Meizu continues its restructuring efforts in a bid to achieve greater market presence. The company had earlier rejigged its entire operation, with the creation of the Meizu division as well as the Blue Charm division and the Flyme division. The Meizu division oversees the flagship smartphones while the Blue Charm division handles mid-range and budget models and the Flyme division handles the software aspect. Meizu’s CEO, Huang Zhang was identified as heading the Meizu division while the Blue Charm division is said to be headed by Li Nan, longtime Meizu VP.

It is now rumoured that Meizu’s CEO/ Founder Huang Zhang will personally oversee the Blue Charm division in a new adjustment. The report alleges that the CEO will be involved in the product planning and building in the division. This leaves us confused as to what happens to Li Nan who was earlier unveiled as the President of the Blue Charm division. But Li Nan is reported to have confirmed that Huang Zhang has taken over the Blue Charm division to enable the brand launch a major offensive next year from the division.

It may just be a scenario of the CEO trying to ensure the smartphones launched under both the flagship Meizu division and Blue Charm division come out with thrilling designs. We’ll be on the lookout to see how this pans out.

As the Alibaba went on sale, the Yun OS version of the Meizu MX4 also made its debut. Despite both companies’ partnership, their relationship does not look as good as it seems.

Last night, Meizu’s founder, Huang Zhang, posted the following message in his Weibo account: “The Yun OS is fine, but Meizu’s phones must use the Flyme OS. Without it, Meizu cannot become an entry-level mobile phone and internet company. A useful cellphone needs a useful operating system.” He later deleted the part about the Yun OS.
