However, the only thing we know about this upcoming smartphone is its model number.

As per the IMEI database, the phone is listed with the model number M469Q.

The Gizmochina team revealed some interesting insights and speculations even with the small clue of just a model number.

The report highlights how the mystery mobile’s model number M469Q bears a striking resemblance to the Meizu 21 Note, which has the model number M468Q.

This similarity in model number suggests that the mysterious new smartphone could be an upgrade to the Meizu 21 Note.

While purely speculative, based on this assumption we can take a look at the 21 Note specifications to get an idea of what to expect from the new phone.

Just to refresh memory, the Meizu 21 Note features a 6.78-inch 8T LTPO OLED display, offering Full HD+ resolution.

The screen’s refresh rate ranges from 1 to 144 Hz, and it can reach a maximum brightness of 5000 nits.
