Smartisan Nut R1 Got Price Cut Again, Becoming The Cheapest Flagship

Hammer Technology is not living its best days. Last year, many smartphone users were thinking the Smartisan series smartphones will make a tough competition for the top brands in 2019. But until today, we haven’t heard about a new smartphone from this line. The last model coming our way from Hammer is considered to be the Smartisan Nut R1. Today, the company announced about a new price cut of 200 yuan ($29). Seems this is a little price off when compared with other models. But let’s take a look at this from another angle. Originally, the Nut R1 was priced at 3999 yuan ($580). Now, this phone costs 1999 yuan ($290). Thus, in a year, the phone got a price cut of 2000 yuan ($290).

The Smartisan Nut R1 is the flagship product launched by Hammer Technology in 2018 and is the most powerful smartphone of the company to date. It is packed with quite powerful hardware and provides outstanding performance.
