Hi,

there are four version of Meizu MX4:

1. Flyme U – China Unicom OS version: Chinese apps preinstalled, no 
google play.
2. Flyme C – China Mobile OS version: TD-SCDMA version (different kind 
of signal broadcasting), Chinese apps preinstalled, no google play.
3. Flyme A – Chinese Version OS: Chinese apps preinstalled, no google play.
4. Flyme I/G – OS version for international devices selled from 
meizumart.com and meizu.it: No chinese apps,  Google Play is present.

Usually you can find "A" and "I" version. Out of China it's rare to find 
"C" and "U" version.
MX4 Ubuntu Edition it's an "I" version.

So, you can have an "A" version of MX4 and switch the Flyme firmware to 
"I" version. You can find both firmware ("Beta", "A" and "I" version) 
here:

(to download firmware, click the right button on the link and then copy 
and paste link address into your browser. Don't click directly on the link).

Pay attention if you want proceed to flash your device.

Bye
