptX HD, and aptX Adaptive, while aptX Lossless and LDAC are not available. There is no 3.5 mm headphone jack, so wired audio relies on other connection methods.

The Meizu Note 22 Pro 5G supports 5G connectivity and accommodates two SIM cards, with wireless networking covering Wi-Fi 4, Wi-Fi 5, and Wi-Fi 6 and a maximum download speed of 2900 Mbit/s. Bluetooth 5.4 is on board, and the device connects via a USB Type-C port running USB 2.0, though there is no HDMI output, no external memory slot, and no DLNA certification. Location and motion sensing is handled by GPS with Galileo support, a gyroscope, accelerometer, and compass, while a barometer, infrared sensor, heart rate monitor, and ANT+ are all absent. Security relies on a fingerprint scanner, with no 3D facial recognition or iris scanner available, and the device does not support crash detection or emergency SOS via satellite. A stylus is not included, and the phone lacks motion tracking, optical tracking, and a built-in projector.

The Meizu Note 22 Pro 5G includes a video light for use during video recording, while its display is flat rather than curved and uses neither sapphire glass nor an e-paper panel.
