Meizu unveiled their latest flagship device, the Pro 5, at an event in Beijing last month and was scheduled to go on sale from the coming Monday,12th October. But this China-based company has been forced to delay the availability of this smartphone until November.
According to the Chinese website GizChina , a typhoon that recently hit southern China caused flood at the company’s factory in Guangdong and eventually delayed the launch of the Pro 5. The company representatives also confirmed that the Guangdong factory affected by this vicious flood was used to manufacture the body chassis of the handset. Though Meizu as of now has not revealed whether any other production line of its devices has been damaged by the flood or not.
