Meizu teases the Lucky 08, a new $280 “flagship AI phone”


For a company that supposedly “moved on” from the smartphone business, Meizu sure is launching a lot of smartphones these days. Earlier today we told you about the new Note 21 series, which is even going international, and the company has also teased another new device, seemingly part of a new series.

The Meizu Lucky 08 smartphone is advertised to arrive on September 25 as a “flagship AI phone” by the company. It will cost CNY 2,000, which right now translates into about $280 or €255 – so it can’t possibly be a true flagship at that price.

It does, however, look intriguing, as you can see in the teaser video above. It seems to have two cameras on the back, housed in a very distinctive round camera island.

Meizu has launched a CNY 1 reservation service. If you pay that measly amount, you reserve your place in the buying queue for the phone when it comes out, and you also get a chance to drive the Meizu x Lynk & Co Z10 E-sports Customized Edition EV, as well as exclusive subsidies for trade-in.

No other details about the Lucky 08 are known at the moment, but do keep in mind that 8 is the luckiest number in Chinese culture, so the name is pretty much hitting the spot.
