High-ranking officials at ByteDance are of the opinion that had the Smartisan phone initiative persisted, the yearly financial setbacks would have been contained, potentially preventing the company from finding itself in its current, somewhat vulnerable stance. In January 2019, ByteDance secured a selection of patents and assembled teams from Smartisan Technology, leading to the creation of New Stone Lab. Wu Dezhou, previously serving as the Vice President overseeing Product Lines and Hardware R&D at Smartisan, transitioned to ByteDance, assuming the role of President at New Stone Lab. Following this move, Wu Dezhou spearheaded the Smartisan team in unveiling models like the Smartisan Pro 3 and Smartisan R2.
