The company that owns the TikTok now plans to make smart phones

The company that owns the TikTok is now preparing to make smart phones: ByteDance has confirmed that it plans to make smart phones.

This phone will make Chinese phone maker Project Smarties. Byte Dance has obtained patents for designing and staffing phones from SmartZone.

According to a Chinese financial news publication, Smartisan executive Wu Dezhou is leading the project.

This project was started 7 months ago.

The phone is expected to be made only for Chinese consumers as Smartisan is a local and small company in China. The launch of the phone indicates the desire to expand the business of byte dance. Service and intelligence are also working on competition. Byte Dance is aware that it is competing with Bedu and Tencent, so entering the smartphone market will have more chances of survival.
