Meizu 20 and 20 Pro run Geekbench on Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 chipsets

A few weeks ago, Meizu officially confirmed that the Meizu 20 Pro will be powered by a Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 chipset and we’ve seen as many on the Geekbench 5 and AnTuTu dashboards. Now the Pro and the vanilla Meizu 20 have surfaced in the score database for the new Geekbench 6 test, both of which used the 8 Gen 2 chip (codenamed “Kalama”).

Both models effectively got the same single-core and multi-core tests and each came equipped with 12GB of RAM. Note that this time the phones have been identified with their real names rather than model numbers like “m2391”.

Geekbench 6 scores: Meizu 20 • Meizu 20 Pro

Either way, the Meizu 20 and 20 Pro will deliver identical performance, the Pro will stand out in other ways. Teasers have revealed that the Meizu 20 Pro will feature a 10-bit QHD+ 1-120Hz display, Samsung E6 LTPO panel, peaking at 1,800 nits of brightness. The main camera will feature a 50 MP sensor (1/1.56″, with OIS) and the 5,000 mAh battery will support 50W wireless charging.

There were only a few details about the vanilla Meizu 20, but it looks like it will be some sort of gaming phone with a 144Hz 10-bit display. There should be other differences too, but we’ll have to be patient.

The Meizu 20 Pro will support the CCC 3.0 dongle standard for cars, which is part of the tight integration between the smartphone maker and its EV-focused parent company. We don’t know if the vanilla model will offer the same features.

Meizu still hasn’t set a date for its return to the smartphone market, but it will likely happen before the end of the month given that it’s already taking blind pre-orders (it has over 300,000, although that doesn’t mean much since it only costs 1 yuan). These pre-orders end on March 14 – we may not see the full reveal tomorrow, but we should at least get a fresh batch of teasers.
