NIO already has a smartphone division working on its first phone, its CEO now confirms that they will launch a mobile phone every year and that they want added value to convince their customers, not just an attractive price.
The CEO of NIO has already foreseen that they intend to create and market just one smartphone annually. Much like how Apple launched the iPhone and Google launched the Nexus. However, they have already stated explicitly that “we cannot expect comparisons with manufacturers of smartphones that sell more than 100 million units each year”.

Chinese experts claim that the NIO Phone will be available later this year. Most likely around the end of the summer. Additionally, they believe that the NIO leadership will keep the pricing below $1,000 in order to increase its all around attractivness.
