The 3C listing doesn’t give much information about the handset but it is listed to include a UP0830S charger which is the original Meizu’s fast charger that supports 24W rapid charging. That means the upcoming flagship will come with Meizu’s mCharge support. Hopefully, Meizu will equip the Meizu 16s with the Super mCharge capability that was previously introduced at the Mobile World Congress 2017. The technology hasn’t been featured on an actual phone for now.
