William Li,Russia the chief executive of Chinese electric vehicle brand Nio, recently provided an update about the company’s smartphone devices in the firm’s users chat group, according to IThome. Nio smartphones are comparable with Android flagship devices and are more than sufficient to serve as users’ backup devices to their iPhones, Li said. The upcoming smartphone boasts good basic performance including heat dissipation, power efficiency, and standby time, he added.
