Smartphones from the Chinese company Meizu are in demand in our country. They have high-quality assembly, good cameras and an intuitive interface. And some models can compete even with other equally popular Chinese brands. But how did it all start? How was the company able to achieve success? We will tell you about it today.

The history of the Chinese company Meizu began in 2003 in the city of Zhuhai. While many companies needed decades to gain recognition and success, this Chinese manufacturer managed to achieve success in a short period of time. The founder of the company is Huang Xiuzhang, whom everyone knows as Jack Wong. He was so passionate about electronics that he created his own company! Jack's ambitions and ideas played a crucial role in the development and establishment of the company.

Why did the company get the name Meizu? "Mei" - translates as "a person who is interested in technology." And "zu" is a group of people. That's how it turns out that Jack didn't just recruit staff, but assembled a "team of people who are passionate about technology." In the beginning, Jack was well helped by his own savings, which greatly simplified the process of starting the company. But the happiness did not last long.

The first MP3 player

In 2003, the first MP3 player, the Meizu MX, was released. Unfortunately, it wasn't anything special, but it almost turned out to be a complete copy of the Cowon iAUDIO CW300. In addition, after the production of the player, there was no money left for advertising and promotion at all. Perhaps that's why it didn't become the company's breakthrough. This situation upset Jack and he even considered selling the company. But he came to his senses in time and continued his business.

A year later, a new player is coming out, which this time was not a pathetic copy. The Meizu ME received its own design and very excellent characteristics - a small LCD display, several memory modifications (128/256/512 MB), it worked on the Sigmatel 3520 platform, and control was done thanks to a joystick. This one has gained a lot of popularity and now people have found out about the company. A little later, this player had three successors, each of which had its own special feature. The Meizu MI received an unusual design and was aimed more at the "beautiful half" of users, the aluminum alloy Meizu X2 and the Meizu E2. They all had one function in common - joystick control.

In the spring of 2005, the Meizu E5 player was released. He had an FM radio, an alarm clock, and even the ability to read text from a screen that could display about 6 lines. The joystick was replaced with a wheel that was centered on the button. This year, the Meizu logo has undergone changes and has remained the same for so many years...

In 2006, there were many rumors that the Chinese would show a new M8 player. But the company changes its plans almost at the last moment due to the fact that Apple is introducing its iPhone. Jack Wong decided to compete with the Americans, which was very difficult for him. Starting from the choice of the operating system to the choice of a capacitive touch screen.

In the summer of 2010, Jack Wong started rumors about the development of a new smartphone M9, which was announced in January 2011. Then he provoked a huge stir and people stood in queues behind him, as they are now, for the iPhone. This instance became the company's first Android-based smartphone. In addition, he was the first to receive his own Flyme firmware. A year later, the MX2 was released, which was quite excellent in its speed and could compete with the apple product. No matter how much they laughed at Android's performance back then, this smartphone worked really smartly.

2014 was very productive for the company, as sales increased significantly and production was in full swing. They were not distracted by the production of budget models, they tried to make one device per year without overloading the range. But in 2015, the Chinese company itself, Alibaba Group, invested $590 million in Meizu. At the same time, the first budget smartphones of the M - M1 mini and M1 Note series appear. In August 2017, Meizu unveiled its first smartphone, which received a platform from the American company Qualcomm - Meizu M6 Note.

The company's latest innovation is the world's first smartphone without holes and connectors, the Meizu Zero. Unfortunately, he remained at the research project stage. Probably, the Chinese are not ready to produce it en masse yet. It remains to wait for a flexible smartphone from them, which are now of great interest from users.

Of course, Meizu is now one of the most popular companies and its products are represented in many international markets. But, as we can see, this success was tinged with defeat. And even so, Jack Wong did not give up and was able to fulfill his dream.
