Meizu Zero Is The First Phone Without Ports Or Physical Buttons

While the phone maker Vivo is set to unveil its hole-free phone tomorrow, another Chinese phone maker Meizu has just introduced its Meizu Zero which is also a hole-free smartphone. As a hole-free device, the phone will have no headphone jack, no SIM card slot, no port for charging, and also no speaker grills.

In addition, Meizu also removes the physical volume rockers and power button. There was hardly any information relating to the phone and the Chinese phone maker only teased one or two days ahead of the launch.

Although the Meizu Zero is a hole-free phone, it is still not a bezel-less phone. It still features a curved display similar to the Samsung flagship devices. It is a 5.99-inch OLED display with an on-screen fingerprint sensor. The phone is powered by a Snapdragon 845 processor with LPDDR4X RAM.

In terms of camera, there are Sony IMX350 and Sony IMX380 sensors on the rear along with a single 20MP selfie camera on the front.

As the phone doesn’t have a physical button and volume rockers anymore, Meizu goes for capacitive sensors similar to the ones that HTC has been using for Edge Sense to replace them. Moreover, the physical speaker grills are also replaced by piezoelectric transducers that are used on the Xiaomi Mix lineup, and it is called mSound 2.0.

For the charging port, Meizu uses its own Super mCharge Wireless with 18W fast wireless charging. However, it would be quite inconvenient to carry a phone that is only limited to wireless charging only. For the SIM card slot, Meizu uses the eSIM instead of the traditional SIM card slots.

Meizu hasn’t revealed the RAM and storage variants of this handset. Due to the fact that the phone has no hole whatsoever, it is IP68 certified which means it is waterproof. The Chinese phone maker claims that they had developed this handset for around two years.

For now, Meizu remains silent about the launch date and pricing of the phone. We will update as soon as there are new details coming out.
