Smartisan recently announced that they would
be holding a launch event on May 9, 2017, in China. The device expected to
launch has been identified as the Smartisan Nut Pro.
The Smartisan Nut Pro is said to pack a Snapdragon
626 processor backed by 4GB of RAM. The device may likely have two storage
versions of 32GB and 64GB respectively. The Nut Pro possesses all the features
of a decen mid-ranger including a 13MP rear camera as well as 4MP selfie
shooter. There is also the Android 7.1.1 Nougat OS providing the interface.
What’s new is
that Smartisan may likely include some level of optimization on the device. The
latest teaser poster shared by the company gives this impression. The poster
talked about mobile phone chips coming in faster than 310% over the years but
the phones don’t perform faster than 13%. While the poster is just meant as a
countdown to the launch event, it could also contain some clue that Smartisan
is planning to surprise us with some features other than those offered by the
decent Snapdragon 626 chipset.
Already, booking for the Nut Pro has opened, where
participants would need to deposit 500 Yuan to register. The device is set to
ship on May 10 with its price likely set at 1,799 Yuan.
