According to media reports today, ByteDance announced internally on January 13 that it would merge the Xinshi laboratory established by the original Hammer Technology team into the educational hardware team led by the original founder of Musical.ly, Yang Luyu.
In the future, Yang Luyu will be responsible for the hardware team of Bytedance and report to Chen Lin, the senior vice president of Bytedance and head of education business.
There are also major adjustments in business. Bytedance’s hardware team will focus on the education field and will no longer develop products that are inherited from Hammer Technology such as nut mobile phones and TNT displays.
On October 20th last year, 442 days after the release of the previous generation product Nut Pro 2s, ByteDance held a new product launch conference. The hardware launched the Nut R2 mobile phone and the TNT go extension, and the software released Smartisan OS 8.0 and TNT. OS 2.0, and emphasizes that Nuts and Smartisan brands will continue to be retained, and will not be missed in the 5G era.
But now it seems that they will be the swan song of the original hammer team.
In January 2019, Bytedance acquired some patents of Hammer Technology to expand its business in the education field. At the same time, some employees of Hammer Technology joined Bytedance, which was reorganized into a new stone laboratory that year to develop smart phones, education hardware and other products.
