A few weeks ago Meizu officially confirmed that the Meizu 20 Pro will be powered by a Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 chipset and we saw it from the Geekbench 5 and AnTuTu scorecards. Now both the Pro and the Vanilla Meizu 20 have surfaced in the score database for the new Geekbench 6 test, both using the 8 Gen 2 chip (codenamed “Kalama”).

The two models actually passed the same single and multi-core tests and each came with 12GB of RAM. Note that this time the phones were identified by their real names instead of model numbers like “m2391”.

However, Meizu 20 and 20 Pro will offer identical performance, the Pro will stand out in other respects. The teasers revealed that the Meizu 20 Pro will feature a 10-bit QHD+1-120Hz display, a Samsung E6 LTPO panel, with a peak brightness of 1,800 nits. The main camera will feature a 50MP (1/1.56-inch) sensor with OIS, and the 5,000mAh battery will support 50W wireless charging.

There have been only a few details about the vanilla Meizu 20, but it looks like it will be some sort of gaming phone with a 10-bit 144Hz display. There should be other differences as well, but we will have to be patient.

The Meizu 20 Pro will support the CCC 3.0 digital key standard for cars, which is part of the tight integration between the smartphone maker and its EV-focused parent company. We’re not sure if the vanilla model will offer the same functionality.

Meizu has not yet set a date for its return to the smartphone market, but it will probably be before the end of the month considering that it is already blindly collecting pre-orders (it has over 300,000, although this does not mean much since it costs only 1 yuan). These pre-orders end on March 14 – we might not see the full reveal tomorrow, but we should be getting at least one new set of teasers.
