Earlier this year Meizu attempted to launch a smartphone that had zero buttons and zero ports. It was an intriguing concept, but as it turns out it was nothing more than a marketing stunt.
Remember earlier this year when Meizu took the wraps off a brand new smartphone that had no physical buttons and no ports? The company had later attempted to launch the device on Indiegogo to try and raise money for production, but at a price of $1,300, it did not seem like there were many who were willing to take a risk on such a concept.
Now perhaps in a bid to save face (or maybe it’s true), Meizu’s CEO Jack Wong took to the company’s official forums and revealed that the phone was not real and that it had been a marketing stunt where the company apparently had no intentions of ever mass-producing it.
