Nio (NYSE: NIO) will host its first innovation day event two days later, where the company will present its technology layouts and is expected to unveil its first smartphone model.
Nio will hold the Nio IN 2023 event in Shanghai on September 21, starting at 9 am, where it will present the company's full-stack technology layout for the first time and will unveil a new mobile internet product, it announced today.
The electric vehicle (EV) maker did not specify, but the mobile internet product is supposed to be its first smartphone model.
Nio co-founder and president Qin Lihong mentioned on September 4 that the company would launch its first phone on September 21.
On September 15, Nio launched the new EC6 in an event that lasted less than 16 minutes, and a phone appeared multiple times in the first 50 seconds, raising suspicions that this could be its upcoming first phone model.
Nio IN 2023 will be Nio's first innovation day event, with the company's previous annual events including the flagship Nio Day, as well as Nio Power Day, which introduces its power system.
Nio has confirmed that this year's Nio Day will be held in Xi'an, Shaanxi province in northwest China. Qin said earlier this month that Nio Day 2023 is tentatively scheduled for December 23.
