Meizu, a manufacturer that once held a significant share in markets like China, has also felt the impact of this intense competition. Recent reports suggest that Meizu might be shifting its focus from smartphones to AI products.

    As the smartphone landscape evolves, Meizu's strategic shift towards AI products raises questions about the future of its smartphone lineup. The Meizu 21 Pro, with its high-end specifications and anticipated features, may serve as a testament to the brand's commitment to innovation in the face of a fiercely competitive market.
