Tech brands in China are expected to take a break starting tomorrow as the Lunar New Year begins. Operations are expected to resume by mid-February. During this period, several new device launches are anticipated. Oppo is likely to announce the Find N5, Xiaomi is expected to unveil the Xiaomi 15 Ultra, and the Realme Neo 7 SE is also expected to debut around the same time. These devices are slated for release in February. In March, Huawei is rumored to launch the Pocket 3, a flip-style smartphone designed with a focus on female users.
Pura 80 series delayed, Pocket 3 heading for March launch
Huawei unveiled the Pura 70 series of flagship phones in April 2024. According to tipster Fixed Focus Digital, the Huawei Pura 80 series is expected to face a delay, with its release likely pushed back to May or June. This is in line with a previous leak by DCS who claimed that the Pura 80 lineup will be unveiled in Q2 this year.
On the other hand, the Pocket 3, Huawei’s flip-style foldable phone targeting the female market, is still on track for a March release. The Pocket 3 is rumored to be a groundbreaking device that could surprise competitors with innovative features or design elements.
In a newer Weibo post, a tipster revealed that Richard Yu (referred to as “Big Mouth,” a well-known nickname for him in Chinese tech circles and media), the CEO of Huawei’s Consumer Business Group, hinted at the launch of a new phone in March. According to Yu, the device will be affordable, with the statement, “A new phone will be launched in March, and everyone can afford it.” While this one appears to be the Pocket 3, no concrete details about the device’s specifications have been disclosed yet.
All that is known so far about the Pocket 3 is that it will be thinner, lighter, and more compact compared to its predecessor. Additionally, it is rumored to come in two versions, though specific details about these variants remain under wraps. Stay tuned for more updates as the launch approaches!
