Meizu, which has recently been acquired by Geely’s Xingji Times, has announced plans to expand its product offerings to include a range of new devices.

In addition to its traditional offerings of mobile phones and cars, Meizu plans to release AR glasses, tablets, and watches in the future. The company will also reportedly have more cooperation with Lynk & Co in the future. The product matrix also includes plans for the Meizu Lipro smart home and Meizu PANDAER trendy life products.

Meizu CEO Huang Zhipan will reportedly serve as a strategic consultant for the brand’s products. Despite the acquisition by Xingji Times, Meizu has agreed to operate as an independent brand, and the top management will remain unchanged. In addition to these new products, the company is also reportedly working on the FlymeAuto car-machine system, which was announced in October of this year.

The system is described as the continuation of Meizu Flyme in the smart cockpit, and will reportedly feature two core architectures: Flyme Auto Core and Flyme Auto. The latter is based on the Flyme system and is described as a vehicle-mounted operating system that incorporates part of the capabilities of the Yikatong vehicle-mounted system.

Shen Ziyu, the new chairman of Meizu and vice chairman of Xingji Times, has previously revealed that the company is planning to release a new flagship smartphone in the coming year. He has also stated that Meizu will retain an independent team and continue to operate as an independent brand following the acquisition by Xingji Times. It will be interesting to see what new products and innovations Meizu has in store for the future as it expands its product offerings and continues to cooperate with Lynk & Co.

Sean — Tue, 25 May 2021 09:56:21 +0000

Earlier today (25th May 2021), Meizu officially announced that it is opening the online reservations for its smartwatch. This smartwatch features the Qualcomm Snapdragon Wear 4100 and will be released on 31st May 2021.

The brand made the announcement on its official Weibo account, a Chinese microblogging website. The Meizu smartwatch from the Chinese tech giant is currently available for online registration and sports the Snapdragon 4100 chipset along with eSIM support as well. This enables it to be capable of making calls and not rely on the paired smartphones, making it completely independent. The eSIM will also support 4G network as well.

The wearable from the company is currently listed for online registrations from the official website, along with JD.com, a popular Chinese e retailer website. For those unaware, the Meizu smartwatch will feature many of the features that are common with smartwatches including playing music, offering activity tracking, mobile payment services, and more. Notably, the device will also run on Flyme OS that is built for the company’s smartwatches. So stay tuned for more, as we will be covering the launch event at the end of this month.

Meizu, the China-based smartphone maker is gearing up to launch a smartwatch that was recently leaked. Now, the company has confirmed that the upcoming wearable device from the brand, named Meizu Smartwatch, will be made official in China on 31st May.

The poster of the upcoming Meizu Smartwatch reveals a square-shaped dial for the device, which is in line with the previous leaks. This gives it a look similar to the Apple Watch but details about the screen parameters haven’t been revealed.

From the leaks so far, it has been revealed that the Meizu Smartwatch will come running the Flyme operating system and will also allow users to download and install third-party applications on the device.

It will offer several different types of functions, including playing music, offering activity tracking, mobile payment services, and support for eSIM connectivity, allowing users to make and receive phone calls.

While not yet confirmed, we expect the device to come with support for current-generation features like blood oxygen level monitoring (SpO2), heartbeat tracking, and more. So far, the device’s specifications are not yet known but we expect the company to share more details in the coming days through teasers.

To know more about this upcoming Meizu Smartwatch, including the specifications, features, variants, pricing, and availability details, we will have to wait for the official launch in China in the coming days.

Meizu smartwatch patent reveals the wearable device’s design

Jeet — Wed, 27 Jan 2021 05:45:09 +0000

A few years ago, Meizu had launched its first hybrid smartwatch but after that, the company hasn’t released anything else in that category. But it seems like that is about to change pretty soon.

A patent application filed by Meizu for a smartwatch has surfaced online with publication number CN306296501S which was filed by the company a few months ago. The abstract shows that the device intends to display time, run programs, and enable users to use communication tools.

The purpose of the patent application is said to be the combination of the shapes and color of the device. While the patent doesn’t reveal much about the smartwatch’s specs and features, it does gives a look at its design.

Recently, a Meizu Smartwatch carrying model number M007W was spotted on Compulsory Certification of China a.k.a. 3C Certificate, which is expected to go official at the Meizu Watch and supports 7.5W charging.

We expect the smartwatch to come with an AMOLED display, heart rate tracking, SpO2 level measurement, and support for tracking various sports. The device is also said to have LTE connectivity support, confirming that it will either have a SIM card slot or support for eSIM. In the software department, it is expected to be running the “Flyme For Watch”, which is a special version of its Flyme OS.

As of now, there’s no information available about the launch of this Meizu Watch. However, we expect the wearable device to soon get launched, in the coming weeks or months

Meizu smartwatch launch confirmed for Q4 2020 with Flyme For Watch

Sudarshan Ravichandran — Wed, 24 Jun 2020 09:34:24 +0000

Meizu is one of the oldest Chinese smartphone makers with little presence in international markets. According to the latest teaser on Flyme’s (the company’s Android skin) official Weibo account, the brand’s first proper smartwatch will be finally launching in Q4 2020 with Flyme For Watch software on board.

Meizu is known for smartphones with standout designs. Since its inception, its hardware and software have been different from other companies. However, the company has not launched a proper smartwatch in its 12 years of existence in the smartphone industry.

But that’s going to change soon as the brand officially teases the launch of its first-ever proper smartwatch in Q4 2020. Additionally, it also confirms that it will be running Flyme For Watch.

Having said that, the base OS underneath the Flyme For Watch is a mystery. For instance, Xiaomi uses Android Wear platform for its MIUI For Watch. On the other hand, Oppo’s ColorOS Watch is based on AOSP.

Also, you might have noticed by now that we are calling the upcoming Meizu wearable as ‘proper smartwatch’. That’s because the brand already launched a hybrid smartwatch called ‘Meizu Smart Watch Mix’ aka ‘Meizu Light Smartwatch’ in 2016.

Although the launch of Meizu’s next wearable is months away, we can expect it to start leaking days or even weeks ahead of its official announcement.

Alleged Meizu Smartwatch appears in leaked Render image

Jed John Ikoba — Thu, 11 Aug 2016 04:04:45 +0000

Meizu had long been rumored to be planning for the release of its first smartwatch but that hasn’t happened, yet image renders of what is said to be Meizu’s smartwatch have continued to surface.

Most recently, render of the Meizu smartwatch again surfaced on Weibo showing the back view with the Meizu logo engraved on the back casing. Just like previous leaked images, this render shows the Meizu smartwatch looks no different from the normal mechanical wristwatch. The allege photo reveals the smartwatch would be made of metal and would have leather straps. We’ve had rumors of the smartwatch featuring metal straps, meaning there may likely be more than one variant, one with leather strap an the other with metal straps. There are also control buttons on the side and the entire design shows a compact, portable watch is likely in the works.

Meizu had teased the announcement of a smartwatch about two weeks back, so we already know there one coming but we are not entirely certain if this is the real Meizu smartwatch. It is worth mentioning though, that the watch featured on this leaked render looks different from the one spotted sometime last year at the Hong Kong Electronics Fair which never saw the light of day till date.

Metal Strap for Meizu’s Smartwatch Leaked On Weibo

Habeeb Onawole — Thu, 04 Aug 2016 10:31:13 +0000

Meizu’s August 10 Event is approaching and while there are various leaks with regards to the phone, something different has popped on Weibo by popular leaker @kJuma. The leak is of a chain strap that is said to be for the Meizu smartwatch which is expected to launch alongside the E-series phone.

The company’s first teaser of the smartwatch was a sketch of several watch faces and straps which included a chain strap. We believe the straps should be easily replaceable, so you can swap them out depending on the occasion.

We already saw the leather strap on the leaked images of the Meizu smartwatch last week which might be the default strap that comes with it, but we expect that there will be a rubber strap as well.

The metal strap which has the Meizu name on the clasp, will probably be a great choice for formal events; the leather for semi-official occasions, and rubber for sports and everyday use.

Alleged Meizu Smartwatch Images Leaked, could be released August 10

Jed John Ikoba — Fri, 29 Jul 2016 05:55:37 +0000

What could likely be photos of Meizu’s first smartwatch product has appeared in photos online, just moments after a box purportedly mean’t for the smartwatch was leaked from an anonymous source. The box, which is likely the retail pack for the smartwatch contained Meizu’s logo stamped on the box.

The leaked photos alleged to be those of Meizu’s smartwatch reveals what looks like a wonderful design from Meizu. The design adopts a circular pattern, just like the shape of most of the normal wristwatches around but this time around with additional features.

The features the Meizu smartwatch would pack is still unknown but the photos gave us an insight that the smartwatch would likely pop with customised wallpapers, leather straps and there are three controls buttons which would likely be for the features.

Earlier, rumours had it that the Meizu wearable device will come powered by a Rockchip RK6321 SoC with two Cortex A5 cores, which makes it highly probable that the Meizu watch won’t run Android Wear, which strictly employs Qualcomm chips.

Since we can’t verify the authenticity of these pictures, make sure you take it with a pinch of salt. These images could probably be fan made.

Meizu has already sent out invites to a August 10 event, and with the company already out with its Meizu MX6 smartphone recently, we could just get to see the Meizu smartwatch unveiled on that day.

Invite for Meizu’s August 10 Event Leaked. Could It Be for A New Watch?

Habeeb Onawole — Thu, 28 Jul 2016 09:17:50 +0000

Just a few weeks after Meizu’s MX6 launch event, there seems to be another one in the horizon. Today, a Weibo account @mz posted images of a Meizu invite for an August 10 event.

The envelope which has an E printed on the front has people guessing what Meizu plans to launch. One group says it is probably for Meizu’s smartwatch whose box was posted on Weibo by a photographer recently. Another group says it is probably a new phone. But there is an agreement that the E signifies a new product launch.

Meizu seems to have released new versions for all their smartphone series already. There’s the new M3 series, the Pro 6 and the recently launched MX6, so a new phone series is a surprise to us.

If it is indeed a Meizu watch, we guess that means they are trying to beat Xiaomi into releasing a watch first. August 10 is still over a week away, we should get more details before then.

Meizu has no plans for a Notebook PC, but curved screen phones possible!

Joel Joseph — Tue, 19 Jul 2016 13:33:27 +0000

Meizu unveiled the Meizu MX6 flagship earlier today in China. The phone comes with the deca-core Helio X20 chip with 4GB RAM and a powerful 12MP Sony IMX386 CMOS sensor. Soon after the event, the company executive, Bai Yongxiang (CEO) and Li Nan (VP) talked about the company’s future plans with the Chinese media.

In an interview, Meizu’s CEO made it clear that the company currently has no plans for a Notebook PC. This comes at a time when Xiaomi is expected to unveil its first ever laptop on July 27. Considering Meizu and Xiaomi often compete in similar product segments, it was possible that Meizu could be developing its own version of the laptop. But that clearly is not on the cards, at least for now.

At present, he said that the company wants to focus on its smartphone business. Further, he added that a curved screen smartphone from the company is possible in the future. We have been hearing many rumors as well as pictures of the curved screen phone from Meizu and this could be a good indication that such a device is really in the works. When asked about smartwatches, the CEO didn’t completely say that a wearable was out of the question.

As for today’s MX6 release, he believes that the phone will easily sell over a million units.

If the camera with IMX386 sensor is really better than competitors, then MX6 with its 1999 Yuan ($300) can turn out to be a pretty good deal.

What do you think?

Round Meizu Smartwatch Leaked In Pictures, Launch On Oct 21?

Joel Joseph — Wed, 14 Oct 2015 06:16:54 +0000

Its been a long time since we have heard anything about a Meizu smartwatch. The only time the plans for such a device surfaced online was back in February. But since then, we haven’t got any news of a wearable from the company. Now, new images have come up online which shows that the Meizu smartwatch is almost finalized. It is said that the watch was spotted on a booth at the Hong Kong Electronics Fair.

The watch will reportedly be released alongside the upcoming Meizu Blue Charm Metal smartphone. The phone is all set to release on October 21 next week, so we will most likely see the Meizu smartwatch launch at that event. It is said that the watch won’t be running Android Wear. While the source fails to mention which OS will be running on the device, it could be AliOS optimized for wearables. Also, the device is said to be waterproof and dust proof and will come with a range of health based monitoring.

The company has not yet revealed any teasers or details about a new smartwatch. But if Meizu will release a smartwatch next week, expect more details in the coming days.

You can check out more pictures of the watch from down below.

Meizu’s smartwatch graphic

“Look at your watch. Do you have this type of habit?” this is the meaning of the Chinese message conveyed by the image which has gone viral on the internet. The image has been released by Meizu’s domestic advertising team on Weibo. There is a hand with a wrist watch design on it. Release of such an ad added a flavour to the rumours that Meizu, a leading electronic company of China is a new player in the smartwatch market. The company has established its name in the global market because of its uniqueness. But the image also has some traces of a Meizu Mx3 smartphone. In this way, this ad could be interpreted as sarcasm from Meizu to the current smartwatch revolution. The message could be that you don’t need a smartwatch, you just need a real smartphone like Meizu Mx3.

Some reports suggest that Meizu will follow the footsteps of Google and will announce its own OS for the smartwatch. The keyplayers which are already there in the market of smartwatch are LG, Motorola, Samsung, etc. Google released a list of companies at the time of the announcement of Android Wear, which can make use of the software. The list included HTC, Asus and many more. But Meizu could be a new entrant in the list.

But nothing could be stated clearly until the higher officials of this Chinese giant, Meizu, are ready to comment about the advertisement. People are curious to know about the original story and concept behind the ad.
