Interesting thread.

You Meizu people have done a good job with Flyme OS. But still, Android must be always upgraded to latest version available because of compatibility to software updates, latest security patches etc... and we know nowadays that HW is not a problem! Most mid-range to high-range smartphones and even certain low-range ones, are pretty capable or running latest Android without any issues - custom ROMS prove that. Of course, a manufacturer has to sell devices to stay alive and running latest Android OS is a good selling point.

For me, Meizu should firstly finish upgrading all devices with stable 5th version of Flyme OS by the end of this month. Then, mid-summer they should present newer version with Android 6.0 that we can test-run till the end of the year where the company should give us the stable version.

you get what you pay for, meizu product manager mentioned if they cant update the old devices then they will do their best to put more features to compensate for that, meizu perhaps has a ratio 70:30 70 planned budget goes to hqrdware design and 30 for os development since they want to rely on the beta team which consists of current users of their product, which good if the user base is big. anyways meizu is still adapting, i hope they will improve especially on the os development because hardware is useless if the os unstable. just my opinion guys, please do correct me if im wrong. cheers

Some app required Android 6.0.  I know Flyme OS 5 has most of Android 6.0 function but It's can't install Android 6 required apps.
Android 5.0 and Android 6.0 is different API level

Android 5.0  API level = 21-22
Android 6.0 API level =23

What apps required it ? ;>

Google Camera 3.2.042 HTC Camera 7.60.641373
and many apps. I guess you know more.

To be true, none of apps I use every day don't need it :)

And about Android 6 you can read here:

..but it's fare to say that an operating system applies to all, right? Which means that you may not use a certain app that requires latest Android OS version but I might do - and I know some apps that I cannot install because I'm using 5.1.

Flyme OS is great. But Meizu should consider upgrading Android OS version, why not to latest N.

No need for you but that not mean other person no need like you.

I agree with you.
