In this month, Vivo and Oppo will launch the Dimensity 9400-powered Vivo X200 series and the Oppo Find X8 lineup. By the end of the month, other brands will unveil the Snapdragon 8 Elite-powered flagships, such as the Xiaomi 15 series, OnePlus 13, Honor Magic 7 series, and iQOO 13. A new leak by tipster Smart Pikachu suggests that sub-flagship phones from Redmi, OnePlus, iQOO, and Realme will launch in China in November and December of this year. Here’s a look at the details shared by the tipster.
Launch timeframe for upcoming sub-flagship phones tipped
According to the tipster, the Redmi K80 with the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 chip features a 2K flat OLED display and is expected to be a price killer. Competitors such as the OnePlus Ace 5, Realme GT Neo 7, and iQOO Neo 10 are also equipped with the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 and feature OLED panels that offer a resolution of 1.5K.
The Redmi K80 Pro, powered by the Snapdragon 8 Elite, will feature a 2K flat OLED screen, an ultrasonic in-screen fingerprint sensor, and wireless charging. The OnePlus Ace 5 Pro and iQOO Neo 10 Pro will come with the Snapdragon 8 Elite and Dimensity 9400, respectively. The displays on these phones will support a 1.5K resolution, and they are also said to pack larger batteries.
Other reports have revealed that the Realme GT Neo 7 will have an overclocked version of the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3. Reports also suggest that it supports 100W charging. The Neo 10 series is expected to pack 6,000mAh+ silicon batteries with support for over 100W charging.
The OnePlus Ace 5 series may feature 6,500mAh silicon batteries and support 100W charging. According to reports, the Redmi K80 Pro will come with a 6,000mAh battery that supports 100W charging and wireless charging. Last year, the Redmi K70 and K70 Pro packed the same 5,000mAh battery. Therefore, it is uncertain if the Redmi K80 will have a 6,000mAh battery similar to its Pro version. Since these are sub-flagship phones, they are inclined to deliver better performance for gaming and are unlikely to feature top-notch specs like their flagship counterparts launching in October.
