However, one day, Qualcomm, a mobile chip maker, recently signed a 3G / 4G Chinese patent license contract with Chinese mobile phone manufacturer Gionee, leaving only one Meizu mobile phone manufacturer in the future Chinese market. After the news of Qualcomm signing the agreement and single-handedly fighting, Qualcomm immediately issued a press release with a very interesting title stating that “China’s top ten smartphones are all licensed by Qualcomm.” It is also clear that Meizu is also included. Including it. Does this mean that Meizu, which has long cooperated with MediaTek, will also be included in the platform of Qualcomm in the future, which will attract the attention of all walks of life.

According to Chinese media reports, MediaTek has always been the most loyal friend of MediaTek. It was not until the end of 2016 that Meizu, which uses Samsung's flagship processor platform Exynos 8890, has always had a grudge against Qualcomm. Although most of the phones produced by Meizu use MediaTek and Samsung chips, some models of telecom have also used Qualcomm processors. However, both chip purchase and patent licensing are negotiated with Qualcomm through the foundry, followed by the trademark of Meizu. Therefore, Qualcomm believes that Meizu still violates the patent licensing regulations, making it an overseas lawsuit against Meizu, becoming the only Chinese mobile phone manufacturer to be notified of the high court.

However, just after signing a 3G / 4G Chinese patent licensing contract with another Chinese mobile phone manufacturer Gionee, the words "China's top ten smartphones are licensed by Qualcomm" have appeared on Qualcomm's press release. Does this mean that Meizu will enter the reconciliation phase with Qualcomm, causing market speculation. Coincidentally, there is also a product development plan suspected of Meizu in 2017 on the Internet. Among them, Meizu will plan to launch the Charm Blue M(xx) model in December 2017, and it is surprising to use the Qualcomm Snapdragon 626 processor.

According to the Meizu product planning map, the Meizu will push 6 new models in 2017. Among them, the charm blue 5S launched in February, the processor is the MediaTek MT6753. In June, the new generation of flagship PRO 7, the processor still uses MediaTek's 10 nanometer Helio X30 processor. The next family is the new Charm Blue S, which uses the eight-core Helio P25 processor from MediaTek's 16-nanometer process. The new Dream Machine MX7 in September uses MediaTek's 10-nm process, eight-core Helio P30 processor. Then there will be the Charm Blue Note 6 in October, which will be paired with the Helio P20 processor of the MediaTek Helio P25. At the end of the plan, there is a Charm Blue M (xx) that will be launched in December, and the processor uses Qualcomm's Opteron 626 processor.

At present, the authenticity of this product plan is not known. However, as far as market players are concerned, at present Qualcomm is still the leader of mobile chips, and in the case of litigation, the reconciliation between Qualcomm and Meizu is imperative. However, as far as the foundation accumulated by Meizu and MediaTek has been accumulated for many years, it seems that it is not easy to completely fall back to Qualcomm. In this regard, it can be seen from this plan that even if Meizu is included in the Qualcomm processor platform, it will start to explore from the middle-end products, rather than knowing one or two from the flagship products. As for whether the future is really the way for the two to move toward reconciliation, it will be subject to continuous observation.
