No brand has officially scheduled smartphone launches for the next few days, as of writing this story. However, based on leaks, three new phones could go official next week.
Out of these three, two of them will be flagships from Xiaomi — Xiaomi 14 and Xiaomi 14 Pro. Whereas, the third one will be a budget model from Vivo.
The Vivo device will succeed the Vivo Y100 from earlier this year. On the other hand, the Xiaomi handsets will replace the Xiaomi 13 models from late last year.
Let’s have a look at these products one by one.
Upcoming Smartphones Next Week
1. Vivo Y200
The Vivo Y200 is tipped to debut in India on October 23 (Monday). The launch offers for the product will be live until October 31 (Tuesday).
The phone will look somewhat identical to the Vivo T2 Pro, which also goes by iQOO Z7 Pro and Vivo S17e. However, the specs will be downgraded.
It will arrive with a Qualcomm Snapdragon 4 Gen1 chip, a 4,800mA battery, and 44W charging support. It will sport dual cameras on the back paired with an ‘Aura Light’ (ring LED light).
The Vivo Y200 is expected to cost ₹21,999, which translates to around $265.
2. Xiaomi 14 and Xiaomi 14 Pro
The Xiaomi 14 series could launch in China on October 27 (Friday), as per an official-looking poster. There will be two devices, namely Xiaomi 14 and Xiaomi 14 Pro.
Like the last-gen, both of them will be equipped with Leica-tuned cameras. The company has officially confirmed Leica Summilux lenses for these handsets.
The duo will be powered by Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 chipset, which will be announced on October 25 (Wednesday).
The vanilla Xiaomi 14 will be equipped with triple 50MP cameras headed by an OmniVision OV50H primary sensor. While the Xiaomi 14 Pro is expected to retain the 1-inch Sony IMX989 sensor from its predecessor.
Last but not least, these phones will ship with Xiaomi’s new operating system based on Android and Xiaomi Vela — HyperOS.
