Sometimes new electronic devices are so good, innovative and promising, that you might think they can’t possibly be true. That’s exactly the case with the Zero smartphone, an exciting Kickstarter project for a 1299$ phone with no ports whatsoever launched by the Chinese manufacturer Meizu a little over a month ago. Last week, with a surprisingly honest comment posted on the official Meizu forum, the company’s CEO Jack Wong admitted that the project was just a marketing stunt that spun out of control. “This crowdfunding project was just the marketing team messing about,” Wong wrote, “the holeless phone is just a development project from the R&D department, we never intended to mass-produce this project.” Let’s just accept it: screen notches, punch-hole front-cameras and USB-C ports are here to stay for another while.
