[Autohome News] On March 30, Meizu Lynk & Co’s Boundless Ecological Conference was officially held. At the meeting, Meizu released the Flyme Auto car operating system, which will be carried on (|). At the same time, Meizu 20 also has the function of UWB car key and matches Lynk & Co 08. In Meizu’s view, the future mobile phone will enter the car as a "part" and become a mobile phone domain. Coupled with the rapid iteration of mobile phones, it can bring continuous innovation to the car. Upgrading the mobile phone can upgrade the car.

In the cooperative research and development between Meizu and Geely, in the initial stage of car research and development, corresponding positions were reserved for mobile phones, chips, and related functions, and they were intervened in advance to jointly develop. The Flyme Auto car operating system has functions such as non-inductive link between mobile phones and cars, unbounded desktop, small window, random engine, application relay (such as car navigation and mobile phone navigation relay after getting off the bus), hardware sharing, etc.
■ Flyme Auto Operating System: Not inferior to Huawei Hongmeng!
The car system brings the concept of a negative screen from the mobile phone, and supports the interconnection of the car + mobile phone. At the same time, it has a deeply integrated and customized third-party app interface, etc. The overall function and UI interface display are completely comparable to Huawei’s Hongmeng system.
Aicy is an intelligent AI brand equipped with the entire car and machine system. Aicy voice has functions such as intelligence, fast response, global controllability, visible speech, soft and hard linkage, multi-tone area, custom wake words, etc. At the same time, it also has custom scenes, quick cards, intelligent recommendation cards, etc. to provide intelligent interaction.
Multiform desktop/free desktop can be flexibly customized, including live desktop, map desktop, wallpaper desktop, scene space, rest space, camping space, etc. OMS gesture recognition (OTA) has a combination of air gestures and common functions, such as liking (collecting) music, taking pictures with the camera; global pop-up confirmation, phone answering, notification opening, multimedia playback; global cancel operation, phone hanging up, notification closing, multimedia pause; rotating gesture to adjust volume and other functions.
In the connection with the mobile phone, Meizu mobile phone can be used as the non-sensory car key mobile phone application of the vehicle to get on the car, and take pictures around the vehicle, take pictures of the parking space number and transmit through Bluetooth, UWB, and Internet. At the same time, it can use the vehicle camera, voice and mobile phone computing power, and video conferencing realized by the application. In some functions, the car machine has also been deeply customized with related software, such as QQ Music, Autonavi Map, etc.
How did Meizu and Geely play together?
Some friends may wonder, how did Lynk & Co and Meizu play together? In June 2022, Geely’s subsidiary Star Age acquired a 79.09% stake in Meizu. Li Shufu said that at present, a new round of technological and industrial revolution has given birth to a large number of new formats and new models, and technological innovation and ecological integration of the consumer electronics industry and the automotive industry are imperative. In the future, the track of the smart car and smart phone industries will no longer be monotonous. The two will no longer go their separate ways, but an integrated relationship of multi-end point, full-scene and immersive experience for common users. By laying out the mobile phone business, the consumer electronics industry and the automotive industry will be deeply integrated, and the user ecological chain will be built across borders, which can achieve super synergy.
Since then, Meizu has deepened its ties with Geely’s brands, such as Meizu’s mobile phone entering the Lynk & Co mall, Meizu’s flagship store displaying Geely cars, and Meizu’s application for the "Unbounded Car" trademark. The Lynk & Co 08, as the first model of Meizu’s Flyme Auto car system, has also received a lot of attention.
■ About Lynk & Co 08
Lynk & Co 08 was launched on March 25. As the first mass-produced model of the new urban opposition aesthetic design style, it opened a new chapter in the design language of Lynk & Co. In addition to the appearance design, its Flyme Auto car system is also worthy of attention. For the Lynk & Co brand, the software and hardware updates of the car system are very frequent, from Yikatong E01 (GKUI Jike system), E02 chip (GKUI Jike 2.0 system), to the later E03 and Qualcomm Snapdragon 820A chip (LYNK OS system), and then to the Lynk & Co 09 with 8155 chip (LYNK OS N system), to today’s Meizu Flyme Auto car system, has been continuously upgraded.
Editorial comments
The combination of Meizu + Lynk & Co this time is easily reminiscent of the configuration of Wenjie + Huawei, and Huawei’s Hongmeng system has also become one of the selling points of the Wenjie series. Unfortunately, there is no open car experience link on site, so we cannot compare this system with Hongmeng. But it is certain that the car system does not directly transplant the mobile phone system to the car. Only companies that really find user requests and pain points and keep updating can win in the intelligent competition. If you are interested in the car system of Meizu and Lynk & Co, you can pay attention to the follow-up evaluation of Autohome.
With the examples of Hongmeng and Flyme Auto, we also found that, as Li Shufu said, the ecological integration of automotive electronics and consumer electronics is inevitable. This also gives future cars and even smart cockpits more room for imagination. Will players such as Apple enter the game? What do you think the future car system will be like? Does Lynk & Co satisfy you with this car? You can speak freely in the comment area! (Text/Autohome Xing Yueyang)
