Geely-Backed Meizu Shelves Next Phone as It Shifts From Hardware to AI; Meizu 23 Will Not Be Sold

Meizu, now majority-owned by Geely’s Star Era, has completed development of the Meizu 23 but will not release it as the company pauses domestic phone hardware R&D and pivots to AI-driven software and ecosystems anchored on Flyme. Existing phones remain available while AR hardware and Flyme Auto are being prioritised, even as official sales channels show many phone models sold out.
