Huang Zhang

Huang Zhang is the founder of Meizu in No.210 中国手机江湖·下：从魅族小米锤子，到 OV 华为的新十年 | 中国互联网故事24. The episode describes him as an electronics enthusiast who built Meizu first through MP3-player quality and community trust, then through the M8 phone and the company’s software-design culture.

His role in the source is not only biographical. Huang’s forum presence and direct user communication explain why Meizu could create an unusually strong early product community, while later disputes around investment, governance, equity incentives, channel expansion, and organization show the limits of a founder-centered taste culture.
