Meizu And Blue Charm Could Split


Rumour has it that Meizu and its Subbrand ā€œBlue Charmā€ are set to split from one another.

For a few years now Meizu has been launching budget phones under the Blue Charm name or in China ā€œMeilanā€. This sub-brand was set up as a response to phones from Xiaomiā€™s Redmi range, but while Redmi remains part of Xioami, Meilan could soon split from its parent company.

Apparently, the split would see former CMO of Huawei, Zhe Yang take over the day to day running of Meizu while Li Nan would move to the Meilan brand and become itā€™s CEO.

The rumours have sparked quite a controversy on Chinese social media with some fans criticising the idea while other welcoming a split so long as it sees Meilan move to Qualcomm chipsets and Meizu move back to Exynos processors from Samsung.

Weā€™ll be keeping a close eye on the news and will post updates as soon as we get more information.

Still Have a MX4 around the house (Mind It’s A phone from 2014) And It Still Frequently Gets Updates (Last Month It got Flyme 6 Along The other Meizu Flagships) Plus A friend has a M3 note and Updates are still rolling . On the Other hand Xiaomi rarely updates their MTK phones (have a redmi Pro , received only 1 update since i got it)
