After a long while, we are going to have multiple smartphone launches, courtesy of Mobile World Congress 2023. At least four brands are expected to debut multiple new phones.
Unfortunately, most of these handsets are merely making their way to the global markets as they had already gone official in China. Either way, they are new products for most parts of the world.
The announcement of these phones will begin coming Sunday and will last until Wednesday. With that out of the way, let’s take a quick look at the devices that are scheduled to be unveiled in the next few days.
Upcoming Smartphones Next Week
1. Xiaomi 13 Series
Xiaomi has scheduled to launch the Xiaomi 13 series for global markets on February 26. The event will begin at 4 PM GMT+1. It will be live-streamed on YouTube.
The lineup is expected to include three models, namely Xiaomi 13, Xiaomi 13 Pro, and Xiaomi 13 Lite. The former two are the same as the ones sold in China. Whereas, the lite variant is actually a rebranded Xiaomi Civi 2 from September.
The regular and pro phones will be powered by a Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 chipset, while the lite will house a Qualcomm Snapdragon 7 Gen 1 SoC. The former two will even arrive with Leica-tuned cameras.
The Xiaomi 13, 13 Pro, and 13 Lite are tipped to cost around €999, €1,299, and €499, respectively.
2. Honor Magic 5 Series and Honor Magic Vs
Honor has planned its event for February 27 at 1:30 PM CET. The brand has confirmed to debut the Honor Magic 5 series and Honor Magic Vs at this conference.
Unlike most handsets, not much is known about the Magic 5 series. The lineup is said to include four devices, such as Honor Magic 5, Honor Magic 5 Pro, Honor Magic 5 Ultimate, and Honor Magic 5 Lite. The first three phones are expected to house a Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 chip, while the last one is said to be powered by a Snapdragon 695 SoC.
On the other hand, the Honor Magic Vs foldable smartphone had already gone official in China in late November. Everything is known about this product.
3. Realme GT 3
The Relame GT 3 is set to launch in global markets on February 28. The event will start at 4 PM UTC+1 and will be live-streamed on YouTube.
The GT 3 for international markets is nothing but rebranded Realme GT Neo 5 from China. The handset will be available in 150W and 240W charging variants.
The highlights of the device will include a 6.74-inch 10-bit 144Hz AMOLED display, a Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Plus Gen 1 chip, a 50MP Sony IMX890 primary camera, dual stereo speakers, an in-screen fingerprint sensor, infrared sensor, and more.
4. Vivo V27 Series
The Vivo V27 series will be debuting in India on March 1. It will be announced in a live stream that will start at 12 PM IST.
The lineup will consist of three smartphones, namely Vivo V27, Vivo V27 Pro, and Vivo V27e. These handsets are rebranded versions of the Vivo S16 series sold in China with a few differences.
Like its predecessors, the Vivo V27 series is all about design and selfie cameras. However, unlike the previous models, the upcoming devices will also come with flagship-killer chipsets, such as MediaTek Dimensity 8200 and Qualcomm Snapdragon 870.
