The phone is available only in China at the moment, and it packs flagship-grade specifications.

Specifications

Screen: 6.39-inch full HD+ AMOLED display

Processor : Qualcomm Snapdragon 855+

RAM: 8/12GB

Rear camera: 48-megapixel primary sensor + 13-megapixel wide-angle + 8-megapixel telephoto + 5-megapixel macro lens

Front camera: 20-megapixel

Battery: 4,000 mAh

Software: Smartisan OS 7 (It’s unclear if this is based on Android, or actually a full Chinese fork of the Android OS – we’ll update this post once we learn more)

You can directly open TikTok’s Chinese version, DouYin, by just swiping up from the lock screen. Given the app’s popularity in India , I bet a lot of people in the country wouldn’t mind this kind of integration either.

At this moment, we don’t know if the company is planning to release the phone anywhere else. We’ve asked Bytedance for more details, and we’ll update the story if we hear back.
