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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

The post Vivo V27e Hands-on Image, Press Renders Emerge Before Launch appeared first on Gizmochina.

While it may seem early, Vivo is ready to launch the V27 series in India on March 1. It was recently confirmed that alongside the Vivo V27 and Vivo 27 Pro, the company will also unveil a more affordable Vivo V27e smartphone. The handset’s design and several key features have already been confirmed by the brand. And today, a tipster shared the complete specs sheet of the upcoming device. Let’s have a look.

Recently, the Vivo V27e went live on the company’s Malaysia website with its high-resolution images and key specs. From what we can see, the handset looks quite stylish and will certainly give a premium feel. It seems to have a flat back with some nature-inspired design on it. There’s a rectangular camera module that houses three camera rings and an LED flash. However, it’s no ordinary flash. The company says it has included an LED unit that comprises three light bulbs capable of detecting ambient lighting and adjusting brightness in low-light conditions.

According to recent details shared by tipster Sudhanshu Ambhore, the Vivo V27e will arrive with a 6.62-inch E4 AMOLED display that will offer 2400×1080 pixels resolution, 120Hz refresh rate, and DCI-P3 color gamut. Under the hood, the device could be powered by the Helio G99. It is said to arrive with a RAM extension feature and sport a hybrid MicroSD card slot. Fueled by a 4600mAh battery, the handset could feature 66W fast charging and an under-display fingerprint scanner. It should run Android 13 out of the box and have an IP54 rating.

The Vivo V27e is confirmed to flaunt an OIS-enabled 64-megapixel primary camera. The main cam is said to be accompanied by a 2MP Bokeh lens and 2MP macro shooter. On the front, the handset may feature a 32MP selfie shooter, enclosed in a hole punch cutout. The handset is reported to measure 162.51 × 75.81 × 7.70/7.80 mm and weigh around 186 g. It is likely to arrive with Bluetooth 5.2, Wi-Fi 5GHz, USB Type-C port, and NFC.

Vivo recently confirmed that the global launch of the Vivo V27 and V27 Pro will be held on March 1. The Vivo V27e’s landing page is now live on Vivo Malaysia’s website. The listing confirms that it will also break cover on the same date.

Vivo V27e Design

The Vivo V27e can be seen sporting a punch-hole display on the front. It appears to be an OLED panel integrated with a fingerprint scanner. The edges of the phone are flat, and its rear panel has three cameras and a ring-LED flash.

The device is equipped with an OIS-enabled 64-megapixel primary camera. According to the company, the ring LED unit comprises three light bulbs that can detect ambient lighting and adjust brightness in low-light conditions.

The bottom side of the Vivo V27e has a SIM slot, a microphone, a USB-C port, and a speaker grille. It appears that the device does not have a 3.5mm audio jack. Vivo claims that the device has a thickness of 7.8mm and weighs around 186 grams.

Vivo V27e specifications

So far, reports have revealed that the Vivo V27e’s display supports a Full HD+ resolution of 1080 x 2400 pixels. It will be a 4G device powered by the Helio G99. At present, it is unclear whether the company has plans to release a 5G version of the device. It is expected to come with 8 GB of RAM, 128 GB of storage, and the Android 13 OS.

As far as India is concerned, Vivo may launch only the Vivo V27 Pro on March 1. The V27 and V27e may hit the Indian market later. The V27 Pro could be a rebranded version of the China-exclusive Vivo S16 Pro, whereas the V27 could be a new device featuring the upcoming Dimensity 7200 chipset.

Vivo is expected to launch the Vivo V27 series smartphones in the global market soon. The company has recently dropped a teaser for these upcoming devices. This means that the launch could happen in the coming days. We already know that the V27, V27 Pro and V27e devices in the series will be rebranded from the China-exclusive Vivo S16 series.

The Vivo V27e has been spotted on SIRIM and BIS certification websites (via), confirming that the device will launch in Malaysia and India. The listings do not reveal anything regarding the specifications, however, they do confirm that in both regions the device will have model number V2237.

We know about some of the specifications of the Vivo V27e thanks to a recent Google Play Console listing. According to the listing, the device will have a 1080 x 2400 pixels display with 440 ppi pixel density. The display will likely be an AMOLED panel that’s 6.62 inches in size, and offer up to 120Hz refresh rate.

Under the hood, the device will have a MediaTek MT6789 SoC which is also known as the Helio G99. This is a 6nm based 4G chipset manufactured by TSMC and offers great efficiency and decent performance. It is worth noting that the Chinese counterpart of this device i.e. the Vivo S16e is powered by a Dimensity 1080 chipset that comes with 5G support.

For optics, we can expect a 50MP main sensor, 2MP macro lens, and a 2MP depth snapper. There is a 16MP front-facing camera. Other details about the device are still a mystery at the moment.

Two new Vivo V-series smartphones have been spotted on the Google Play Console listing. The devices are the upcoming Vivo V27 Pro and V27e. The former is listed with model number V2230 whereas the latter has model number V2237. The Vivo V27 series has been subject to leaks and rumours in the past.

Beginning with the Play Console listing, the Vivo V27 Pro will feature a display resolution of 1,080 x 2,400 pixels and have a 440 ppi pixel density. The rendered image shows the phone with a centre-aligned punch-hole cutout and curved edges. The listing mentions the presence of MediaTek MT6896Z/CZA processor that corresponds to the Dimensity 8200 SoC. It packs 8GB RAM and runs on Android 13 OS out of the box. We can expect the smartphone to be available in more RAM and storage configurations. 

As for the Vivo V27e, it is listed with the same display, RAM, and operating system details as the V27 Pro. The V27e is expected to be powered by MediaTek MT6789 SoC which is actually the Helio G99. The smartphone is also seen with a curved display and centre-aligned punch-hole cutout. 

The Vivo V27 series also includes a standard variant. It has not appeared on the Play Console listing but was spotted on Geekbench recently with an unannounced MediaTek chipset and 12GB RAM.
