For a lot of people, February and September are the most important months of the year when it comes to the mobile sector. During this month, Apple and Huawei (which are the third and the second smartphone brands in the global market, respectively) usually unveil their most powerful flagship phones of the year. And there are also many other manufacturers coming up with new handsets.
That is why you may find this article very interesting: it lists all the most important upcoming smartphones in September 2019. The list does not include the several devices unveiled at IFA 2019: for those, we send you to our dedicated IFA 2019 page. Here, you will find the rest of the phones we know will be officially announced on September 2019.
Top upcoming phones of September 2019
Huawei Mate 30
After unveiling two new color variants of the P30 Pro which will probably ship with EMUI 10 based on Android 10 out of the box, Huawei will take the wraps off the Mate 30 series on September 19. The line-up will include the Huawei Mate 30 and the Mate 30 Pro, alongside the 5G version. They will be powered by the new Kirin 990 unveiled a few days ago which will be the first chipset to hit the market with an integrated 5G modem. The rear camera sensors will be housed inside a circular module known as “Oreo” module on the back, and they will include two 40 MP sensors. The Mate 30 series will ship without Google apps and it will adopt third-party alternatives available on a custom version of Android 10 due to issues coming from the U.S. ban.
OnePlus 7T and 7T Pro
Despite its devices will launch in the final part of the month, let’s not forget about the OnePlus 7T line-up. They will debut in India on September 26 while they will come in the U.S. and Europe in October. The series is supposed to include three models: OnePlus 7T, OnePlus 7T Pro and OnePlus 7T Pro McLaren Edition. The first will sport a 6.55-inch flat display with a 90 Hz refresh ratio and a Full HD+ resolution. It will be powered by the Snapdragon 855+ chipset paired with 8 GB of RAM and 128 GB of internal storage in its base version, while the rear side will house three cameras in a circular module including a 48 MP main sensor, an ultrawide 16 MP sensor and a 12 MP telephoto lens with 2x optical zoom. The battery will have a 3800 mAh capacity and it will support Warp Charge 30T, while the operating system will be Android 10 out of the box. OnePlus 7T Pro and 7T Pro McLaren Edition will sport a 6.67-inch curved display with a 2K resolution and still a 90 Hz refresh ratio. The processor will be the same but memory configurations will start from 8 GB of RAM and 256 GB of internal storage. The camera placement will be different and the rear side will house three cameras including an ultrawide sensor and a telephoto lens with 3x optical zoom. There will also be a big 4085 mAh battery.
Apple iPhone 11, 11 Pro and 11 Pro Max
Apple is ready to unveil the successors of iPhone Xs, Xs Max, and XR: even this year there will be three models, including a more affordable variant. Their names will be iPhone 11, iPhone 11 Pro and iPhone 11 Pro Max, and they will be official tomorrow, on September 10. The display sizes will remain the same as their predecessors: 6.1, 5.8 and 6.5 inches respectively. But there will be an important addition on the Pro variants: they will both support the Apple Pencil just like iPad Pro. All the phones will be equipped with an Apple A13 built by TSMC on a 7 nm+ process and paired with 4 or 6 GB of RAM depending on the model. There will be no 5G, but there is Wi-Fi 6. iPhone 11 Pro and 11 Pro Max will sport a triple camera setup, while the vanilla iPhone 11 will have just two cameras.
Xiaomi Mi Mix 4
According to a cryptic post on the microblogging platform Weibo and leakers, Xiaomi Mi Mix 4 will be officially announced on September 24, and it will obviously have a 5G variant. Leaked specifications confirmed that the phone will come with a 2K display and a full ceramic body. It is supposed to be powered by the Snapdragon 855+ chipset paired with up to 12 GB of RAM and 1 TB of internal storage. It seems that it will also be the first Xiaomi phone with a 100 MP rear camera using the sensor recently unveiled by Samsung. And it is also rumored to come with 40W fast-charging. Alongside the Mi Mix 4, Xiaomi might launch the Xiaomi Mi 9 Pro 5G, the first phone with a 30W wireless charging technology.
Vivo NEX 3
The official launch date of the Vivo NEX 3 is September 16. If we exclude the gaming phones from the iQOO series, Vivo did not release any flagship this year, so this is a very awaited moment. Vivo NEX 3 will come with an amazing design including a notch-less display with very thin bezels, as well as the 5G connectivity. The rear camera module will be round-shaped and it will include three sensors, while on the front there will be a pop-up camera. The device will boast a 6.89-inch AMOLED display with a Full HD+ resolution and an integrated biometric sensor. And give that it will support 5G, you probably understood that it will be powered by the Snapdragon 855+ chipset. The main sensor of the rear camera is said to have a 64 MP resolution, while the battery is supposed to carry a 4500 mAh capacity and the support to 44W fast charging.
Samsung Galaxy Fold
After delaying it for several months, Samsung finally launched the Galaxy Fold in its homeland: South Korea. The foldable smartphone is finally ready for the market with a few tweaks done in order to make the display more resistant. The Galaxy Fold is going to hit some European countries including the UK on September 18. Its listing price will probably be around €2,000. Unfortunately, the foldable phone will come only in select markets and not in the whole Old Continent.
Oppo Realme XT
Oppo recently fooled Xiaomi by unveiling the world’s first phone with a 64 MP rear camera a few hours before the announcement of the Redmi Note 8 Pro. However, the Realme XT did not have a proper launch event: the phone will officially launch in India on September 13. It will be an affordable mid-ranger which will rival the Redmi Note 8 Pro with a Snapdragon 712 chipset, a 4000 mAh battery, a quad rear camera and an outstanding quality-price ratio.
Samsung Galaxy M30s
Last but not least, Samsung Galaxy M30s will make its debut on September 18. It will be another mid-ranger with a 6.4-inch display and a triple camera including a 48 MP main sensor. But its key feature will be a huge 6000 mAh battery and, despite the huge battery, the phone will weigh just 174 grams. Galaxy M30s will be fueled by the Exynos 9611 chipset and it will obviously carry a pretty affordable price.
