Smartron 1.0  ·  2014 – 2024

Phones. Laptops. Bands. E-bikes.
A connected home.
One platform — tronX.

Designed and engineered in-house, Smartron’s journey began in 2014 with engineering at its core and a vision far ahead of its time. The journey paused in 2024, but the work remains.

This site is a record of what we built, the technology we pioneered, and the vision that drove it.

The platform

We called it tronX. In 2017.

Nearly a decade before every device maker began talking about an intelligence layer, Smartron unveiled tronX — announced at the time as a first-of-its-kind AI-powered IoT platform.

It was never meant to sit on one product. tronX ran underneath the phones, the band and the home, and was opened to other makers under a “powered by tronX” programme: one account, one app, one layer of intelligence across everything on the shelf.
