It is quite common to find technology companies swapping from one area of interest to another. Xiaomi started as an internet company but it is now a major smartphone manufacturer. Google is an internet and software giant but it now has its own Pixel smartphones. Even manufacturing giants like Samsung and Apple did not start off as mobile phone companies. While Samsung’s first device was a television, Apple’s first product was a computer. Chinese manufacturers like Huawei and Xiaomi are now in the automobile industry. So, why won’t Tesla, an automobile company produce its own smartphones?
Actually, Tesla is working on its own smartphone and from the latest renders, it feels like a gaming smartphone. Recently, some renders of Tesla’s upcoming smartphone hit the web. The renders show the rear of this smartphone. The rear of this device has a sky-blue bar separating the larger blue bottom from the navy blue top. The sky blue bar hosts the regular Tesla “T”-like logo. Imagine Tesla’s logo on a smartphone, feels like a gaming device for me. However, Tesla’s first smartphone will probably not be a gaming device. Furthermore, on the top rear of this device, there are three horizontal openings probably for the camera sensors. This suggests that the device will use a triple rear camera setup. The rear camera design is not common but it is also not spectacular.
