Notable examples include the Meizu MX4 and the Meizu M2 Note. However, with the growing competition, Meizu failed to catch up and lost relevancy.

Earlier this year, the company presented the Meizu 20 series to keep its position in the premium smartphone segment. Now, it is already preparing the Meizu 21 and Meizu 21 Pro for the market.

Geely keeps boosting Meizu as a smartphone brand
The earlier arrival of the Meizu 21 series confirms Geely’s new strategy to boost Meizu’s presence in the smartphone market. The new smartphones will compete in a tough period marked by the flagship releases from OnePlus, Xiaomi, and Samsung. However, with solid specifications, Meizu could catch some attention in this period. Moreover, we have to agree that the brand has a great identity that could stand against the competition. Rather than looking generic, its devices are unique and run a unique software skin over Android.
Besides the recent efforts in the smartphone scene, Meizu has also been working with Geely develop its car infotainment system called Flyme Auto. The company recently struck a deal with Polestar for its in-car infotainment development.
