Exciting developments are taking place in the smartphone market. The competitors of brands such as Apple and Samsung, which have been operating in this field for years, are increasing day by day. Especially the famous automobile company NIO, which is preparing to enter the market with the NIO Phone to be introduced today, is one of them. Recent claims have been that another famous automobile brand will soon enter the market. An official statement on the subject came a short time ago.
Is Li Auto entering the smartphone market?
Li Auto, which stands out with its electric cars, has recently hired people who have previously worked in the smartphone industry. While this development was interpreted as the company preparing to enter the telephone business, the situation became clear with the official statement made recently.
Li Auto CEO Li Xiang said that the company has no plans to enter the smartphone market. Speaking about the company’s recruitment of names from the telephone market, Xiang stated that this is nothing new and that approximately 15 percent of the team hired by the brand in the last eight years came from this sector.
The starting point of these rumors can be shown as Li Auto’s hiring of iQOO’s former product manager Violet Song. As it is known, this name also worked at Huawei before. However, it seems that the company aims to use the talents of these names for technologies in automobiles rather than smartphones.
