The other day we wrote that Chinese car manufacturer Nio plans to enter the smartphone market. Now details about the brand's first novelty have appeared online.

What we know

So, according to the source, the smartphone will run on the flagship Qualcomm processor. Since the novelty is going to be released in 2023, it is likely to mention Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 chip. The proprietary operating system Nio OS should also be there, which will be the main Android, voice assistant and 100-watt fast charging. It will be able to charge a 4,500-4,800 mAh battery in 25 minutes.

The smartphone will come with QHD+ display. The panel will have rounded edges, a hole for the front camera and a built-in fingerprint scanner. There is no information about the price of new items yet, but it is known that it will be a premium flagship smartphone. So we can assume that the gadget will cost about $1000.

Recall that Nio has already registered a division Nio Mobile Technologies Co Ltd with a start-up capital of $100 000 000. The company plans to release a smartphone once a year.
