Swedish electric car maker Polestar has announced its entry into the smartphone market with its first smartphone, the Polestar Phone, launching in December.
The design of the phone has been teased in a short video, which shows a device with flat frames and vertically stacked cameras at the back, reminiscent of the Meizu 20 series. Polestar announced its plans to launch a Meizu-made smartphone back in September, so this design is not a surprise.
Each camera ring has its focal length and aperture size labeled. It shows a 23mm equivalent main camera with an f/1.9 aperture, a 70mm telephoto lens with an f/2.0 aperture, and a 15mm ultrawide lens with an f/2.4 aperture.
On the front, the phone has a punch hole cutout for the selfie camera. The sides feature Polestar branding while the back has the company logo.
As a car manufacturer, Polestar is likely to focus on seamless connectivity between its cars and phones. However, the exact details of this integration are not yet known.
Meizu, which is owned by the same parent company as Polestar, has its own Flyme Auto car software. However, reports from China suggest that the Polestar Phone may offer a Polestar OS interface, which is likely developed in collaboration with Meizu.
Polestar has not yet revealed any specifications for the phone, but it is rumored to be powered by Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 chip. We’ll have to wait for the official announcement for more details on the device.
