Meizu, the Chinese smartphone manufacturer, is on the lookout for a new Chinese name for its Flyme OS. The company announced on November 9 that it would seek public suggestions for a new name for its operating system.
After gathering potential names, Meizu has now launched a voting campaign to select the final choice.
Meizu to give Flyme OS a new Chinese name
The campaign consists of a total of 32 names and four rounds of voting. The first round of voting is now open, where users will vote among 32 names.
The 16 names with the highest number of votes will be promoted to the next round. This process will continue until there are four finalists.
The final round of voting will be held at a press conference, where users will vote for their preferred name from the list of four finalists. The name with the most votes will be the new Chinese name for Flyme OS.
The first round of voting is now open in the Meizu community. Each user can only vote once per round. The first round of voting will close today at 23:59:59 (GMT +8).
As of the publication of this article, 5316 people have participated in the voting. While we were unable to look for the vote count of each name, major Chinese media have reported that more than half of the users voted for the name “无界” or “Unbounded” (translated).
This name is considered to be logical as Meizu launched the slogan “New Generation, Unbounded Ecosystem” for Flyme OS 10. The name is also fitting for Meizu’s goal of creating a “borderless” ecosystem.
Reports from domestic media say that Meizu has also applied to register the trademarks of “Unbounded Car” and “Unbounded Mobile Phone”.
The company will announce the final name for Flyme OS at a press conference in the coming weeks. We will keep you updated on it.
