In February 2024, following its acquisition by Geely, Meizu announced a strategic shift to focus on AI and automotive products. This included the planned unveiling of the DreamCar MX EV later this year. However, recent rumors suggest a potential return to the smartphone market.
These rumors gain traction with a new report originating from China. The report, based on 3C certification, confirms a 66W fast-charging capability and a sizeable 5,500mAh battery for the rumored device, dubbed the Meizu 21x. More surprisingly, the report suggests the phone might utilize the high-end Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 chip, exceeding initial speculations.
This development raises questions. Could the Meizu 21x be the company’s final smartphone offering, or is this a sign of a potential reversal in its strategic direction? Time will tell.
