Weilai's first mobile phone will be positioned at the high end, and the team size has exceeded 300 people. Although Weilai officials have not announced the current progress of mobile phones, it is not difficult to see that Weilai Automobile is constantly recruiting for the mobile phone business. Weilai's first mobile phone will be positioned at the high end, and the team size has exceeded 300 people.

Weilai's first mobile phone will be positioned at the high end, and the team size has exceeded 300 people. Cnevpost revealed the new cross-border development of Weilai, a well-known new energy automobile manufacturer. It is reported that Weilai's first smart phone will be high-end and equipped with the second generation Snapdragon 8 mobile platform.

Although it is nothing new for technology companies to expand new business maps across borders, most consumers said that they did not understand the rapid development of new energy automobile manufacturers entering the mature smart phone field across borders. Previously, Weilai, a new energy automobile manufacturer, registered Weilai Mobile Technology Co., Ltd. and announced its entry into the field of smart phones. In the plan of Li Bin, chairman of Weilai Automobile, Weilai will launch a flagship mobile phone every year, just like Apple.

According to the latest news, Weilai's first smartphone will basically be equipped with the second generation Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 mobile platform. Judging from the appearance time of this chip, Weilai's mobile phone will be released at the end of this year at the earliest.

I have to say that the current high-end smartphone market does lack surprises. Since Huawei stopped participating in the high-end smartphone competition due to "force majeure", Apple has almost no rivals at this level. Even though the overall performance of the consumer electronics market is not good this year, the iPhone 13 series still achieved an ultra-high sales volume of nearly 3 million units in the 6 18 shopping festival, which shows that there are not many products available for high-end smartphones.

Of course, Weilai's goals and ideas for making mobile phones are also quite clear. Li Bin once mentioned a data. In the past, 50% of Weilai car users used Apple phones and 40% used Huawei phones. After Huawei withdrew from the high-end market, the proportion of Apple mobile phone users further increased. Although Huawei's flagship Mate 40 series is still excellent in experience, electronic products will eventually be eliminated over time. What Weilai wants to do is to undertake the remaining users of the Mate 40 series during the replacement period.

In fact, it may not be as simple as imagined that Wei Lai wants to "step into the sky". After all, no manufacturer does not want to share the "big cake" of the high-end smartphone market. Since last year, OPPO, vivo, and Xiaomi have all been vigorously hitting the high end. Among them, Xiaomi has been one step ahead of friends through cooperation with Leica, and the next "high-end war" will only be more intense.

From the configuration parameters, in addition to the blessing of the second-generation Snapdragon 8 mobile platform, Weilai mobile phone will also be equipped with 2K screen and 25-minute fast charge, but these configurations are not enough to be recognized as high-end. I don't know what surprises Weilai intends to prepare for this smart phone that is enough to board the high-end market.

Weilai's first mobile phone will be positioned at the high end, and the team size has exceeded 300 people. Two days ago, it was rumored that Weilai's first mobile phone would be positioned at the high end and equipped with Qualcomm's second-generation Snapdragon 8 mobile platform. In terms of price, the starting price of this mobile phone may exceed 5,000 yuan and the highest can reach 7,000 yuan. In this regard, Li Bin, chairman of Weilai Automobile, responded to the media and said, "This should be the definition given to us by other people's imagination. At present, in the mobile phone business, we still have to' work hard' and there is nothing more to disclose. "

According to Tianyancha App, Weilai Mobile Technology Co., Ltd. was established, with legal representative Qin and registered capital of 654.38 billion US dollars. Its business scope includes information system integration services. Research and development of mechanical equipment; Mobile terminal equipment sales; Development of artificial intelligence application software; Sales of communication equipment; Wearable smart device sales; Intelligent vehicle equipment sales, etc. According to shareholder information, the company is wholly owned by NIO NEXTEV LIMITED.

Although Weilai officials have not announced the current progress of mobile phones, it is not difficult to see from the news revealed by industry channels that Weilai Automobile is constantly recruiting for the mobile phone business. The recruitment website shows that Weilai has released a large number of positions related to the mobile phone business, including camera App development engineer, Android engineer and smart watch product manager.

I learned from several independent sources that Yi Wei, the former senior vice president of Meitu Mobile, has joined Weilai Mobile as the head of the software department. A source said that it is easy to "see the specific (ranking) in Weilai, only the code name". It is understood that the Weilai mobile phone team has more than 300 people, and some employees are from OPPO, Meitu and Huawei.

As early as March this year, it was reported that Weilai would enter the mobile phone market. At that time, Li Bin said that Weilai's mobile phone was still under investigation, and Weilai, which had little to do with cars, would definitely not study it. Wearable and movable things should be well studied.

On July 28th, Li Bin said in an interview that Weilai would build a good mobile phone for users like Apple and develop one every year.

Weilai's first mobile phone will be positioned at the high end, and the team size has exceeded 300 people. Weilai, which has clearly entered the mobile phone industry, is forming a new team. According to industry sources, Yi Wei, the former senior vice president of Meitu Mobile, joined the Weilai Mobile team as the head of the software department. According to relevant sources, Wei Lai "can't see the specific (ranking) in Wei Lai, only the code name. Weilai has a mobile phone team of more than 300 people, and the employee background includes mobile phone companies such as OPPO, Meitu and Huawei.

Previously, according to Tianyan survey, Weilai Mobile Technology Co., Ltd. was established on August 4 with a registered capital of 654.38 billion US dollars. The legal representative is Qin, co-founder and president of Weilai, and its business scope includes mobile terminal equipment sales, artificial intelligence application software development, artificial intelligence hardware sales and communication equipment sales.

@ Toner says the battery is not fat. Weibo, the content has been blocked

Earlier, according to the news that Weibo @ Toner said that the battery was not fat 3 1, Changzhou talked about Li Bin. Weilai mobile phone will be a straight trigger, not a folding screen or a curved screen. The fuselage is the same color as the fuselage, and there is only one flagship product. The price is more than 7000, and it will be listed one year later.

At present, smartphones in China are at a low ebb. According to the statistics of Strategy Analytics, in Q2 of 2022, the shipment of smartphones in China was only 67.7 million units, down 14% year-on-year.

Previously, the Jixing era of Geely Holding realized 79.09% control of Meizu Technology on July 4, and the new mobile phone will be released in the first quarter of 2023, with a price of more than 6,000 yuan.

In April this year, Li Bin, founder, chairman and CEO of Weilai, said that the mobile phone is the most important device for Weilai users to connect vehicles. However, because Apple is very closed to the automobile industry and does not open interfaces such as UWB, Weilai is very passive. In order to ensure users' interest and experience, Weilai will study mobile phones and smart terminal devices centered on cars.

Titanium Media App believes that Weilai chose to enter the game at the low point of the smartphone. Although there are new business needs, they are more defensive.

In the visible time, smart phone is likely to become the only key and interface of smart car, but the current smart car industry has little control over this key. Except Huawei and OPPO Tucki, the interaction between smart car manufacturers and smart phones is almost limited to their own apps, which can't achieve real ecological interoperability and chemical reaction.

Today, Apple's market value has exceeded 2.66 trillion yuan. Although the wolf who built the car has been shouting for many years, if it is really realized one day, the iPhone's support for smart cars from other manufacturers must be reserved. By then, all smart car manufacturers will face the disadvantage of losing their entrances.
