Chinese manufacturer, Meizu, is trying hard to keep its smartphone business. In recent times, the company’s phone business has been going down. Presently, we hardly get any report from Meizu with respect to smartphones. Despite its poor smartphone business, the company still managed to release the Meizu 17 series.
According to a message on the official WeChat of Meizu Technology, the Meizu 17 series once again released an important update. This update brings MEMC dynamic interpolation compensation technology, leading a new round of system function upgrades.
According to reports, in addition to MEMC dynamic interpolation compensation technology, this update also includes GPU driver update strategy, “Flyme” fast pairing, camera auto exposure-focus lock, and new image editing functions.
This update will start trial recruitment on October 28, and the official version will be pushed in early December. It is interesting that Meizu is still releasing updates for its smartphones despite its dwindling smartphone business.
The Meizu 17 series has two smartphones that include Meizu 17 and Meizu 17 Pro. These smartphones were released back in May. For those who may have forgotten what these devices offer, here is their specs sheet.
