At the launch event of the Smartisan Nut Pro 2S smartphone, Smartisan also announced the new Smartisan OS 6.6.5 update which comes with 41 new features. The newly unveiled Nut Pro 2S runs on the new Smartisan OS 6.6.5 which comes with three major Infinite such as Infinite Screen, TNT Workstation and Bullet SMS.

Infinite Screen

Infinite Screen brings a new kind of VR driven gesture-based navigation on Nut Pro 2S in which all the pages appear as if they are tiled in the space and users are just required to move the Smartisan phone in appropriate direction to switch to that page. Here is a video that showcases the experience of navigating through the world of unlimited screens.

In the above video, it can be seen that Infinite Screen offers an unlimited space of maps on which the users are required to move their phones to browse through them to carry out certain functions. Few seconds in the video, a girl can be seen snapping a selfie by simply lifting up the phone and accessing the camera app without using her fingers. After shooting a selfie, she moves the phone to the right to access the messaging app in order to send the snapped photo to her contact without even touching on the screen once.

Smartisan has partnered with a number of manufactures to develop Infinite Screen. For example, Face++ provides technical support for human eye tracking and Gaudi Maps has customized map functions for its depth.

The whole idea behind introducing Infinite Screen is to minimize the movement of the fingers on the phone. Since the function requires OS optimization along with the usage of backend hardware to load all the nearby tiles/pages in real-time, it remains to be seen how it will work in reality. Moreover, since users must move along with the phone in the so-called “infinite” world while using Infinite Screen, there is a risk of accidentally hitting people that are standing near.

TNT Workstation

TNT Workstation feature was first announced at the launch of Nut R1 flagship phone few months ago. Smartisan CEO Lao Luo did not demonstrate the TNT workstation feature that allow users to take advantage of full-fledged desktop experience by connecting the phone to a larger display. He only confirmed that apart from Smartisan Nut R1, the Nut Pro 2S will support TNT Workstation.

Bullet SMS

Bullet SMS is a fast and convenient chat software that supports voices and text messages. Since it is available through global fall function, it can be accessed through any screen without entering the app. It brings three kinds of messaging options such as voice + text, pure voice and plain text. When voice + text is selected, it will be able to recognize and convert voice into text. Smartisan claims that the voice recognition rate is as high as 97 percent.

Around three months ago, Smartisan had launched the Snapdragon 845 powered Smartisan R1 phone in China. The handset was recently spotted in the top 10 list of best performing Android smartphones by AnTuTu for the month of July. Recent reports have claimed that the Chinese manufacturer is now working on an upper mid-range phone called Smartisan Nut Pro 2S that will be fueled by Snapdragon 710. The rumor mill has also revealed that the Nut Pro 2S has a model number of OE106. The same smartphone has today appeared on Chinese benchmarking platform Master Lu to reveal some of its key specs.

As it can be seen in the image below, the appearance of the Smartisan Nut Pro 2S on Master Lu has revealed that its display will carry support for Full HD+ resolution of 2160 x 1080 pixels. This suggests that it will be sporting a notch-less screen that will produce 18:9 aspect ratio. The Snapdragon 710 SoC is present under the hood of the smartphone along with 6 GB of RAM. It is recorded an overall score of 155,053 on Master Lu benchmarks.

There is a successor on the way for the Smartisan Nut Pro 2 but it won’t be called the Nut Pro 3. A new leak has surfaced and it reveals the successor will be called the Nut Pro 2S.

The leak is a bunch of live photos of the retail box of the upcoming phone. Apart from revealing the name of the device, it also shows some of its specs.

The photos reveal Smartisan’s mid-ranger will come with a Snapdragon 710 processor. This is the same chipset powering the Mi 8 SE and the Vivo NEX A. Apart from that, the Smartisan Nut Pro 2S will also have dual rear cameras. The configuration on the box shows a 12MP + 5MP configuration. It will also have a 16MP selfie camera.

The Nut Pro 2S will run Smartisan OS which is based on Android but the manufacturer has failed to reveal what version it is based on. Nevertheless, we don’t expect it to come with anything older than Android Oreo.

The Nut Pro 2S should launch soon as it already got its 3C certification last month. Yes, the model number on the box “OE106” is the same as that of the phone that got certified a few weeks ago. The certification shows the phone will support 18W fast charging.

With respect to other specs, Smartisan will most likely launch the phone with an 18:9 display. The Smartisan R1 is its only phone with a notch and it shares a design similar to that of the Essential PH-1, so there is a chance the Nut Pro 2S may have one too. We also expect it to launch in multiple storage variants with RAM reaching 6GB and storage maxing out at 256GB.
