Probably many people have heard the news that Tesla is about to release a mobile phone. Rumor has it that Elon Musk is working on a smartphone called the Tesla Model π, which can connect to Starlink satellites and work on Mars.
Although the credibility of the message reached one in a million, it was still widely disseminated. Even, the appearance, configuration, price, release date, etc. of the phone are all exposed, and it looks just like the real thing.
Has Tesla announced this device? Or is it all fake news? We've put together almost everything we need to know about Tesla Model π smartphones.
01 Appearance: metal body, gradient coating
A poster of a Model π mobile phone shows the appearance of this mobile phone, the mobile phone as a whole is wrapped in metal, it seems to use an integrated metal body, very futuristic technology texture. The camera module is the biggest highlight in appearance, the rear quad lens, but the lens is not raised, from this point alone, the Model π has been ahead of all the mobile phones on the market now.
Another image shows that the Metal Body of the Model π has a special coating, which, unlike a normal gradient backplane, is able to change color according to changes in the environment. However, this is not surprising, similar processes must be familiar to everyone, in the vivo S10 Pro back cover we have seen.
02 Configuration: Snapdragon 8 + 2TB storage
The copywriter on the mobile phone poster said that this is an "unusual mobile phone", but from the information that came out, the mobile phone configuration is indeed quite general. Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 next-generation chip, 2TB of storage, and a Super AMOLED display.
It seems that the homogenization problem faced by the mobile phone industry cannot be solved by Tesla's entry. This actually reflects that everyone's imagination of mobile phones is generally not high, even if they create fake news, they are not high enough.
03 Function: Get into the human brain, get on Mars
It is rumored that Model π will cooperate with Musk's brain-computer interface company Neuralink, and the mobile phone can connect with the brain-computer interface chip and be able to work.
This year, Neuralink, a brain-computer interface company, successfully taught a monkey to play games with "ideas." So, after using the Model π, will I get my hands on the "five kills"?
Although satellite phones have long been available, the Model π will be the first satellite phone for the general public, and anyone can buy it. Multiple reports say the Model π may have an antenna connected to the Starlink Starlink satellite, which allows it to work on Mars. Others claim that its download speed will reach 210Mbps.
Rumors have it that the Model π will be released at the end of 2021, later postponed to 2022, and will be priced between $2500 and $4000.
Where did the rumors of the 04 Model π come from?
Although everyone has heard rumors of model π, Tesla has not released a single official news. Model π is full of black technology, is the official "holding back the big move"?
Of course not, after a painstaking search, we found that most of the pictures about model π have a signed name "Antonio De Rosa". For netizens familiar with this name, the truth has come out.
Antonio De Rosa is an Italian graphic designer and a tech influencer. Many people do not know him, but must have seen his works.
This design drawing of Apple AR glasses that has recently been popular.
Another example is the Apple folding screen iPhone X Fold mentioned in many reports, and the iPhone of the M1 chip.
Antonio De Rosa often makes renderings of some mobile phone products based on the information he has, and will also design his own whimsical ideas, because of his superb craftsmanship and excellent drawing, he has helped many netizens to get enough eye addiction and gain a lot of attention.
The information about the Model π comes from him. He is a Tesla fan himself and designed a Tesla phone based on personal understanding. He uploaded a concept video of the phone to his YouTube channel, and the news that Tesla is going to release the phone spread.
However, everyone ignored his notes while eating melons. For example, he introduced the video with the clear words "My idea of a Tesla Smartphone as I understand it."
In the lower left corner of each Model π poster, he also reads: The picture is a tribute to Tesla and its products. It has nothing to do with Tesla.
However, the news is related to Tesla.
