Meizu Initiates Polling Drive for Renaming Flyme OS
Meizu, the prominent Chinese smartphone maker, is in quest of a fresh Chinese title for its Flyme OS and has kickstarted a voting campaign to cherry-pick the ultimate designation. On November 9, the company declared that it would solicit recommendations from the populace to christen its operating system anew.
Four Iterations of Voting
The polling initiative encompasses a total of 32 monikers and will unfold across four stages. At present, the inaugural round of voting is live, enabling users to select their favored name from the pool of 32 options.
Post the first phase, the 16 titles garnering the maximum votes will progress to the subsequent round. This winnowing process will persevere until only four contenders remain poised for the final selection.
Grand Finale at Media Briefing
The culminating phase of voting is slated for a media briefing, where participants will cast their votes for their preferred title out of the quartet of finalists. The name securing the highest count of votes will be anointed as the fresh Chinese label for Flyme OS.
Kickoff of Initial Round of Voting
The ongoing primary round of voting is accessible within the Meizu community. Each user is entitled to a single vote per round. The deadline for the first round is set for today at 23:59:59 (GMT +8).
As of now, the polling has drawn 5316 contributors. Although the exact count per name remains undisclosed, predominant Chinese news outlets indicate that a majority of users have rallied behind "无界" or "Unbounded" (translated).
A Suited Appellation
"Unbounded" is deemed a fitting title as Meizu recently introduced the catchphrase "New Generation, Unbounded Ecosystem" for Flyme OS 10. This choice aligns closely with Meizu's ambition of engineering a "boundary-free" ecosystem.
Local media sources hint that Meizu has also sought trademarks for "Unbounded Car" and "Unbounded Mobile Phone."
Revelation of Ultimate Designation
The ultimate title for Flyme OS will be unveiled by Meizu at an upcoming press event in the following weeks. Stay tuned for further updates on this enthralling progression.
