Meizu founder confirms presence of 48MP in its new flagship smartphone

Chinese smartphone company Meizu is expected to launch a new flagship smartphone soon. The smartphone, dubbed as the Meizu 16s, is said to be a variant of the Meizu 16 that was launched last year. However, Meizu founder and former CEO Huang Zhang announced an important specification that might make the smartphone more relevant before the next wave of affordable flagships hits us.

Huang, who also goes by the name Jack Wong, confirmed the presence of a 48MP Sony IMX586 sensor in the smartphone on the Chinese social media platform Weibo. He also added that the camera will have optical image stabilisation (OIS).

Previous rumours suggested the 16s will come with dual cameras in 20MP+12MP configuration.
