    Nio Phone 2 with AI Features Launches Officially on July 27

    Nio’s Vice President Bai Jian has officially revealed the launch of the much-awaited second-generation smartphone, the Nio Phone 2, slated for July 27th during the Nio Innovation and Technology Day. This new device promises notable improvements, such as the integration of large AI models, better system fluidity, and deeper connectivity with Nio’s electric vehicle ecosystem.

    Nio Phone

    The Nio Phone 2 is designed to deliver a smooth and convenient driving experience by enabling users to control various car functions directly through their phones. These functions include unlocking and locking the car, starting the vehicle, adjusting settings, and accessing the car’s infotainment system. The phone’s AI integration will enhance its capabilities, facilitating smarter interactions and potentially more advanced applications down the line.

    Powered by Qualcomm’s latest Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 chip, the Nio Phone 2 is expected to significantly enhance its AI and computational power. There’s a possibility that the phone will come with an overclocked version of the Snapdragon Gen 3, which will not only boost overall performance but also support more demanding applications and features.

    Specifications

    Recently, the phone was spotted on China’s 3C certification platform. The device is anticipated to come with a 5000mAh battery and a 100W charger, though the exact fast charging capability is still unclear at this time.

    Nio’s move into the smartphone market is perceived as a defensive strategy in response to Huawei and Xiaomi’s foray into the electric car sector. By developing a phone that deeply integrates with its vehicles, Nio aims to offer a distinct and superior user experience for its customers, distinguishing itself from competitors.

    Reflecting on Nio’s smartphone journey, the company introduced its first phone, the Nio Phone, in September 2023. This initial model featured an overclocked 3.36GHz Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 chipset, a 6.81-inch 2K AMOLED display with a 120Hz refresh rate, a triple camera system with a 50MP main sensor, and a 5,200mAh battery.

  • Nio Phone 2 Spotted on 3C, Launching Soon with 100W Charger

    Nio Phone 2 Spotted on 3C, Launching Soon with 100W Charger

    In September 2023, China’s Nio, widely recognized for its electric vehicles, introduced its first smartphone, the Nio Phone, in its domestic market. Earlier this year, the company’s CEO, William Li, announced that the development of the Nio Phone 2 had reportedly begun. He also mentioned the company’s intention to release a new phone annually. The Nio Phone 2 is expected to be launched soon, as it has seemingly received approval from China’s 3C certification body.

    Nio Phone 2 3C Certification

    Prior to its release, the initial Nio Phone, identified by model number N2301, appeared on the 3C certification platform and came with a 100W charger. However, the device only supports 66W wired charging and 50W wireless charging.

    New Nio Phone Spotted

    Recently, the 3C database listed a new Nio smartphone with model number N2401, also accompanied by a 100W charger. This could potentially be the forthcoming Nio Phone 2. Despite the 100W charger being mentioned, it remains uncertain whether the phone will support 100W charging or will continue with 66W charging like its predecessor.

    Nio Phone 2 Battery

    In May, a Nio battery with model number NBET02 and a rated capacity of 4,900mAh was identified at the 3C certification. This battery, likely to have a typical value of 5,000mAh, is expected to power the Nio Phone 2. To recall, the Nio Phone appeared in the 3C database in September and was officially launched in the same month. Therefore, it is plausible that the Nio Phone 2 might be unveiled later this month or in August.

    Nio’s move to venture into smartphones is seen as a defensive strategy against Huawei and Xiaomi’s entry into the electric car market. The Nio Phone is designed to function as a comprehensive car key, enabling owners to unlock, lock, and start their vehicles using the phone, even when it’s turned off. It also offers extensive vehicle control, allowing users to adjust settings such as air conditioning, seats, and music directly from their phone. Additionally, the phone integrates seamlessly with the car’s infotainment system, offering features like automatic syncing of music and contacts, and smooth transitions of video meetings between devices.

    The Nio Phone boasts an overclocked 3.36GHz Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 chipset, a 6.81-inch AMOLED 2K 120Hz display, a 50-megapixel triple camera setup, and a 5,200mAh battery. There is a possibility that the Nio phone may be equipped with an overclocked version of the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3.
