Yesterday, Meizu teased the arrival of Android 11 for its smartphones. Today, the company has officially confirmed the date on which it will start recruiting closed beta testers. Unsurprisingly, the brand’s flagship smartphones – Meizu 17 and Meizu 17 Pro will be the first in line to receive the update.

Meizu 17 Pro Android 11 Closed Beta Recruitment and Stable Release

According to a post by the official Flyme Weibo account, Meizu will open registrations for the Meizu 17 series Android 11 Closed Beta program on December 23. Although the company did not mention when the beta builds will start arriving, it did reveal that the stable release will happen in Spring 2021.

In other words, owners of Meizu 17 and Meizu 17 Pro will have to wait until either the end of Q1 2021 or early Q2 2021 to experience Android 11 on their smartphones. Though the wait seems too long, it is much better than the Android 10 rollout, which only began in late May 2020.

That said, the brand is yet to disclose the list of eligible devices for Android 11. Hence, we are not sure which Meizu phones will be getting the update. Given the firm’s market share, we think only certain handsets such as Meizu 16S, Meizu 16S Pro, and Meizu 16T will make it to the list.

Meizu was once known for its Flyme Android skin. But with diminishing market share, it is sad to see the firm’s software support to degrade over the years.

Meizu is one of the oldest Chinese smartphone makers. But unlike its competitors, it does not have a much presence outside its home country.  For those unaware, the brand’s handsets run Flyme, a heavy Android skin. This skin is known for first to adopt certain features, which are common today. But the company is infamous for updating the underlying Android version very late but thankfully that may change soon.

Meizu Flyme 8 Android 11 Teaser

Earlier today, the official Weibo account of Flyme posted a certain teaser. According to the post, the company may reveal something about Android 11 for its smartphones tomorrow (December 22) at 11:11 AM local time.

We think the brand could announce the Android 11 Beta program for its flagship smartphones – Meizu 17 and Meizu 17 Pro. Maybe, the initiative could include other models as well. Because the beta program for the previous major update kicked off simultaneously for multiple devices.

Anyway, it is good to see that Meizu is improving its update delivery. Because the firm started rolling out Android 10 (Flyme 8.1) to its handsets only in late May. That’s eight months after Google officially released the Android 10 in September 2019.

Apart from the new Flyme version, we also expect Meizu to debut its first-ever proper smartwatch called ‘MEIZU Watch’ by the end of this month, which is reported to be under mass-production.
