Back in September, Polestar announced its plans to launch a Meizu-made smartphone to complement its expanding fleet of electric vehicles and we now have our first glimpse of the device. The company teased Polestar Phone’s design during its inaugural Polestar Day event.
The phone has the signature Meizu design
language seen on the Meizu 20 series with flat metal frame and three camera
modules housed in individual camera rings. A closeup from the video revealed
we’re looking at a 23mm equivalent main camera with an f/1.9 aperture alongside
a 70mm telephoto (f/2.0) and a 15mm ultrawide lens with an f/2.4 aperture.
Polestar Phone also brings a flat display with a punch hole cutout for the
selfie camera. The sides feature Polestar branding while the back has the
company logo.
One of the more interesting bits is how
Polestar will integrate its upcoming phone with its cars. Meizu, owned by the
same parent company Geely, has its own Flyme Auto car software. However,
reports from China suggest the Polestar Phone might offer a Polestar OS
interface which is likely developed in collaboration with Meizu.
The device is billed as a flagship phone
meaning we should expect to see Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 chip, plenty of
RAM and some form of fast charging too. Polestar Phone is rumored to be
exclusive to China but we’ll have to wait for more details and an official
launch before jumping to conclusions.
