A couple of previous leaks have indicated that the Meizu 17 smartphone series would be a flagship lineup. It is said to pack the Qualcomm Snapdragon 865 SoC with support for 5G, 4G, VoLTE, and even 3G networks. Reports have also suggested that the upcoming smartphone would have LPDDR5 RAM with 8GB and 12GB variants paired with 128GB and 256GB storage.

The Meizu 17 and the Meizu 17 Pro smartphones are said to have internal storage supports UFS 3.0 speeds for faster read/write times. Some of the other speculations have noted that it would feature a 6.5-inch AMOLED display with a punch-hole cutout housing the selfie camera.

A 4,500mAh battery with 30W fast charging support is said to power the smartphone. The camera details have been unclear so far, but reports suggest it comes with a quad-camera setup at the rear. The launch is likely a few weeks away and will mostly be an online event considering the COVID-19 crisis.
