So, let's know something about previous versions of Flyme OS also.

Flyme 4.5
It was unveiled on June 2, 2015 at the launch event of Meizu M2 Note. Global version of Flyme 4.5 was first released for Meizu MX5 on December 14, 2015. Apart from A, Y & G version , I version was introduced with Flyme 4.5 only for Indian users.It was released with upgraded Android version i.e Android 5.0(Lollipop). Due to upgraded android version, UI was fast and smoother. In Flyme 4, Immersive mode was limited to only system apps but in Flyme 4.5, all 3rd part apps can be added in Immersive mode. Animations and transitions were improved a lot. Meter Seperation was added in camera application. Power Consumption was also improved.

Flyme 5
It was unveiled on September 23, 2015 at the launch event of Meizu Pro 5. After 1 year of hardwork (After Flyme 4 was released), Flyme 5 was released based on Android 5.1(Lollipop). Global version of Flyme 5 was first released for Meizu MX5 on January 6, 2016 and it was released for rest of Meizu devices on February 4, 2016. I version was removed with introduction of Flyme 5 and it was integrated with G version for Indian users. All of us were using Flyme 5 until the Flyme 6 Open or Closed Beta were released. Flyme 5 was optimized, refined and was based on Flyme 4. It was brighter and more colorful. File Explorer was updated and was more compact in design. Power saving was optimized. It was more secure and security app was updated. Multitasking was improved a lot as compared to Flyme 4. Unfortunately, HD Dirac Sound was removed in this version. People are still requesting for it but can not say whether Flyme 6 will integrate it or not in Global Stable in near future.Rest you better know about Flyme 5 as you used it most and still using it till Stable Flyme 6 Global Version is released.
