Meizu has launched a new smartphone in the Chinese market named the “Lucky 08”. Keeping the weird name aside, the phone is packed with AI features, thanks to the company’s Flyme AI OS.
Design-wise, the phone has a unique camera module design on the rear. There is a circular camera module with a dual camera setup and an LED flash. The power button on the side is painted red, and this also doubles as a shortcut for the AI features when you double-press it.
Just to name a few AI features, the Meizu Luck 08 has AI wallpapers, AI call summary, AI photo, Text to Image, AI webpage summary, AI style conversion, AI scene assistant, AI erase, AI notes, and more. Powering all this is the Snapdragon 7s Gen 2 chipset with up to 12GB RAM and 512GB storage. The phone is 8.6mm thick, and the weight is 202g.
One of the reasons for this weight is a massive 6,000mAh battery. There is 2.5D glass on the front and back.
On the front, the phone has a 6.78-inch 1.5K 8T LTPO OLED display with up to 144Hz refresh rate, 2160Hz PWM dimming, 93.55% screen-to-body ratio, and a 5000 nits peak brightness. Looking at the official renders, the phone seems to have symmetrical bezels.
Speaking of the cameras, there is a dual-camera setup on the rear. The primary camera has a 108MP Samsung HM6 sensor with an f/1.67 lens, and the secondary camera uses a 2MP depth sensor. For selfies, there is an 8MP sensor.
The phone has a stereo speaker setup and an under-display fingerprint sensor.

- 12GB + 256GB – ¥1799 (~$256)
