A minimalistic matching phone for your Polestar 2

Polestar is known for its high-performance electric vehicles and many concept gadgets have been inspired by the Swedish EV brand. There was a rumor of a Polestar phone right around the time of April’s Fool Day on the Polestar’s official website, and most took the bait announcing it as an official release by the brand.

What if Polestar decides to make a smartphone that’s embedded right into the brand’s ecosystem? A minimalistic and sleek smartphone that’s power-packed with the latest and greatest hardware for peak performance.

Car-branded phones are not a rarity as Lamborghini and Porsche Design have explored bringing their unique aesthetics to the modern man’s best friend. The Polestar Phone will follow suit as the perfect match for your Polestar 2 EV. According to Xiangrong, the motive is to combine the best of both worlds, having the perfect balance of form and function. The device comes with a triple camera setup including a 15mm, 23mm and 70mm shooter having focal lengths of 2.4, 1.9 and 2.08 respectively.

The smartphone has the signature Polestar all-white hue combined with silver inserts for an immaculate look. Whether the phone runs on stock Android or a Polestar-developed skin on top can only be speculated but I want them to go for a minimal interface just like the Nothing Phone. As I said, the phone will be closely integrated into the Polestar EV ecosystem with connected features including remote monitoring, AutoStart and safety features.

The Polestar logo on the back will look classy and you’ll need to invest in a transparent case to show off. If Polestar wants to foray into the consumer tech market only time will tell but it’s highly unlikely unless the EV maker wants to spread its claws in a highly competitive marketplace of smartphones.
