Smartphone launches don’t seem to be stopping though we are nearing the end of the year. As of writing this article, two brands have confirmed to release new phones in November.

However, we believe there could be more announcements later this month. We have listed multiple products based on leaks and rumors.

Most of them mentioned in this post will likely go official in the next few weeks. Additionally, we may also witness the launch of handsets that are not listed here.

With that out of the way, let’s take a look at all the expected phone releases in the coming days.

Upcoming Smartphones in November 2022

Huawei P50 Pocket S

The Huawei P50 Pocket S has been confirmed to launch in China on November 2. It will be an affordable version of the Huawei P50 Pocket from last year.

The clamshell foldable smartphone is said to feature a Qualcomm Snapdragon 778 4G chipset, a 120Hz display, and cameras powered by the company’s in-house XMAGE image processing.

It is expected to arrive in six vibrant colors (black, blue, pink, white, green, and yellow) and two memory variants (128GB and 256GB).

Realme 10 Series

The Realme 10 has been officially confirmed to launch in multiple markets (mostly Southeast Asia) on November 10. There are also leaks regarding Realme 10 Pro Plus but it may not be announced at the event.

As far as the Realme 10 is concerned, it will be a budget 4G handset. Teasers and leaks have revealed it to come with a MediaTek Helio G99 chip, a 6.4-inch FHD+ 90Hz display, a 50MP + 2MP dual camera setup, a 16MP selfie camera, a side-mounted fingerprint sensor, Android 12, a 5,000mAh battery, and 33W fast charging support.

The device is expected to go on sale from November 11 in Southeast Asia via retailers like Shopee and Lazada.

Oppo A98

The Oppo A98 is said to be the most premium phone in the Oppo A series to date. Some of its features have been tipped but its launch date is a mystery. However, there’s a chance that it could go official in November.

As per leaks, the device will flaunt a curved FHD+ display with a 120Hz refresh rate and a 2160Hz PWM dimming. The panel will have the highest screen-to-body ratio on a single punch hole curved screen with its 3.3xmm chin.

It will offer other features like a Qualcomm Snapdragon 778G SoC, a 108MP primary camera, a 5,000mAh battery, and 67W fast charging support.

Oppo A58 5G

Oppo may release yet another A series handset called Oppo A58 5G in November. Though the exact launch date is not known, its specs and design are out.

According to a massive leak, the device will arrive with a 6.56-inch HD+ 90Hz display (LCD), MediaTek Dimensity 700 chip, LPDDR4x RAM, UFS 2,2 storage, 50MP + 2MP dual camera system, 8MP selfie camera, a side-mounted fingerprint sensor, Android 12, 5,000mAh battery, and 33W fast charging support.

The product is tipped to come in three colors, such as Tranquil Sea Blue, Breeze Purple, and Starry Sky Black.

Oppo Reno 9 Series

The Oppo Reno 9 series is also rumored to launch in November. The lineup is said to include three models, namely Oppo Reno 9, Oppo Reno 9 Pro, and Oppo Reno 9 Pro Plus. However, only details about the vanilla variant have leaked so far.

The standard Oppo Reno 9 is tipped to feature a 6.7-inch FHD+ 120Hz curved display, a Qualcomm Snapdragon 778G Plus chipset, a 64MP OmniVision OV64B primary camera, a 32MP Sony IMX709 selfie camera, and an in-screen fingerprint sensor.

Finally, it will boot Android 13 and will be backed by a 4,500mAh battery with support for 67W fast charging.

Redmi Note 11 Pro 2023

We expected the Redmi Note 11 Pro 2023 to go official in October but it didn’t happen. Now, we think it may release in November.

As per certifications and leaks, this smartphone will be nothing but a rebadged Redmi Note 10 Pro (aka Redmi Note 10 Pro Max) from 2021. It may be only sold in Southeast Asia and Europe as there’s only a ‘Global’ variant of it.

It will offer features like a 6.67-inch FHD+ 120Hz AMOLED display, Qualcomm Snapdragon 732G SoC, 108MP (wide) + 8MP (ultra-wide) + 5MP (telemacro) + 2MP (depth) quad-camera setup, 16MP selfie camera, dual stereo speakers, side-mounted fingerprint sensor, 5,020mAh battery, and 33W fast charging support.

Interestingly, the phone may boot Android 11 though the original Redmi Note 10 Pro has received the Android 12 update.

Poco X5 5G

The Poco X5 5G could make its debut in November. If not, at least its Chinese variant bearing the Redmi branding might go official. Because the model numbers of this handset suggest an October release but the said month has already passed away.

Unfortunately, we don’t have much information on it. The product is said to be marketed as a budget gaming smartphone.

It is said to come with a Qualcomm Snapdragon 778G+ SoC and a 120Hz display (LCD).

Xiaomi 13 Series

Two Xiaomi 13 series models, namely Xiaomi 13 and Xiaomi 13 Pro, could debut in November. They are expected to house a Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 chipset, which is also scheduled to go official this month.

The vanilla model is said to come with a 6.38-inch FHD+ display, 50MP main camera, and 67W fast charging support. On the other hand, a lot more has leaked about the Pro variant.

The Xiaomi 13 Pro is tipped to arrive with a 6.7-inch QHD+ LTPO E6 AMOLED display, 50MP (1-inch Sony IMX989 sensor) + 50MP (ultra-wide) + 50MP (telephoto) triple camera array, 32MP selfie camera, Leica image processing, Surge C2/P2 chips, Android 13-based MIUI 14, 4,800mAh battery, and 120W fast charging support.

If you are wondering about the Xiaomi 13 Ultra, it will most probably release next year.

Motorola Moto X40

The Motorola Moto X40 could release in November as one of the first Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 phones, other than the Xiaomi 13 series. Just like the latter, the exact launch date is unknown.

The device is expected to arrive with a 10-bit 6.67-inch FHD+ 165Hz curved display, LPDDR5x RAM, 50MP + 50MP + 12MP triple camera system, in-screen fingerprint sensor, 5,000mAh battery, and 68W fast charging support.

The product will likely go by Motorola Edge 40 Pro outside mainland China. The global debut could happen in Q1 2023.

Just like Samsung, Huawei has been releasing foldable smartphones since 2019. However, the company debuted its first clamshell foldable phone (Huawei P50 Pocket) only last year.

Almost a year from that, the firm is now gearing up to launch its second clamshell foldable handset, the Huawei P50 Pocket S. This device is set to go official later this week.

Like any other smartphone, this one has leaked multiple times in the last few weeks. It has also been officially teased by the company.

Here in this article, let’s look at everything known about this device ahead of its official launch.

Huawei P50 Pocket S Launch Date

The Huawei P50 Pocket S is scheduled to launch in China on November 2 (Wednesday). It will be made official at an event planned to begin at 7 PM GMT+8.

The conference will be live-streamed on Weibo and other leading Chinese video streaming platforms.

Huawei P50 Pocket S Design

The Huawei P50 Pocket S is expected to have a somewhat same design as the original Huawei P50. However, it may not feature an external display on the rear but the official teaser video suggests otherwise.

The phone will likely sport a metal frame, metal hinge, and a glass back. It will also house a side-mounted fingerprint sensor.

Lastly, it will probably arrive in six colors, such as black, blue, pink, white, green, and yellow.

Huawei P50 Pocket S Specifications

The Huawei P50 Pocket S is said to be a watered-down version of the Huawei P50 Pocket. However, it will come with the company’s in-house XMAGE image processing algorithm, which is not present in the original.

The handset is tipped to be powered by a 4G variant of Qualcomm Snapdragon 778G Soc paired with 8GB RAM. For comparison, the previous model is run by a 4G version of Qualcomm Snapdragon 888 chipset coupled with 8GB/12GB RAM.

Anyway, the P50 Pocket S will retain the 120Hz refresh rate from the P50 Pocket. Unfortunately, we don’t have further details on the display size and resolution.

Previously, it was said that the smartphone will be available in 256GB and 512GB storage models. But the latest leak suggests that there will be a 128GB variant instead of 512GB.

Huawei P50 Pocket S Expected Price

As mentioned earlier, the Huawei P50 Pocket S was earlier tipped to arrive in 256GB and 512GB storage variants priced at ¥4,999 ($685) and ¥6,999 ($959), respectively.

However, as per the latest information, it may come in 128GB and 256GB versions. The base model may either start at ¥5,488 ($752) or ¥6,488 ($889).

The post Huawei P50 Pocket S Roundup: Launch Date, Specs, & Expected Price appeared first on Gizmochina.

Huawei is gearing up to launch the new P50 Pocket S foldable smartphone model in China on November 2. But ahead of its official announcement, a new leak has revealed live images, storage variants, and even the pricing for the upcoming device.

The news arrives from a post on Weibo (a Chinese microblogging website). Looking at the online post, the tipster shared an image of the P50 Pocket S model along with some interesting details regarding the device. Apparently, the new foldable smartphone will come in two storage configurations. This includes an 8GB + 128GB. Apart from this, the tipster also shared the possible pricing for the new smartphone as well.

Reportedly, the 8GB + 256GB variant will cost around 5,988 Yuan (roughly 820 US Dollars). On the other hand, the leak also claimed that the 128GB variant might around 5,488 Yuan or around 6,488 Yuan (roughly 752 or 888 US Dollars). Unfortunately, this was all the information that was shared about the Huawei P50 Pocket S foldable smartphone. The image that was shared with this post only shows a small portion of the device that is being held in its folded state. Notably, a previous leak had hinted at the pricing for the 256GB and 512GB variants (costing 4999 Yuan and 6999 Yuan respectively), although, the latest leak claims that there is no 512GB model.

From what we know so far, the P50 Pocket S is a more affordable version of the previously launched P50 Pocket model. So, it will reportedly be powered by a Snapdragon 778G 4G chipset. It will also sport a 120Hz OLED foldable display that bends like a clamshell. Keep in mind that these leaked pricing and storage variants are just a leak as of right now and are not official. So take this news with a pinch of salt for now.

Unlike the last few weeks, there won’t be multiple smartphone launches the next week. As of writing this article, only one company has confirmed a new phone announcement in the next few days.

The firm we are describing is Huawei. The former world’s largest smartphone brand has scheduled to debut its first watered-down foldable smartphone on November 2.

This device is officially called Huawei P50 Pocket S. As the name suggests, it will be a cheaper variant of the existing Huawei P50 Pocket.

For the unaware, the P50 Pocket is Huawei’s first vertical (aka clamshell) foldable smartphone. It was announced in late December 2021.

Instead of debuting a successor almost a year later, the company is about to introduce an affordable version. Let’s check out what this handset will offer.

Upcoming Smartphone Next Week

Huawei P50 Pocket S

The Huawei P50 Pocket S is in the news for the last few weeks. However, its November 2 launch date was only confirmed recently by the firm. 

The device will be presented at a conference, which is scheduled to begin at 7 PM GMT+8. The event will be live-streamed on Weibo and other leading Chinese video streaming platforms.

Thanks to leaks and teasers, we know a few details about the forthcoming Huawei P50 Pocket S, which was previously known as Huawei P50 Pocke New.

The second clamshell foldable phone from Huawei is tipped to be powered by the mid-range Qualcomm Snapdragon 778G SoC (4G version). For comparison, the original P50 Pocket houses the 4G variant of the Snapdragon 888 chip.

Further, it is said to lack an external display on the back. But it will retain the 120Hz refresh rate for its foldable display from the expensive model.

Last but not least, it is expected to be the first Huawei foldable smartphone featuring cameras tuned by the company’s self-developed XMAGE image processing.

As far as price is concerned, the Huawei P50 Pocket S could retail at ¥4,999 and ¥6,999 for 256GB and 512GB storage variants, respectively. It may arrive in six vibrant colors, such as black, blue, pink, white, green, and yellow.

The post Upcoming Smartphone: Huawei P50 Pocket S appeared first on Gizmochina.

Earlier today, Huawei teased the upcoming launch of the Huawei P50 Pocket S smartphone in China. The device is set to break cover at 7 PM on November 2 in the domestic market.

Ahead of the launch, tipster Parag Guglani has shared the renders of the P50 Pocket S revealing its design and color options.

Design-wise, there appear to be no changes compared to the P50 Pocket, which launched back in December 2021. It has three cameras in a circular camera island accompanied by a flash module. The other black circular cutout on the back houses a secondary display that can display notifications and other crucial information from a variety of supported apps.

The image reveals five color options – blue, pink, rose, green, and yellow. Earlier reports have also mentioned that the device will come in white and black colors too.

The original P50 Pocket launched with the Snapdragon 888 4G chip under its hood. However, the P50 Pocket S is rumored to come with a Snapdragon 778G 4G chipset. Other than that, we expect to see a 120Hz OLED foldable display on the device, along with HarmonyOS 3, and the company’s XMAGE image processing technology. The device is expected to be quite affordable as the 256 GB edition of the Huawei Pocket S is expected to cost around 4,999 Yuan (~$689). On the other hand, its 512 GB edition, may arrive with a 6,999 Yuan (~$965) price tag.

More information about the clamshell smartphone is expected to be revealed as we get closer to the November 2 launch date, so stay tuned.

In August, an upcoming clamshell phone by Huawei was approved by China’s TENAA telecom authority. The listing only revealed the images of the phone. Following reports claimed that the device may be released in China with the “Huawei P50 Pocket New” moniker. However, the company released an official confirmation that the device will be called the Huawei P50 Pocket S and it will be made official at 7 PM on Nov. 2 in the home market.

The official teaser video released by the brand does not reveal the design of the Huawei P50 Pocket S. However, it confirms that the device will be made available in as many as six colors like black, blue, pink, white, green, and yellow. 

.

The original Huawei P50 Pocket, which went official in December 2021, was powered by the Snapdragon 888 4G mobile platform. There are a lot of rumors that the Snapdragon 778G 4G chipset will power the new Pocket S.

It is speculated that the Huawei P50 Pocket S will not feature a secondary display. The device is speculated to arrive with a 120Hz OLED foldable display, HarmonyOS 3, and the company’s XMAGE image processing technology. The inclusion of the SD778G chip is a good hint that it will be an affordable clamshell phone. The 256 GB edition of the Huawei Pocket S may cost 4,999 Yuan (~$689). On the other hand, its 512 GB edition, may arrive with a 6,999 Yuan (~$965) price tag.

It appears that the Huawei P50 Pocket S will not be the only device to debut on Nov. 2. A recent report claimed that Huawei may unveil the Huawei Watch GT Cyber alongside the P50 Pocket S.
