About a year ago, word got around that Meizu was planning to exit the smartphone market to focus entirely on AI. At the time, we believed the Meizu 21 Pro would be the company’s final phone.
But fortunately, that speculation was wrong. The Chinese smartphone brand made a comeback by launching three new models of smartphones. And now it's heading to Nepal, teaming up with Teletalk as its official distributor. Let's discuss everything we know.
Meizu comeback
Brand that was big once
Meizu started out in 2003, first making MP3 players, then moving into smartphones. Back in the day, phones like the Meizu M9 and MX series stood out for their sleek design and a custom Android system called Flyme OS. Around 2015–2016 Meizu was a big name in China, going head-to-head with brands like Xiaomi and Huawei.

But things went downhill. Tough competition, lack of new ideas, and weak marketing outside China caused Meizu to fade from the spotlight. By 2020, the brand had almost disappeared from the global scene.
In 2022, Meizu was bought by Geely, the company behind Volvo and Polestar. Since then, Meizu has shifted focus i.e., not just making phones, but also building a tech ecosystem that connects smartphones, cars, and smart devices.
With new products like the Meizu Note 22, mblu 22, and mblu 22 Pro, the company is trying to get back into the premium market (once again).

So, what’s coming to Nepal?
Meizu is stepping into the Nepali smartphone market through a partnership with Teletalk, one of the country’s leading distributors. Although the specific models haven't been officially announced, it's likely that Meizu will introduce budget to mid-range devices at the beginning phase.
With competitive pricing aimed at challenging established brands like Xiaomi, Samsung, and Vivo, Meizu has a real chance to make an impact. If they can back this up with reliable customer service and solid after-sales support, they could quickly earn a spot in Nepal’s fast-growing smartphone market. Let's hope for the best!
