The Smartisan Nut Pro is now official. Unveiled at an event this evening in China, Smartisan’s new phone is a mid-ranger with a premium design.

Smartisan Nut Pro Design

Built from a mixture of metal and glass and available in carbon black, red wine, and a special edition called “Thin Red Line”, the Smartisan Nut Pro looks like a very sophisticated iPhone SE. The phone is just 6.98mm thick, weighs 158g but still manages to hold a 3500mAh battery.

The Nut Pro has dual rear cameras that sit at the top left corner and are spaced apart. Right in the middle of the phone is Smartisan’s logo and at the base is the manufacturer’s name. The base is in symmetry with the lower bezel in front that holds the physical home button. A simple but classy design.

Smartisan Nut Pro Specs

Available in 32GB, 64GB and 128GB storage options, the Smartisan Nut Pro varies in specification according to the storage capacity. All three have a 5.5-inch in-cell full HD display, 4GB of RAM, and dual 13MP rear cameras with f/2.0 aperture and PDAF. Where they vary is in the front facing camera, processor and some additional features.

The 32GB variant has an 8MP f/2.0 front camera while the 64GB and 128GB variants sport 16MP f/2.0 sensors. The 32GB is also powered by a Snapdragon 625 processor while the remaining two use the more recent Snapdragon 626. If you want NFC, you can only get that on the 128GB version.

The rest of the specs remain the same. There is a fingerprint scanner under the home button that can store up to ten different prints and also supports Alipay. The phone uses a dual hybrid SIM tray, supports dual band WiFi, and has Bluetooth 4.2. It also has a 3500mAh battery that supports Quick Charge 3.0.

Smartisan Nut Pro Price

The Smartisan Nut Pro starts at ¥1499 (~$217) for the 32GB version which is only available in carbon black; ¥1799 for the 64GB version (~$260) available in carbon black and red wine; and ¥2299 (~$333) for the 128GB version which is available in carbon black, red wine, and The Thin Red Line special edition.

Smartisan OS 3.6/3.7

The phone manufacturer also announced Smartisan 3.6/3.7, the latest iteration of its OS. Some of the new features include quick record which lets you take down voice notes by holding down the home button. It also supports optical character recognition (OCR) which lets you convert written text into machine encoded text. This will be useful when copying information from business cards, flyers and noticeboards.

Previous features such as One Step and Bing Bang (Smartisan’s version of Google Now on Tap) have also both been updated to version 1.5 and 2.0 respectively.

Smartisan has scheduled a press conference for tomorrow May 9, where the company is expected to announce its next smartphone believed to be named Smartisan Nut Pro. Ahead of tomorrow’s conference, images of the Nut Pro have appeared online showing us what the phone looks like.

What is likely the phone’s official product page containing the real photo of the machine is among the images that leaked. Tthe images show Smartisan is retaining the design language used on previous Smartisan phones. The images also reveal the Smartisan phone will come with a front physical home button. It is billed to be a mid-range smartphone so you really shouldn’t be surprised about the bezels at the sides and the large ones at the bottom and top aspect o the display. That doesn’t take away the prospect of this being a beautiful mid-ranger, though.

Although nothing was mentioned of the likely specs of the device, earlier rumours had tipped the Smartisan Nut Pro to pack a Snapdragon 626 processor backed by 4GB of RAM. The device may likely have two storage versions of 32GB and 64GB respectively. The Nut Pro possesses all the features of a decent mid-ranger including a 13MP rear camera as well as 4MP selfie shooter. There is also the Android 7.1.1 Nougat OS providing the interface.

For the past couple of months, two Smartisan smartphones have made the rounds, first receiving 3C certificates, then appearing on TENAA and finally on AnTuTu benchmark. The devices were identified as OD103 and OD105 on TENAA. Also, Smartisan recently announced that they would be holding a launch event on May 9, 2017, in China. The device expected to launch has been identified as the Smartisan Nut Pro.

The Smartisan Nut Pro is said to pack a Snapdragon 626 processor backed by 4GB of RAM. The device may likely have two storage versions of 32GB and 64GB respectively. The Nut Pro possesses all the features of a decen mid-ranger including a 13MP rear camera as well as 4MP selfie shooter. There is also the Android 7.1.1 Nougat OS providing the interface.

While the specifications are not new, what’s new is that Smartisan may likely include some level of optimization on the device. The latest teaser poster shared by the company gives this impression. The poster talked about mobile phone chips coming in faster than 310% over the years but the phones don’t perform faster than 13%. While the poster is just meant as a countdown to the launch event, it could also contain some clue that Smartisan is planning to surprise us with some features other than those offered by the decent Snapdragon 626 chipset.
