Meizu Technology, following the example of LG, is winding down its smartphone business (or rather, what’s left of it) – in the past one of the largest smartphone manufacturers, now owned by the Chinese automaker Geely, which declared that the future belongs to artificial intelligence and will invest “everything in AI.”
According to a post on Weibo, the FlymeOS UI team will begin working on new AI terminal devices after the restructuring, which will be based on leading (globally available) AI models such as Open AI.

Meizu has laid the foundation for a multi-terminal experience with the announcement of Flyme Auto, an infotainment system for Geely cars including Polestar and Lotus that seamlessly connects to FlymeOS 10 devices such as the recent Meizu 20 and Meizu 21 flagships.
Chairman of the Board of Directors and CEO of Xingji Meizu Group Shen Ju, the life cycle of smartphones is growing and users now update devices on average once every 4 years. He believes that new players are now offering roughly the same capabilities in terms of performance, interface smoothness, photo/video and software features. This is why Meizu decided not to release Meizu 21 Pro, Meizu 22 and Meizu 23.
In fact, Meizu has been out of the game for a long time, so now the company has formalized the current situation – this is if we talk about supporting devices outside of China, because Meizu left the international arena many years ago. At the same time, Meizu promises to continue to support current smartphone models and maintain existing offline stores in China.
Meizu’s new mobile OS, optimized for the new era of AI, should be released before the end of 2024, and with it the first device with artificial intelligence will debut. There are no specifics yet and it is interesting that Meizu still remains in the top of the most popular brands and smartphones in Ukraine. Who else was discussed in a recent article analyzing changes in the smartphone market in Ukraine since the beginning of the war.
