Meizu has officially launched its new mid-range smartphones: the Meizu Note 16 and Meizu Note 16 Pro, after months of anticipation. Both models aim to deliver a balanced combination of performance, battery life, and features at competitive prices.

Meizu Note 16

The standard Note 16 is powered by the Unisoc T8200 octa-core processor, paired with 8 GB of RAM and up to 256 GB of internal storage. One of its standout features is the 6,600 mAh battery with 40 W fast charging support. It features a 6.78-inch Full HD+ LCD display with a 120 Hz refresh rate, and an 8 MP front camera housed in a top-centered punch-hole.

Despite appearing to have four rear cameras, the Note 16 only includes two: a 50 MP main sensor and a 2 MP depth sensor, along with a ring-shaped LED flash. The fingerprint scanner is located on the side rather than under the display. Other specs include Wi-Fi 6, Bluetooth 5.0, IP65 water and dust resistance, and it runs Android 15 with Flyme AIOS 2.

Meizu Note 16 Pro

The Pro variant brings notable upgrades. It runs on the Snapdragon 7s Gen 3 chipset, offering configurations with up to 16 GB of RAM (plus 12 GB virtual RAM) and up to 512 GB of storage. The display is a 6.78-inch AMOLED panel with 1.5K resolution and a 144 Hz variable refresh rate. Like the standard model, it has an 8 MP front camera, but with a slightly wider aperture (f/2.05) and an under-display fingerprint sensor.

Meizu emphasizes the Pro’s durability, highlighting its TÜV SÜD “Triple Quality” certification, which includes resistance to 1.8-meter drops and submersion in water up to 2 meters for 36 hours. The phone also features IP68 certification and a reinforced design with “collision-resistant structure” and a “safety airbag”.

Its rear camera setup includes a 50 MP main sensor (f/1.8) and an 8 MP ultra-wide lens (f/2.2), with 4K video recording at 30 fps. It retains the ring LED flash, now within a circular module. The battery is slightly smaller at 6,200 mAh, but supports 80 W fast charging and features a liquid cooling system. Connectivity includes Wi-Fi 6, Bluetooth 5.4, and NFC. It also runs Android 15 with Flyme AIOS 2.

Google Keep, the popular note-taking application known for its simplicity and quick usability, has finally introduced a much-anticipated feature: text formatting tools in its web version. This update addresses a longstanding limitation that had been a point of frustration for users, especially when compared to rival apps like Microsoft OneNote and Evernote, which have offered rich formatting features for years. The addition brings greater flexibility to the platform, allowing users to better organize and stylize their notes for improved readability and structure.

The new formatting tools are accessible while editing a note on the web version of Keep. A button marked with a stylized, underlined “A” now appears in the lower part of each note. Clicking this button reveals a set of formatting options, including pre-set text styles such as Title, Subtitle, and Body text. Users can also apply traditional formatting styles like bold, italic, and underline. For those who want to revert their content to plain text, a “clear formatting” option is also available, allowing for a seamless switch back to a clean, unformatted layout.

According to Google, the update is being rolled out gradually to all users. This includes those with Google Workspace accounts, Workspace Individual plans, and personal Google accounts. While some users may already see the changes, the full rollout is expected to be completed in the coming weeks. This phased deployment approach helps ensure that any unexpected issues can be addressed without disrupting the experience for all users at once.

In addition to the formatting update, Google has also introduced a visual refresh to the Google Keep icon. The new design incorporates a modern gradient that aligns with the “Material You” design principles, specifically the new Material Expressive theme being adopted across Android 16. This not only enhances the app’s appearance but also creates a more cohesive look across Google’s ecosystem.

These changes mark a meaningful upgrade for Google Keep, a tool that has often been praised for its minimalism but criticized for its lack of advanced features. By introducing formatting tools and updating the app’s visual identity, Google is signaling its commitment to making Keep not just a simple notepad, but a more powerful and user-friendly platform for everyday productivity and organization.

Apple’s first foldable iPhone is expected to feature significant innovations in display technology, form factor, and integration of artificial intelligence. Rumors suggest that the device will adopt a Galaxy Z Fold-like design, with a flexible OLED panel supplied exclusively by Samsung.

The display is said to integrate touch sensors directly into the OLED layer using in-cell technology, eliminating intermediary layers. This will enhance touch responsiveness, reduce screen thickness, and eliminate the lamination gap—one of the main challenges with foldable displays.

According to the Korean blog Naver and sources like yeux1122, the internal display will measure 7.76 to 8.3 inches with a resolution around 2713×1920 pixels, while the external screen will be approximately 5.5 inches.

The aspect ratio of the internal screen will be 4:3, making it resemble an iPad when unfolded and ensuring a consistent experience across Apple’s ecosystem, including iPadOS-like optimization. The foldable screen is also expected to have minimal or no visible crease and improved brightness and color reproduction.

Foldable iPhone (Concept)

Samsung’s recent advancements in reducing screen creases were reportedly crucial in Apple’s choice of supplier. Apple’s partnership with Samsung also aims to develop a thinner foldable panel—approximately 19% slimmer than those found in current Galaxy Z Fold models.

The device is expected to include a hidden under-display camera on the internal screen and a punch-hole camera on the external one. Unlike recent iPhones, the foldable model will forgo Face ID due to space limitations and instead reintroduce Touch ID via a side-mounted power button.

Foldable iPhone (Concept)

The foldable iPhone will feature a dual-camera system on the back and possibly an aluminum or titanium chassis with a stainless steel-titanium hinge. It will also be AI-oriented, indicating potential integration with Apple’s machine learning features.

Analyst Ross Young confirmed the device will adopt a “book-style” Fold design rather than a Flip, aligning it closer to the Galaxy Z Fold line. Display sizes are expected to be 5.49″ externally and 7.74″ internally, making it slightly more compact than competitors like the Pixel Fold and Galaxy Z Fold 6.

Industry analysts predict that the launch will occur in late 2026 or early 2027, with mass production beginning in Q4 2026. Estimates suggest initial shipment volumes could exceed 15 million units annually. With a price expected between $2,000 and $2,500, the device will target early adopters and Apple enthusiasts.

In summary, Apple’s foldable iPhone aims to set a new standard with cutting-edge display technology, refined hardware design, AI integration, and a premium user experience—potentially positioning it as a direct competitor to the Galaxy Z Fold/Z Flip series, the Motorola’s 2025 Razr Flip Phone Lineup, Honor Magic V3 by late 2026.
