There are instructions on the 16s box states that only the original charger can be used. We guess that its charging protocol support is as limited as the 16th.

II. Test
1. Compatibility TestThe main reason for our compatibility test is to figure out the fast charging protocols the Meizu 16s supports, and its compatibility with the other charging devices.
Chargers:

Meizu 16s Charging Test: 22W Max PE Quick Charge-Chargerlab

Use the PD-only Apple 30W PD charger (A1882) to charge the Meizu 16s, we are getting 5.14V 1.85A 9.55W, under normal charging speed. The Meizu 16s does not support PD fast charging.

Use the Xiaomi 18W charger which only supports QC fast charging to charge the Meizu 16s, we are getting 5.1V 1.29A 6.61W, under normal charging speed. The Meizu 16s does not support QC fast charging.

Use the UP1220 charger which comes with the Meizu MX6 and supports PE fast charging to charge the Meizu 16s, we are getting 9.16V 1.28A 11.75W, under PE fast charging with relatively low power.

Use the UP1220S charger which comes with the Meizu 16th Plus and supports PE fast charging to charge the Meizu 16s, we are getting 8.36V 2.53A 21.17W, under PE fast charging.

Use the UP0830 charger which comes with the Meizu PRO6 and supports PE/QC fast charging to charge the Meizu 16s, we are getting 8.47V 2.55A 21.68W, under PE fast charging.


Power banks:

Use the HAME M10 power bank to charge the Meizu 16s, we are getting 7.71V 2.78A 21.52W, under PE fast charging.
Car charger:

As can be seen from the chart, devices with the PE fast charging protocol can offer the Meizu 16s with fast charging, which is the only fast charging protocol it supports.
0%~100% Charging TestWe tested the consumption time of charging the Meizu 16s from battery level 0% to 100%, using the included UP0830S charger. With the ChargerLAB Power-Z KM001C, we monitor and record the power data, and sort it into the following table:

Meizu 16s Charging Test: 22W Max PE Quick Charge-Chargerlab

The above picture shows the Meizu 16s charging power curve. It can be seen from the figure that the power will rise straight to 21.99W and maintain a 20W phase for 22 minutes. After that, the power platform dropped to about 11W, and finally the power entered a gradual decline during the last 57 minutes of charging. The total charging time was 1 hour and 56 minutes. This max charging power is 21.99W.

Meizu 16s Charging Test: 22W Max PE Quick Charge-Chargerlab

Taking a look at the changes in the charging power of Meizu's 16s. Charging 49% takes half an hour, 81% takes 1 hour, and 1 hour and 56 minutes from 0% to 100%.


III ChargerLAB conclusion

The Meizu 16s comes with a UP0830S USB-A charger which has a maximum power of 24W. The charger does not support any other fast charging protocols other than the PE fast charging protocol. It does not support QC and PD.

The Meizu 16s, like its previous generation 16th Plus, only supports PE fast charging, which means no PD fast charging or QC fast charging for the phone.

Fortunately, the performance of the PE fast charge protocol is still relatively strong. The peak power of the whole process can reach up to 21.99W, and the charge can be charged to 49% in half an hour. The full process takes 1 hour and 56 minutes which is acceptable.

Lastly, a reminder for buying charging accessories for the Meizu 16s: make sure it supports PE fast charging protocol to enable fast charging for your Meizu 16s.
