Meizu announced a number of smartphones lately, like the Meizu MX5, Meizu M2 Note and Meizu M2. However, not one of them came with the new Flyme 5.0 OS which made us wonder, when was the company going to release it in the market. However, Meizu’s Chief architect of Flyme divison, Yang Yan just revealed a lot many details about the upcoming Flyme 5.0 UI, along with a bunch of screenshots.

First of all, the Flyme 5.0 will soon enter beta stage which means the final version launch is very near. Yang states that we can expect the new Flyme version to roll out around the end of September or early October. Along with this, he also adds that Meizu MX5 will be the first smartphone to receive the update. Not surprising, given that the MX5 is the latest flagship from the company. After that, the Flyme 5.0 update will slowly roll out to other recent smartphones. Unfortunately, he didn’t mention the specific models which are going to get the update for sure.

You can check out the screenshots from down below. The overall design looks a little more refined, but it does feel like the continuation from Flyme 4.5. We have heard a lot many complaints from readers about bugs on the Flyme OS, and hopefully all of them are solved in the new Flyme 5.0.

Have a look at the screenshots below and let us know what you feel.

While Android Lollipop update have already started rolling out to a number of flagship smartphones this year, Meizu is yet to update its devices like the MX4 Pro and the Meizu MX4 to the new Android version. The company has been developing its Flyme version based on Android lollipop since November last year, but up till now, there were no signs of an official roll out by the company.

Now, Yang Yan, the chief designer of Meizu’s Flyme OS has said that the company will try hard to release the new Flyme version based on Android 5.0 Lollipop by the end of March. However, the exact date of release will depend upon the progress of development. This is definitely good news for the MX4 users who have been patiently waiting for the phones to be updated to the new Android version. The latest OS brings a ton of improvements, including better battery life on Android devices, so its not surprising that everyone wants the update as soon as possible.

We will let you know when the company starts rolling out the new Flyme version with Android lollipop on MX4 and MX4 Pro smartphones.
