Like many companies who rely on components from Japan, the plucky little makers, Meizu, are suffering due to delays in supply of necessary parts. The component that is causing delays for is the high definition capacitive which is manufactured by Japanese company
Sharp.
According to Jack Wong the CEO of Meizu, the shortage is likely to last until at least May, making the sort after
Meizu M9 Android smart phone even more rare than before!
Usually in cases such as this an alternative supply of
screens would be found, but this may be impossible for the M9 as the
screen is of a very high specification and even out shines the
retina display found on the iPhone 4 under certain conditions!
