Meizu uses 128 or 256GB of UFS 3.1 storage capacities for both phones. The Meizu 17 comes with 8GB of LPDDR4X, while the the 17 Pro offers either 8GB or 12GB of LPDDR5.

The 17 Pro model comes with a 6.6” AMOLED display made by Samsung. The top and bottom bezels of the device are less than 3mm. The resolution is at 2340 x 1080p, so a 19.5:9 aspect ratio, and the screen support 90Hz refresh rate alongside 180Hz touch sampling.

The front camera module is a 20MP unit with f/2.0 optics and is a display hole cut-out design. The cut-out radius is only 2.99mm.

Both variants feature the same 4500mAh battery capacity. The Meizu 17 model does not support wireless charging, but the Pro version supports 27W fast wireless charging. Both devices also support 30W wired charging.

Both phones share the same main camera sensor with is a 64MP IMX686. The sensor features 0.8µm pixel pitches and is rather big at 1/1.72” diagonal. With 2x2 pixel binning it results in 16MP photos with an effective light gathering pixel-pitch of 1.6µm. The optics are a 26mm equivalent focal length with an f/1.8 aperture.

The Meizu 17 has also a 12MP secondary IMX362 telephoto module with f/1.9 optics. There’s also a smaller Samsung S5K4H7 8MP ultra-wide angle module with a 118° field-of-view / 16mm equivalent focal length with f/2.2 optics, as well as a 5MP macro camera module.

The ultra-wide-angle unit has an auto-focus mechanism that allows it to focus as closely as 3cm and act both as a ultra-wide as well as a macro unit.
