Several Chinese brands are working on next-generation flagship phones. These devices are expected to debut once MediaTek and Qualcomm announce their next-generation flagship chipsets, namely, the Dimensity 9400 and Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 in October. In a new Weibo post, tipster Digital Chat Station mentioned the names of the smartphones that will debut in October and November in China.
According to the leaker, Vivo and Oppo will announce the X200 series and the Find X8 series in October. Given the anticipated inclusion of the Dimensity 9400 chipset in these devices, it seems likely that MediaTek will reveal the new chip in early October. The Vivo X200 series is likely to feature the Vivo X200 Mini, X200, and X200 Pro, whereas the Find X8 lineup may include the Find X8 and X8 Pro.
The Xiaomi 15 and 15 Pro, featuring the Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 chipset, may debut soon after Vivo and Oppo announce their flagships. The Xiaomi 15 series will be followed by the OnePlus 13, which is also expected to feature the Snapdragon 8 Gen 4.
The iQOO 13 and Realme GT 7 Pro, powered by the SD8G4 chip, are expected to debut in the same timeframe. The Redmi K80 series also has the same launch timeline, according to the tipster. Speculation suggests that the GT 7 Pro could mark the debut of the SD8G4 outside of China. It is expected to launch in the global market by November or December this year.
The above-mentioned phones are expected to debut between October and November in China. Specifically, Honor and Huawei are expected to unveil their flagship phones in November. Honor is expected to announce the Snapdragon 8 Gen 4-powered Honor Magic 7 series, whereas Huawei will unveil the Mate 70 lineup with a new Kirin chip onboard.
