The electric vehicle maker Polestar is now partnering up with Meizu to bring something different from their business line. This partnership will introduce Polestar into the smartphone manufacturing industry. However, the electric vehicle manufacturer might not have plans to compete in the smartphone industry but build its EV fan base.
According to the available reports, the electric vehicle manufacturer is planning to launch this smartphone by the end of the year. The major focus of this coming smartphone will be its software features, but it might as well pack impressive hardware. Polestar aims to give potential buyers a glimpse of the software experience they’ll get from the brand’s electric vehicles.
Their partnership with Meizu is a strategic one, as the Chinese smartphone maker is also developing Polestar’s infotainment OS. The feel on both coming smartphones and Polestar cars will be very similar and will boost cross-platform integration. Here is all the information you need regarding this new partnership between Polestar and Meizu.
Details on the coming smartphone from the Polestar and Meizu partnership
At this time, the details of the coming smartphone from the Polestar and Meizu partnership (both are affiliated with China’s Geely) are bleak. However, recent reports have pointed out the software features that users should expect on this coming smartphone. The software that the Polestar smartphone will launch with will be similar to their vehicle’s infotainment system software.
Since this device would be developed by Meizu, Polestar won’t have to worry about building its software. It will use the Meizu Flyme OS, just like other smartphones from the Chinese smartphone manufacturer. This software will be a bit customized to fit Polestar, so it might not look 100% like what is available on Meizu devices.
Just like with Meizu devices, the coming Polestar smartphone might ditch Android usage. Its specifications might be similar to any of the new devices in the Meizu 20 series. Also, this coming device might feature a premium price tag that goes to prove that it’ll also feature impressive specifications.
The electric vehicle manufacturer plans to launch this device in China towards the end of the year. Once available, fans will be able to get a feel of the software experience present in a Polestar vehicle. This experience will enable a seamless transition between the Polestar smartphone and electric vehicles for better connectivity.
Polestar currently has three electric vehicles to its name, adding a smartphone will be wild. Other electric vehicle brands are also planning to launch a smartphone as well. The likes of Chinese electric vehicle manufacturer Nio are also planning to launch a smartphone soon.
