Meizu Note 22 4G, mblu 22 and mblu 22 Pro launch globally, marking the brand's return
Meizu has returned – the company unveiled three new phones at the MWC and is now launching them globally with the Fly with me event.
The company has a presence in over 30 countries in Latin America, Europe, Central Asia, the Middle East and the Asia Pacific. The three models from the MWC are joined by two new models, plus AR smart glasses (called StarV View) and a health-centric smart ring (StarV Ring2).
The Meizu Note 22 4G will range from $180 to $300. It is powered by the Helio G99 and features a 6.78' 1080p+ 120Hz OLED display. It is equipped with a 108MP main camera, 8MP ultra-wide and a 32MP selfie. It runs on a 5,000mAh battery with 40W charging. The Note is rated IP54 for splash resistance.

The large price range of the Note 22 4G is due to how many storage options there are – the base model starts at 128GB and the top model has 1TB. All versions have 8GB of RAM.
The two mblu models aim for affordability. The Meizu mblu 22 Pro will sell in the $100-$130 range. It's based on a Helio G81 (12nm) and has a 6.79' 120Hz IPS LCD with 720p+ resolution. There's a 50MP camera on the back and an 8MP camera on the front. This model has stereo speakers, a 3.5mm headphone jack and a microSD slot.

The base model has 4GB of RAM and 128GB storage. There are also a 6/256GB and an 8/256GB models. The battery has 5,000mAh capacity and charges at 18W. The phone is splash resistant without an IP rating.
The Meizu mblu 22 is a sub-$100 Android Go edition phone (it will go for $80-$90). It's based on a 28nm Unisoc chip with 3/4GB of RAM and expandable storage. The 6.79' IPS LCD is similar to the Pro, except it runs at 90Hz. The cameras have lower resolution sensors (13MP rear, 5MP front) and the 5,000mAh battery drops to just 10W charging.

Note that there is now a 5G Meizu Note 22, though the hardware is quite different from the 4G version. There's a Note 22 Pro too, but even that doesn't have a 108MP camera like the Note 22 4G.
The new phones (and smart wearables) will be available in Russia, Spain, Malaysia and Vietnam first and then expand to other regions (30+ in total).
'Our All in AI strategy bridges hardware, software, and services to create a seamless smart life. We will continue to develop new products to bring consumers more cost-effective and personalised electronic products according to the habits of consumers in different countries and regions,' said Cheng Li, Meizu's CMO for Global Business.

Samsung Galaxy S25 Edge has a major problem: it does not sell
Samsung is facing serious issues with the Galaxy S25 Edge, its latest and thinnest flagship to date. Despite hyping up the phone and defending it against criticism from media and fans alike, the Galaxy S25 Edge doesn't sell well at all. In fact, Samsung has been forced to considerably lower the number of Galaxy S25 Edge units it produces each month, a new report claims. What's worse is that the Galaxy S25 Edge was released as a test to see if there's an audience for very slim flagships. The South Korean company plans to replace the Galaxy S26 Plus with an Edge model, but after the Galaxy S25 Edge 's fiasco, it's unclear what will happen with the last member of the Galaxy S26 has been trying for years to convince people to buy the Galaxy S Plus model, but this specific model performed poorly in comparison to the other versions of the Galaxy S flagship. Typically, new phones sell well in the first three months, but Galaxy S25 Edge sales were even lower than Samsung's lowest expectations, which is the South Korean giant decided to cut its losses and stop producing so many units. Samsung will favor the US market when it comes to the number of Galaxy Z Fold 7 units | Image credit: AndroidHeadlines In related news, sources familiar with Samsung's plans claim the company is now looking to increase production of foldable phones specifically aimed at the US market. The main reason is the threat of US tariffs, which are expected to take effect around the time Samsung will launch its foldable flagships on the report also mentions that Samsung plans to manufacture around 600,000 Galaxy Z Fold 7 units in June alone, all aimed at the US market. This is a 200,000 increase from the initial plan. If this proves to be accurate, it means the global production of the Galaxy Z Fold 7 will be lower because Samsung has decided to focus on the US market. Stocks will continue to be increased throughout July when Samsung plans to ramp up production to meet expectations. Secure your connection now at a bargain price!

Samsung faces a deadline to choose which processor will power the Galaxy S26 and Galaxy S26+
There is a lot of pressure on Samsung to design a more than merely capable Exynos 2600 application processor (AP). After all, the company is looking to deploy a homegrown Exynos SoC inside next year's Galaxy S26 and Galaxy S26 + flagship models in the vast majority of markets. Due to yield issues at Samsung Foundry, during the last two years Samsung had to dig deep into its pockets and pay more to equip all of its flagship series phones with the latest Snapdragon chipsets instead of using its own Exynos APs. Samsung had to pay $400 million to use the Snapdragon 8 Elite AP across the entire Galaxy S25 lineup. | Image credit-Qualcomm The reason that yield is so important is that the figure is a percentage showing how many usable dies have been created against the maximum number that can be diced from a silicon wafer. Samsung Foundry was rumored to have a 30% yield for production using the same process node earmarked for the Exynos 2500. A low yield increases the number of defective dies and decreases the number of usable ones. As a result, not only does the price for working chips rise, at a yield of 30% it was possible that Samsung would not be able to build enough chips to cover the amount it needed. Samsung reportedly started manufacturing a prototype of the Exynos 2600 AP and the results of the chipset's first Geekbench run through was impressive with a single-core score of 2400 and a multi-core tally of 10200. The impressive part was that the multi-core score topped that of the A18 Pro. We should point out that the latter chipset, used to power the iPhone 16 Pro and iPhone 16 Pro Max, is built by TSMC using its second-generation 3nm node; the Exynos 2600 is produced using Samsung Foundry's 2nm node which uses Gate-All-Around (GAA) transistors that reduce current leaks and improve the drive current producing improved performance and energy efficiency. Also, to make this a fair comparison, the Exynos 2600 AP's benchmark scores should be compared with those of the yet to be released A19 Pro. That chipset will be built by TSMC using its third-generation 3nm process node and will debut later this year on the iPhone 17 Pro and iPhone 17 Pro Max. Another point to consider is that tweet from tipster @OreXda doesn't mention the efficiency of the Exynos 2600. As a result, it is a possibility that in order to achieve the high mjlti-core benchmark results, the chipset had to use an unrealistic amount of power, certainly more than the component will be fed if used to drive the Galaxy S26 line when the phones are released during Q1 next year. An interesting change in the configuration of the Exynos 2600 AP was mentioned by @OreXda. Originally designed with 10 cores (giving it the "decacore" designation), the tipster says that the Exynos 2600 will feature two Cortex Prime "X" CPU cores along with six Cortex-A cores. That would make the Exynos 2600 an octa-core AP. If Samsung Foundry doesn't improve its yield, Samsung would have to consider using the Snapdragon 8 Elite 2 for Galaxy to power all of the models in the flagship series with Qualcomm's flagship processor. The phones won't be released until next January or February but because of lead times, Samsung will have to decide by the end of this year whether yields are sufficient (60%-70% and higher is required) to allow Samsung Foundry to manufacture enough Exynos 2600 SoCs to power the Galaxy S26 and Galaxy S26 + units in all markets other than the U.S., China, and Canada. In those countries, the Galaxy S26 and Galaxy S26 + will be powered by the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Elite 2 for Galaxy AP. The top-of-the-line Galaxy S26 Ultra will sport the Qualcomm SoC in all markets. Secure your connection now at a bargain price!
