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 design. Since its inception, its hardware and software have been
different from other companies. However, the company has not launched a proper
smartphone 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.
