C’è un nuovo aggiornamento di sistema per Meizu M2, Meizu M1 Note, Meizu M2 Note, Meizu MX4 Pro, Meizu MX5 e Meizu Pro 5 in versione internazionale, che introduce la versione software Flyme 5.1.8.0G.

A differenza del solito, questa nuova versione software non include le applicazioni e i servizi di Google e ciò vuol dire che vanno installati a parte manualmente tramite l’applicazione Google Installer (trovate qui la procedura).

Niente paura però, perché in futuro le applicazioni e i servizi di Google saranno preinstallati nuovamente e non ci sarà bisogno di alcun passaggio manuale. Attualmente Meizu sta lavorando su alcune migliorie software e per questo ha deciso di tagliare fuori temporaneamente le applicazioni e i servizi di Google.

Ma adesso passiamo al changelog, che è davvero ricco di novità:
