Gizchina News of the week
Meizu will bring the Blue Charm brand back to the market
At one time, Meizu was a kind of analogue of Xiaomi. Smartphones of these two companies were often compared and the choice of inexpensive devices often boiled down to the fact that you had to choose between the devices of the two companies. The crisis began when the Meizu 7 series saw the light of day; which was pretty much criticized for betting on the Helio X30 chip and an additional screen on the back. As a result, the company had to sell smartphones for a song and seriously spoil its financial situation.
Also, over time, not without help from the state, it was possible to get out of the debt hole and the model range of the company’s devices was reduced to a minimum. At the same time, the stake was made not on affordable models, but on devices from the flagship segment. Now Meizu decided to remember its glorious past and those devices that really made its name and sales.
In addition, the company recently announced the return to the market of the Blue Charm series. Meizu said that 1269 days after the creation of devices in this line was paused, they are returning. Recall that the release of models within this family was discontinued in March 2018; about 3.5 years after they entered the market.
