On September 6, the well-known whistleblower Digital Chat Station revealed that iQOO 13 and OnePlus 13 will be released in October this year. Combining previous information, CNMO found that five major domestic mobile phone brands will release flagships in October this year, and it seems that OV is “besieging” Xiaomi.
First, let’s talk about vivo. It is expected that in mid-October, vivo will release vivo X200 and vivo X200 Pro, the world’s first MediaTek Dimensity 9400 processor. The vivo X200 will be equipped with a 6.3-inch small screen and a periscope telephoto lens, and will be equipped with a new customized 22nm Sony main camera sensor.
After the launch of the vivo X200 series, OPPO Find X8 and OPPO Find X8 Pro will be released soon after, the first batch of which will be equipped with MediaTek Dimensity 9400 processors. OPPO Find X8 is equipped with a relatively small 6.5-inch screen, while OPPO Find X8 Pro will be equipped with a dual periscope telephoto lens.
Among the three major manufacturers, Xiaomi’s flagship was the last to be released. Since Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 was released on October 21, Xiaomi 15 and Xiaomi 15 Pro could only be released at the end of October, and they were the first to be released globally with Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 mobile platform. Xiaomi 15 supports ultrasonic fingerprint unlocking and is equipped with an upright telephoto lens.
iQOO 13 and OnePlus 13 are also expected to be equipped with Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 mobile platform, and will be released later than the Xiaomi 15 series.
iQOO mentioned in the leak is a sub-brand of vivo, and OnePlus is a sub-brand of OPPO. Vivo and OPPO have a close relationship. This time, OV has entered the small-screen market for the first time with multiple models, which will undoubtedly impact the Android small-screen flagship phone market that Xiaomi has occupied for a long time. Overall, Xiaomi will face great competitive pressure.
