The verdict, up front

Meizu's last true flagship statement.

18 Pro added the GN1 50 MP sensor, laser AF, 40 W wireless and a full-screen mSound speaker to the 18 formula. With clean Flyme and 2K display it was a genuine enthusiast flagship — but distribution and a short update window limited reach.
