Gree's core mobile phone team has been disbanded, but mobile phone development continues

【PhoneAuto News】Recently, there were reports that Gree Electric has disbanded its core mobile phone team. In response, Gree Electric stated that the development of Gree phones is still ongoing.

According to PhoneAuto, a former employee who left last year revealed that the Gree mobile phone business was originally established in Zhuhai, and the core team was moved to Shenzhen around 2019. The Shenzhen team includes development, testing, and administrative personnel, with nearly 100 people at its peak. However, since last year, the Shenzhen team has gradually disbanded, with more than 40 people remaining by mid-2022, and “the Shenzhen team has completely disbanded, and they probably won’t make phones anymore,” the source said.
