This morning, Hubei Xingji Times Technology Co., Ltd. and Zhuhai Meizu Technology Co., Ltd. It held a strategic investment signing ceremony in Hangzhou and officially announced that Xingji Times has a controlling stake of 79.09% in Meizu Technology and has obtained independent control over Meizu Technology.

Following this strategic investment, Meizu Teknoloji will continue its activities as an independent brand. Huang Zhipan, CEO of Meizu Technology, announced that the Meizu 19 flagship smartphone will be launched in the first quarter of next year. This is the first official proof of the development of a new phone.

Initially, the Meizu 19 was expected to be introduced this spring. Huang Zhipan confirmed that the company plans to launch the Meizu 19 in September. But in connection with this collaboration, it was decided to redefine and develop new strategies as well as adjustments to the smartphone.

According to information from Digital Chat Station, Meizu 19 may be equipped with Qualcomm’s next-generation flagship single-chip system SM8550 (Snapdragon 8 Gen 2), which will be released in November.

Meizu previously launched the Meizu 19 Manager program, which allows Meizu users to participate in the development of Meizu 19. Meizu management had already drawn attention to the panda-style rear panel design. But it is unlikely that the smartphone will receive such a design.

There are also rumors that Meizu plans to equip the smartphone with the Harmony operating system.
