Meizu will be 15 years next year and to celebrate
it, it will release a special flagship or rather two special flagships. Founder
and CEO of the Chinese manufacturer Jack Wong (Huang Zhang) took to Weibo to
reveal the name of the phone by posting the picture of a phone’s retail box
with Meizu M15 Plus inscribed on it. The “Plus” in the name means there will
most probably be a second variant called the Meizu M15.
The Meizu M15 and Meizu M15 Plus are expected to
feature full-screen displays and may likely be the first from Meizu to do so.
Meizu is more or less the only major Chinese manufacturer without a full-screen
phone at the moment.
Meizu’s CEO said in a different post that
manufacturing the phone is taking long, so it will be launched next year Spring
(probably before or after the Spring Festival), which is around mid-February.
Meizu was founded in 2003 and began as a
manufacturer of MP3 players before switching to MP4 players in 2006. It didn’t
begin making smartphones until 2008. So not only is next year its 15th
anniversary, it is also its 10th year anniversary as a smartphone manufacturer.
Meizu has added other products to its lineup other
than phones. It now makes headphones, power banks, smartbands, Bluetooth
speakers, and even has an android TV box and a lifestyle line that makes bags.
