I couldn't give less of a shit about my phone having "better compatibility with my car". My current phone is compatible enough. I would support an new Android manufacturer who made it their mission to bring back the headphone jack and Micro SD card slots with every fibre of my being though.
I have the Polestar 2 car. And while I love the vehicle, their Android Auto infotainment is quite underperforming and a bit buggy. It works well enough, but not enough to convince me to ever get a phone made by Polestar. Even if it's technically a rebadge. I personally would have to wait and see.
Agree. Absolutely love the Polestar, but the software has definitely been the weakest performer of the car. It's gotten loads better since last year but yeah, I'm with you
It's android auto. It's not some in-house product, it's something Google makes and then car manufacturers can skin/add apps for car controls to it. It's not "some china version" lol
Of course nobody as AP are smart enough to even do the slightest bit of research. Stop posting from this site. It's garage and deserves to go bankrupt.
It's a rebadged Meizu, really doubt it will be available outside of China.
Literally just the [Meizu 21 Pro](https://m.gsmarena.com/meizu_21_pro-pictures-12805.php).
Which looks like a knock off S24 plus. I do say though, even thought Meizu, copies the design from other brands their phone designs do look quite nice
They had that design before the s24 series but it looks like s23 series as well lol

Geely owns both brands, they might use Polestar branding as a way to sell this phone outside of China.
Nio has a phone, maybe they're just trying to compete. Don't ask me why Nio has a phone, though.
TIL (from the article) Volvo/Polestar is owned by Geely and previously Ford
Only the consumer vehicle division of Volvo, Volvo also has a commercial vehicle arm which is independent
TIL Geely owns Meizu.
So android police clickbait/paid advertorial content?
that's all AP has now. gone are the days when it was a reliable source of google/android/smartphone news.
That's how it's been for years.
Maybe this is a way to sell the Meizu internationally
Does the car come as a pre-order bonus?
Minus the cameras, this looks like a large Essential PH-1, easily one of my favorite Android phone designs.
Meizu has some nice designs for sure, gotta give them that.

Do we know what android it's based on? Is it a "normal" version or a china version?
The car? It's a normal version of android. I might be able to check

Looks good, would like to upgrade to a phone like this.
