MEIZUはスマートフォンを3シリーズに分け、PROシリーズ・MXシリーズ・Mシリーズの展開をしています。
その中の“Meizu M+数字”の命名方式を持つMシリーズがHuaweiとhonorの関係になることがわかっており、独自サイトを展開することが予想されています。
“mblu”であって“mblue”ではありません。

こちらはGoogleのドメイン検索サービスを使って“mblu.com”のWhois情報を掲載しています。
ドメインを取得したのはMeizu Technology Co., Ltd、すなわちMEIZUであることがわかります。
今のところこのサイトにはアクセスできません。
Mシリーズは中国で魅藍と書き、魅がMで藍がBlueを表していますので“mblu.com”になったのでしょう。
今後、Mシリーズスマートフォンの命名方式が変わる可能性があり、例えば中国では魅藍note7が発表された場合、海外名では今までの命名方式だとMeizu M7 Noteになりますが、新しい命名方式ではmblue note7となるかもしれません。
海外での名前に変更が起こる場合、発表会やTwitterでいち早く告知すると紛らわしいことが起こりにくくなると思うので、本格的に海外展開を目指すのであれば気をつけてほしいですね。
