Hacker doomsday? A brief analysis of Meizu Flyme 4 security

Nowadays, smartphones have long become people's most intimate and trusted electronic devices. Due to the great richness of mobile phone functions, people will naturally store a lot of private things in their mobile phones intentionally or unintentionally. According to a survey by foreign institutions, users who choose to store private data such as online banking and personal privacy information on their mobile phones currently account for the vast majority of all electronic devices. While mobile phones bring convenience to people, they also bring a serious problem: security. In recent years, various privacy leaks caused by mobile phone intrusions have forced us to face this problem. As a well-known domestic mobile phone manufacturer, what solution does Meizu have for this problem?

First of all, we must first understand the security flaws of Android, the mainstream mobile phone operating system. The Android system is a three-layer structure based on Linux. It consists of the bottom Linux kernel, the middle Android framework layer and the application layer above it. The three are closely related. Generally speaking, ordinary applications run in the application layer, and these programs have no effect on the system core. However, for some malicious programs, they can completely disguise themselves as "security software" and then deceive users' trust to obtain access permission to the system framework layer. Once they can access the framework layer, these programs can try to attack the Linux core layer directly through vulnerabilities, thereby exposing all the data on the mobile phone to an extremely dangerous state.

Therefore, the most effective way to ensure the security of mobile phones is to start from the system. In the latest Flyme 4 system released by Meizu, the system security module is implanted into Flyme 4 in cooperation with the famous mobile security manufacturer LBE and Tencent, thus achieving higher security. This is different from third-party security programs. Through cooperation with Tencent and LBE, Flyme 4 has actually greatly enhanced the system's ability to prevent external risks. Combined with Flyme's highly acclaimed security design, Flyme 4 has achieved higher system security than similar systems.

Compared with previous generations of Flyme systems, Flyme 4 has taken system security to a new level. With the technical strength of two major domestic mobile phone security companies, Meizu has made Flyme 4 the most secure Flyme system ever. In the face of increasingly severe mobile phone security situations, Flyme 4 will safeguard users' mobile phone experience.
