Meizu thinks it can sell 20 million smartphones without planning to

Meizu is really starting to make a name for itself. Not only did the Chinese company manage to release some impressive devices last year, it managed to sell tons of them. The company plans to use this momentum to plow through 2015 and its so confident that the company thinks it can sell more than 20 million smartphones without really even planning to. At least, that’s what it claims on its Weibo account. 

Meizu has been all over the news lately, for several reasons in fact. This China-based company surprised many people last year when they released a couple of really great devices and managed to sell lots of them, well, as many as they could make that is. This Chinese smartphone manufacturer has big plans for 2015, that’s for sure. They have signed an agreement with Canonical a couple of months ago, and they did the same with Alibaba a couple of days ago. The Canonical agreement basically means that we’ll be seeing an Ubuntu-powered Meizu device out on the market soon, and Alibaba is the biggest e-commerce in China, even worldwide based on the amount of merchandise they handle. The Alibaba’s $590 million investment will surely help Meizu expand their production capacity and move the company in the right direction.
