YunOS Alliance Meizu Challenges and Opportunities Coexist

At the time of the rumors of YunOS and Meizu, many people said they were not optimistic. The reason is simple. Meizu's MX4 is loaded with Ali's YunOS, and it's time to die. This understanding is not wrong, but YunOS and Meizu marriage, not simply change the phone system, which in fact there is a challenge and opportunities coexist, and hidden deep layout.

Before discussing this layout, first correct a concept that is the fundamental difference between YunOS and MIUI and Color OS. all along, many people think that MIUI is a system independently developed by Xiaomi, and Color OS is an OPPO-developed system. This is a wrong claim. To be precise, MIUI is a customized Android system for Xiaomi's mobile phone; Color OS is an Android system for OPPO's deep customization.

In the same way, the systems of mobile phones such as Coolpad, Huawei, and VIVO are all based on Android's deep customization, rather than independent research and development. Ali's YunOS is a mobile operating system similar to Android. In such a market environment where the Android system is tailored to each other, Meizu completed the YunOS-based adaptation based on Flyme's Android-based deep customization system. It is not as simple as adding a mobile phone to a system.

From the Meizu's layout, with the craftsman spirit of Huang Zhang, the Meizu mobile phone is slightly better in terms of craftsmanship. The Meizu people who want to become China's Apple Fans seem to lack a system like Apple's iOS. This is the true intention of Meizu teaming up with YunOS. At the moment, Meizu holds Android in one hand and the other hand reaches out to YunOS with an olive branch, forming a strategic layout that can be attacked and retired.

Objectively, Ali YunOS faces many challenges in its growth. One is the challenge of building and improving the ecological chain, and the other is the challenge of adapting YunOS to mobile applications. In the market pattern of Android and iOS, giant Microsoft’s WP has not yet formed an ecological chain. YunOS is qualified to establish an ecological chain. To know that Microsoft's appeal is far better than Ali.

In the construction of the ecological chain, the powerful Microsoft attracted a large number of developers and also formulated a division model. Even so, the WP ecosystem chain is incomplete due to the small number of users. Therefore, YunOS wants to build an ecological chain, calls for many developers, and also has a considerable amount of installed capacity in a short period of time. After building a complete ecological chain, the adaptation of YunOS to various mobile applications is also a huge challenge. From a technical point of view, application adaptation based on the YunOS system is a vast system project. Not only involves a large number of applications, but also involves a wide range of mobile phone models.

Obviously, the future of YunOS is very difficult. For Meizu, Meizu’s core competitiveness will usher in a qualitative leap once YunOS can take a place under the pressure of Android and iOS. When other domestic mobile phone brands were immersed in the depth of the Android system, Meizu used YunOS to create a mobile phone system that truly belongs to the Chinese themselves. This is the Meizu vision and Meizu’s ambition.

Perhaps many people think that YunOS is an operating system developed by Ali and has nothing to do with Meizu. But let's not overlook the fact that YunOS is almost abandoned by Ali. Acer is under pressure from Google and Ali to part ways. Meizu chooses to support YunOS. This is tantamount to giving in the snow. In the future, YunOS is bound to give Meizu a great deal of inclination on some resources. What's more, the news of Ali investing in Meizu has been circulating.

Meizu hopes to use YunOS to build core competitiveness and form a closed loop of hardware and software. Ali hopes to use the influence of Meizu and Meizu mobile phone to promote YunOS to build an ecological closed loop of e-commerce. From this perspective, the cooperation between YunOS and Meizu is a long-term layout of the two companies. Pre-installation is only a superficial phenomenon.

Of course, it is an indisputable fact that YunOS faces many challenges as a system that is not favored. It can be seen only from the layout, Ali and Meizu play this trick is still very beautiful. In the future, how far the cooperation between YunOS and Meizu can go is an unknown, but this kind of trial and courage is still commendable.
