Meizu is a well-known smartphone brand in China. The company, like every other Chinese OEMs, produces budget devices that offer ‘value for money’. The smartphone is also sought out by a number of youths in Nepal which is why CG had launched it a couple of years ago. However, it couldn’t quite make an impression here as the company completely stopped its sales.
That, however, isn’t stopping Prism Technologies as the distributor of Infocus and (soon-to-be) Asus is launching four new Meizu smartphones in Nepal officially. The devices that will make their way here are – Meizu C9, Meizu M6T, Meizu Note 9 and Meizu 16Xs.
