OnePlus, iQOO, Vivo: Chinese brands to dominate year-end with new launches
OnePlus 13
OnePlus is set to unveil its flagship smartphone towards the end of this year, with a global launch anticipated in early 2025. The upcoming model is expected to introduce a new design and support for artificial intelligence features, alongside updates such as a next-generation Qualcomm chip. The OnePlus 13 may be one of the first devices to include a wireless charging system similar to Apple’s MagSafe, compatible with the Qi2 standard. Specifications include the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 chip, with options for up to 512GB of storage and 24GB of RAM. The device is likely to feature a triple 50-megapixel camera setup, potentially developed in collaboration with Hasselblad.
iQOO 13
iQOO has recently shared a preview of its upcoming smartphone, suggesting a design upgrade. Following the iQOO 12’s launch in India in December 2023, the iQOO 13 is anticipated to maintain a flat frame design with chamfered edges. The brand’s partnership with BMW may continue with this model. Expected enhancements include the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 SoC, a 144Hz AMOLED display, and a large-capacity battery with fast wired charging. Like the OnePlus 13, the iQOO 13 may also feature a triple 50-megapixel camera system.
Vivo X200 series
Vivo is preparing to launch its premium flagship X200 series, expected later this year, with a global launch as early as February next year. Unlike OnePlus and iQOO, the Vivo flagship series will likely use the MediaTek Dimensity 9400 SoC, which supports on-device AI processing. Anticipated upgrades include a new design, a large-capacity battery with fast wired charging, and a triple-camera system on the rear.
