System

The Meizu 17 Pro comes with Android OS v10.0 out of the box, but it is upgradable to the next OS. Android is an open-source operating system, which means that the source code is freely available to the public and can be modified and distributed by anyone.

This makes it ideal for running resource-intensive applications such as video editing, 3D rendering, and gaming.

Adreno GPUs are widely used in smartphones, tablets, and other mobile devices. These GPUs are known for their strong performance, power efficiency, and advanced graphics capabilities.

Display

This smartphone comes with an IPS display. IPS is known for its ability to provide wide viewing angles and accurate color reproduction. IPS panels have become more energy-efficient over time, allowing for longer battery life in portable devices. The 6.4 inch display should be large enough to provide a comfortable viewing experience for your needs, whether it's reading text, browsing the web, or watching videos.

The display size represents the diagonal distance from one corner of the screen to the opposite corner. Text will be easier to read, and videos will be more immersive on a larger display. This smartphone is multitouch capable. Multitouch is a feature in smartphones that allows for the detection and tracking of multiple touch points on the screen simultaneously. It enables users to interact with the device using more than one finger or touch input at the same time.

Memory

The 8 GB of RAM on the Meizu 17 Pro should be more than enough to handle their daily needs without any major issues. Having more RAM alone does not necessarily guarantee better performance, and other factors such as the processor and storage speed can also impact overall performance. 128 GB of internal storage should be more than enough for their needs. The 17 Pro has 128 GB of internal storage. The memory and the internal storage of the Meizu 17 Pro (8 GB) cannot be expanded.

Camera

This smartphone has only one camera on its back. If you have budget limitations or prioritize other features over a multi-camera system, this single camera setup can be a suitable choice. The autofocus is an important feature in this smartphone. Autofocus helps the camera to focus on a subject automatically, which ensures that the resulting photo or video is clear and sharp. The 17 Pro offers optical image stabilization (OIS) for their rear camera systems. OIS helps reduce camera shake and blur by physically stabilizing the camera lens or sensor, resulting in sharper and clearer images and videos.
