meizu-trioMeizu, one of the more notable smartphone manufacturers that hail from China, is certainly looking forward to the year 2015 with plenty of optimism and aplomb. Why do we say so? Well, the Chinese smartphone manufacturer looks set to announce something new – or perhaps even up to three new things at the end of January. In fact, a new teaser has already been spotted on the Ubuntu China Weibo page (which is the equivalent of Twitter over in that part of the world) that suggests up to three different smartphones could roll out. In good time too, I say, as that is when the Chinese New Year is about to kick off close to the third week of February, and what better time than at a family reunion when you show off your latest mobile acquisition?

The inscription definitely has the number three shown, which could very well point to three more products getting the announcement treatment at the end of this month – or the 27th of January, to be exact. Of course, all of it could be lost in translation, since there is also the color to think about.

Meizu has been tipped to roll out an Ubuntu-powered smartphone for quite some time already, so it will not be a surprise at all to hear that this particular announcement has something to do with Ubuntu for smartphones. So far, Ubuntu for smartphones did get an announcement two years back, but it has not managed to make serious inroads into the mobile industry, despite being made available to developers and manufacturers for over a year already. We will just have to play the sit and wait game now.
