When M8 first began development, the target competitor was locked onto the iPhone 3G. Thus, the M8 was equipped with hardware comparable to the iPhone 3G, a customized version of Windows CE, completely bypassing the outdated Windows Mobile 6.5, and directly challenging Apple.

Unfortunately, Meizu, which had only previously made MP4 players, failed to foresee the difficulties of developing a phone - how to resolve electromagnetic interference between multiple components, how to enrich their own platform's applications as much as possible, and how to ensure the phone works properly in various networks. In order to overcome these difficulties, Meizu paid a hefty tuition: by the time M8 went on sale, the competitor had already become the faster and stronger iPhone 3GS. While Meizu's custom version of Windows CE was being patched up repeatedly, Windows Mobile 6.5 had already been quietly replaced by Android.

You know, when it comes to perfectionists, tuition is rarely wasted. The expected and unexpected difficulties encountered by Meizu on the M8 ultimately became the most valuable asset for this company in the smartphone field. Due to these experiences, the Meizu M9 no longer experienced frequent delays. The Meizu M9 no longer hoped to achieve everything at once, taking charge of all hardware and software. The Meizu M9 also no longer had goals or specifications that surpassed current technological levels.

The Meizu M9 placed before us, compared to its predecessor, lacked some of the radicalism and disruption but gained more stability and moderation. Even the most independent Windows CE from the M8 was replaced by the popular Google Android. Various changes in the M9 may disappoint many tech enthusiasts and users, and may also bore many observers. But you cannot deny that the Meizu M9 has higher practicality and better caters to the tastes of general users. On the M9, you will no longer have powerful hardware without finding applications, nor will you fail to send text messages or receive calls due to network compatibility issues.

After the rigorous refinement of the M8 being stuck in the mud, Meizu has become more stable and cautious. These changes are fully displayed on the M9. The challenge Meizu now faces is, once stability is injected into the M9, how can they snatch food from the tiger's mouth in the fiercely competitive smartphone market, and how can they soothe the restless hearts of existing users?
