Last year, Meizu was acquired by Geely, China’s largest private automaker and Volvo’s parent company. Following the acquisition, there were rumors that Meizu was planning to develop software that could enable effortless connectivity between smartphones and cars. Turns out the rumors were true after all as the company today unveiled the Flyme Auto in-vehicle software, which indeed boasts several features for seamless connectivity. Here are the details.
Flyme Auto is claimed to feature many desktop and seamless connection features. For one, it supports the transfer of mobile apps to the car and can be automatically connected once you pair your phone with your vehicle. It supports seamless relay, mobile phone-assisted updates, mobile phone-car hardware interoperability, and shared hardware capabilities. It comes with a search feature, which allows you to locate your car in a parking lot or on the street through your phone.
Further, Flyme Auto includes many car-specific apps that may be helpful for users. Additionally, it supports Alipay payment and features an upgraded virtual assistant called “Aicy.” This assistant can perform a variety of tasks through voice commands and supports offline voice recognition, and wake-up-free activation for frequently-used functions. Notably, the assistant can remember previous conversations and use that information to understand the current conversation better.
Flyme Auto has an intuitive interface and a design inspired by nature. According to Meizu, cars that use Flyme Auto will have access to a wider range of software and bring sustainable improvements to multi-terminal, full-scenario, and immersive experiences.
Meizu unveiled the new Flyme Auto software alongside its latest flagship series, the Meizu 20. This new lineup not only marks Meizu’s return to the smartphone market but also boasts cutting-edge specifications. If you’re interested, you can find more details about the Meizu 20 here.
