Meizu, which currently seems to be in troubled waters, has two smartphones in its pipeline that have now been certified in China. As per the report, Meizu’s two new 4G smartphones carrying model number M928Q and M973Q have passed through China’s radio certification.
Currently, nothing is known about these two smartphones that have been certified but given that the devices have been certified, we expect them to get launched soon. We should be getting more information about these two phones in the coming days or weeks.
The company had recently announced that it will be launching its first 5G smartphone in the first half of 2020. Meizu revealed that it became a member of the three leading telecom operators in China — China Mobile, China Telecom, and China Unicom.
Meizu founder and CEO Huang Zhang said in the company’s forum that the 5G device from the company will be launched next year when the market is mature enough to accept and adopt the 5G technology. He thinks that it’s not a wise move to be an early adopter of the 5G technology, especially at a time when 4G consumption is shooting up.
However, the company is going through a rough patch of time and has laid off more than 30 percent of its workforce this year so far and is now left with just around a thousand employees. Meizu has also confirmed that its well-known systems engineer Hong Hansheng has also left the Chinese company. Also, Li Nan, co-founder and Vice President of Meizu, resigned from the company earlier this month. The company is also shutting down most of its offline stores in China.
