Early this year, ByteDance announced it was shutting down Smartisan, the Chinese smartphone brand. The last phone announced by the company is the Smartisan Nut R2, and if you don’t mind buying a phone from a brand that no longer exists, then it should excite you to know that the 2020 flagship will be on sale for the 618 festival.
A Weibo post by the official Smartisan account has revealed that the Nut R2 will be discounted by as much as ¥800 (~$125) starting tomorrow. There is also a free 65W GaN charger, a 30-day worry-free return, and a 12-month warranty.
Starting tomorrow, interested buyers will be able to grab the phone on the official Smartisan store on JD.com. The promotion runs until June 3. Below are the discounted prices for each available configuration:
- 8GB RAM + 256GB (Black) = ¥2499 (~$392)
- 8GB RAM + 256GB (Green) = ¥2499 (~$408)
- 12GB RAM + 256GB (Black) = ¥2899 (~$455)
- 16GB RAM + 512GB (Limited White Edition) = ¥4899 (~$769)
The Smartisan Nut R2 has a 6.67-inch 90Hz FHD+ curved AMOLED display. There is a punch hole in the screen that is home to a 20MP camera. Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 865 powers the phone and it draws juice from a 4510mAh battery with support for 55W fast charging.
There are four cameras on the back of the phone – a 108MP primary sensor, an 8MP telephoto camera, a 13MP ultrawide angle camera, and a 5MP macro camera. The Nut R2 has 3x optical zoom and up to 30x hybrid zoom. It can also record time-lapse videos in 8K. Other features are stereo speakers, DTS Audio, Wi-Fi 6, NFC, and a fingerprint scanner.
Following the announcement that the company will no longer manufacture phones, Smartisan has assured customers that current devices will continue to be maintained and its Smartisan OS will get new features.
