The main difference between the vanilla Meizu 17 and the Pro version come from the finished material. Specifically, the vanilla model has a glass back while the Pro version's back is made of ceramic.

On the back, we can see that this year's flagships have a completely different camera design compared to previous lineups. Now, the four rear cameras are placed horizontally, looking quite similar to LG devices. Both versions will have the same 64MP f / 1.8 main camera using Sony IMX686 sensor.
