TikTok owner ByteDance has created a smartphone for the viral video generation

ByteDance, the owner of zany social media app TikTok, has released a smartphone that’s been purpose-built for those young rascals who spend their days sumberged in TikTok‘s vast ocean of viral lip-sync videos. Christened the Smartisan Jianguo Pro 3, the Chinese mid-ranger sports four rear cameras, including a 48MP main camera and 13MP ultra-wide lens, a 6.39in AMOLED display, 8GB of RAM and 128GB of storage as standard, a Snapdragon 855 processor, and even an in-screen fingerprint scanner. Although there’s no word on whether the handset will eventually saunter over to the West, you can pick it up for around £320 if you fancy shipping one over from China in an attempt to ‘go viral’.

About

I’m a freelance games and technology journalist currently mashing my keyboard in the name of fine institutions like Stuff, where you'll usually find me waxing lyrical about the latest mobile morsels. I've also been known to cook up some decidedly delicious reviews from time to time, and was once dubbed 'the games industry's answer to Nigella Lawson' by someone probably somewhere.
