What we don't like about Meizu Note 22 5G (12GB + 256GB)

  • Some users have experienced issues with network compatibility, such as an inability to receive text messages on certain European networks.
  • One user mentioned the phone felt heavy, which could be a concern for some.
  • The 50MP high-resolution camera mode may only be optimal in well-lit conditions.

  • The phone does not support wireless charging.

Verdict

The Meizu Note 22 5G (12GB + 256GB variant) is a powerful, budget-conscious smartphone featuring a 6.78-inch Full HD+ IPS LCD display with a smooth 120Hz refresh rate. It is powered by the Unisoc T8200 chipset and a large 6,600mAh battery with 40W fast charging support. A main characteristic is its impressive 108MP rear camera system, paired with a 32MP front camera, offering great photo potential for the price. Pros include its massive battery capacity, high-refresh-rate display, and ample RAM/storage configuration offering good value for money. A potential con is its use of a Unisoc processor instead of a more common Snapdragon or high-end MediaTek alternative, which some users might perceive as a downside in terms of brand recognition and raw performance compared to flagship chipsets.
