As you know, developers with “Meizu” when working with the OS went a special way, developing on the basis of the “Android” OS a modified operating system called “Flyme OS”.

One of the features of this system was the rejection of pre-installation on the phones from Meizu M3 and M5 of a number of programs from Google, in particular, the Play Store.
