Flyme, the custom user interface for the Android operating system from Chinese smartphone maker Meizu, is getting a new update. The company has today officially confirmed that the Flyme 8 will be unveiled on 13th August in China.
The launch of Flyme OS 8 comes a bit earlier than expected. Last month, it was reported that Meizu’s Flyme 8 will be launched in the fourth quarter of this year, which means somewhere from October to December.
As per the previous reports, the company had started internal testing of the upcoming Meizu Flyme 8 user interface in the second quarter of this year and the testing phase will be concluded in the third quarter. Now, it seems that testing has been completed successfully and thus, the company is all set to launch it on 13th August.
Earlier this year, Meizu’s product manager Chen Jiaxuan had shared the poster of the upcoming Flyme 8 user interface, which revealed that along with a wide number of features, the company is focusing on making then UI fast and stable.
Some of the core features of the Flyme 8 have already been introduced in the Flyme 7.3. Along with a few new features, what remains to be seen is how fast and smooth the upcoming Flyme 8 will be. To know that, we’ll have to wait until the company releases the update officially.
The current version of Meizu’s custom user interface for Android is Flyme 7.3, which integrates the Meizu Pay app with the Flyme system for touchless payments experience using the bank, bus and other access cards. It also comes with DC Dimming feature as well as the internal apps like Shutdown Wake 3.0, Smart Free 3.0, Resource Manager 2.0, Memory compression 2.0, etc have been optimized for better performance.
