Geely’s brand Polestar is gearing up to expand its product portfolio and unveil its phone on Tuesday, April 16th. The smartphone is expected to start at 4,999 Yuan ($700) in China.
In June 2023, Polestar revealed a collaboration with Xingji Meizu to develop an operating system for Polestar cars sold in China, incorporating the latest smart technologies.
Meizu, owned by Geely chairman Li Shufu, is also the largest investor in Polestar. The phone has been confirmed to be a rebranded version of the Meizu 21 Pro manufactured by Li Shufu’s company.
Based on previous leaks of the Meizu 21 Pro, some of the specifications are a Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 processor, up to 16GB of RAM and 1TB of storage, a 6.79-inch 2K+ resolution 120Hz LTPO display, and a 4651mm² VC heat dissipation system.
The 21 Pro also offers features such as an ultrasonic in-display fingerprint sensor, an Aicy smart RGB-LED ring, an IR blaster, and dual speakers.
Polestar will report its first quarter financial results on May 23rd, before market open in New York.
The manufacturer reported last week the delivery of “approximately 7,200” electric vehicles in the first quarter, a 40 percent crash when compared to 2023. At the time, the manufacturer had delivered 12,000 units marking a yearly growth of 26 per cent.
Last week, the German Federal Motor Transport Authority (KBA) released the car registration data for March, revealing that the Swedish automaker Polestar registered 357 vehicles in the country.
Polestar achieved its highest sales figures since September 2023 and a total of 641 in the first quarter of the year. Despite this improvement, March’s figures still fall short of the manufacturer’s peak performance seen in June and July of last year, when it registered 950 and 1,052 vehicles, respectively.
