Polestar , an galvanizing railroad car brand carry out of the nexus between Volvo and Chinese machine giant Geely , is now offering phones , too . Through its prescribed varlet on the microblogging platformWeibo , the car manufacturer has given us the first spirit at its upcoming earpiece bear the Polestar insignia .

Why is an EV brand making a phone ? Go necessitate Nio . Or maybe even Huawei and Xiaomi . But what matters here is that the Polestar Phone appear quite stunning . Now , that is n’t really surprising since Polestar CEO Thomas Ingenlath is a veteran graphic designer himself , and it is muse in the brand ’s automobile .

Just take a look at thePolestar Synergy concept , and you ’ll know that this stain has a taste for aesthetics . What ’s a debate for another day ia that Polestar has tardily diversified its portfolio of machine , offering everything from a saloon to a compact sport utility vehicle , as it tries to eat Tesla ’s EV lunch .

But another reason why the Polestar Phone looks soft on the eyes is because parent company Geely has a stake in Meizu , a Formosan smartphone brand that hasconsistently remained at the vanguard of beautiful smartphones . Remember the Meizu Zero , the earthly concern ’s first embrasure - less , hole - less , and clit - less speech sound that get all the way back in 2019 ? Yeah , it ’s the same Meizu .

The smartphone steel has now restricted itself to the Chinese market place despite seduce some amazing phones over the eld . I have partial retentivity of Flyme OS , and especially its gesture - driven , one - button software package port . Yes , there was some Apple inspiration to be see , but Meizu ’s earpiece in the MX - series and M - series offered terrific value for money . It was also the first stain that experimented with MediaTek ’s Helio X series processors and one of the only few companies that put one of Samsung ’s Exynos processors inside its phones .

Now , the real reason the Polestar Phone looks familiar is that it seems to be a rehash of the Meizu 21 Pro , a flagship still on sale in China . Th Polestar Phone sport a grandiloquent 6.79 - inch 120Hz OLED screen with symmetrically lean bezels and a 21:9 view ratio , following in the footsteps of Sony ’s Xperia phones .

Under the Methedrine casing is Qualcomm’sSnapdragon 8 Gen 3chip , pair with a levelheaded 16 GB of RAM and 1 TB of elevation storehouse . There ’s an optically steady 50 - megapixel camera at the back , sitting alongside a 13MP spacious - angle camera and a 10MP telephoto Chrysophrys auratus with 3x visual zoom output .

The IP68 - certify earphone offers a 5,050mAh bombardment that also supports 50 - James Watt wireless charging . An supersonic fingermark image scanner handles authentication . The only detectable difference here seems to be the fresh Polestar branding on the chicken feed shell and the metallic incline .

Polaris ’s Weibo C. W. Post also mentions that the phone has been develop in collaboration with the carmaker ’s team in Sweden and the Meizu group in China . Of course , there ’s inscrutable integration with the car ’s computer hardware and software baked at the heart of the Flyme OS running on the phone . More details about the sound and its asking price will be detail at an event afterwards this month , but do n’t let your hopes of buying one get too high , even though Polestar cars are sell in the U.S. market .

Now , it ’s prison term to keep hold off for the fabledTesla Phone .
