Smartisan fans are well aware of the brand's vicissitudes, the arrival of the crisis (even if always strongly denied by the CEO) and salvation thanks to ByteDance, home of TikTok. In spite of any problem, we found ourselves faced with highly respectable devices, with an original look and software worthy of the name. Latest product launched by Smartisan is the "Smartisan Nut R2".
Less numbers than Meizu!
Apparently all this and the help of a social giant were not enough to save Smartisan from the abyss: in the past few hours, in fact, ByteDance announced the closure of the smartphone division. ByteDance closes Smartisan Mobile: here's what changes from now on ByteDance closes Smartisan Unfortunately, a few months after the arrival of the top of the range R2 and the 8.0 version of its UI, Smartisan did not make it.
According to what was reported by the Chinese media, ByteDance would have pulled the plug of the mobile division as early as January 13: the company that owns TikTok would have already absorbed the Smartisan research and development team in its hardware team. Precisely this is the team dedicated to educational hardware ("Education" sector), led by the founder of Musical-ly Yang Luyu. According to what was reconstructed by the Asian newspaper ITHome, Smartisan sales would not have been satisfactory; the same brand would not have met the hoped-for success. Furthermore, it seems that there are also problems of a logistic nature: ByteDance would not have the productive power of Xiaomi, OPPO and vivo on its side, with much higher production costs than these realities.
ByteDance closes Smartisan Product Manager Zhu Haizhou also intervened in all this, through a post on Weibo and comments, who specified some details. Obviously the after-sales services, assistance and software maintenance of the system will continue and the current owners of a Smartisan-branded smartphone can sleep peacefully.
