Meizu was recently embroiled in a controversy regarding its new flagship Meizu 16S. The phone was recently subjected to a teardown by XYZone, a popular Weibo user from China, and a quirk has been found in it.
After taking a look at the internals, the user found that your Meizu 16S unit had no adhesive around the processor Snapdragon 855 soldier on plate. Considering how most of the flagships on the market come with this adhesive for the processor, he said that this was probably a savings measure from the company.
Meizu initially denied the claim. However, when the problem grew, he decided to send a team of engineers to Shenzhen to investigate the XYZone unit. The team confirmed that their unit did not have the adhesive, but added that it was a unique case. After discovering that their unit had a problem, Meizu decided to make up for it with two new units of the same model.

This event does not have to be taken as a bad thing. Decho, after the manufacturer's reply, It is clear that Meizu is taking consumer feedback seriously. The video is a good way to instill confidence among your fans, both in China and around the world.
Whether this was truly an isolated incident remains to be seen. If not, we should see many more cases in the coming days. Meanwhile, the same user reported that his Xiaomi Mi 9 it didn't have this sticker either. Xiaomi is yet to comment on this matter.
