We need full support for (G)lobal roms to be on par with the (A)sian roms. Let's hope this comes true and is a start and Meizu understands it needs to give full support for Global users. Otherwise it risks loosing their Global fans and users to other brands.

I don't agree. I don't think that's the issue. I do think that Flyme has it's value and gives advantages over Android One IF it's properly supported! The real issue is this: Meizu wants to sell (G)lobal phones but doesn't want to or it doesn't have the resources to support it in the same way as their (A)sian counterparts. This is a fraud and lie to Global users because they don't get the same final product/software experience/support as their Asian counterparts. Either stops selling as "Global" phones or starts fully supporting Global phones. We need Meizu to give Global users support as good and on par as Asian support. We need a Global update plans as good as their Asian update plans, look here:

Look, I fully understand where you're coming from and all the risk/management assessment/point of view. I just don't agree that that's the better option. It lacks a differentiating/identity factor.
There's a factor of say Passion/Emotion/Vision which is built-in in the Meizu character/personality perception that is forward to consumers through FlymeOS. That's a differentiating factor from everyone else. Some love it some don't. I actually like it: beautiful, simple, easy, it works light/fast and doesn't get in your way. Not perfect for sure, but there isn't one.

Android One lacks it but has everything else you mentioned. It's good for a specific model/series for that kind of users, like Xiaomi did with A1/A2 model series. Meizu should also make them available yes. But not depend on them. It would kill all the Passion/Emotion associated with the brand Meizu. Like Xiaomi did.

If you're in to management you (should) know for sure that not everything should be run as coldhearted risk/management assessment/point of view (trap), so perhaps you understand where I'm coming from. That's how Apple got to be Apple, for example.

So there isn't an easy way out of it, Meizu loyal global users/fans like their unique innovation and simplicity approach trough harware/software design/vision. If you take that out you may improve your risk/management assessment/point of view but you'll lose your fan base and that's a huge risk by it self, isn't it?

Anyway that's my two cents... I just hope that Meizu comes true on its Global user support to be on par with the Asian support. And has to come first and foremost with proper roms updates/upgrades, forget about regional/country presence, that can come later.
