Next week, there are going to be four smartphone launches. All of them are for newer devices. Two of them will be hosted by realme in different markets, one by OPPO, and the last one will be by Nothing. The most exciting of all is definitely the latter. Because for the first time in a while, we know nothing (no pun intended) about a tech product before its announcement.
With that out of the way, let’s take a look at these phones one by one.
Upcoming Smartphones Next Week
1. realme GT NEO3
Within a year, realme will be debuting the third-gen realme GT NEO series model on March 22 in China. Officially called the realme GT NEO3, the handset will be marketed as a ‘fashionable gaming smartphone’. The conference will kickstart at 2 PM CST and can be live-streamed on Weibo and other Chinese video platforms.
The phone will sport a race car-inspired rear design with a triangular camera module. Its front will be occupied by a centered punch-hole display. One of its main highlights will be support for 150W fast charging.

4. Nothing
OnePlus co-founder Carl Pei’s consumer tech startup Nothing has scheduled a conference called ‘Nothing (event): The Truth’ for March 23. It will be live-streamed on the company’s official YouTube channel from 2 PM GMT.
