hey guys this is Bailey Stein with Android Authority and in this video we'll be taking a quick first look at the mazing 16s so I just got back from China where me too announced the 16s as their flagship successor to the meizu 16th kicking off with design it's quite obvious that the 16s is mostly just a refinement of the 16th there are a few changes however for example there's some new colors like this stealthy carbon black model the cameras have been moved to the top left and the SIM tray is now on the bottom of the device there's also no more headphone jack which while typical nowadays might disappoint some users to be fair though mazes reasoning for needing more internal space does seem pretty sound the battery on this thing is 3600 milliamp hours compared to 3,000 10 milliamp hours on the maze of sixteenth which is a pretty significant upgrade which will arguably have a more positive impact and that's before you consider the maze of 16s is compact profile just seven point six millimeters and 165 grams the in display fingerprint reader is also now apparently twice as quick although it is still obstacle the maze of 16s also supports face on lock which seems to be a better quicker option but the biggest upgrade here is undoubtedly the camera configuration the 16s sports and f1 point seven forty eight megapixel primary camera with OAS as well as a secondary 20 megapixel camera which enables up to three times lossless zoom similar to Google's nitesite meizu now has a new super night mode basically it takes up to 17 frames for a single image combines them while performing some software tricks then outputs a well hopefully much better low-light photo on the front we have a very very tiny 20 megapixel camera that supports HDR as well as an arc soft powered AI beauty mode we'll need some time to test out these cameras but they certainly look promising and on to that full screen display it's just wow as you can see it's symmetrical and curved without needing a notch or a pop-up mechanism the bezel is also really minimal the 6.2 inch AMOLED panel here was actually custom made by Samsung and it's expectedly really nice with a wide brightness range in rich I must say I'm coming from the pixel 3xl and I kind of forgot how immersive content can be when it's uninterrupted and well presented like it is here as for performance the 16s is packin a Snapdragon 855 as well as six or eight gigabytes of RAM but what I think is much more interesting than those raw specs is mazes one mind 3.0 which is basically just a series of software optimizations meizu claims this gives the 16s a slight edge over competitors while also helping out a bit with battery life we'll need to test the stuff out more but yeah out of the box this is a really snappy phone in China the meizu 16s starts at 3,200 RMB or about $476 as for the global market pricing and availability have yet to be announced all right I hope you enjoyed this video I actually traveled about 23 hours each way so that we could cover this device so be sure to subscribe check out our website and remember we are your source for all things Android
