The rumoured roadmap of upcoming Redmi phones for the Chinese market includes the Redmi K70 Ultra, the Redmi Note 14 series, and the Redmi K80 series. The K70 lineup included three models, such as the K70e, K70, and K70 Pro. Hence, it is likely that the K80 series may comprise multiple models. Rumours surrounding the K80 lineup claim that it will debut in November of this year. New leaks that have emerged about the Redmi K80 Pro claim that it will have a couple of new upgrades, including the latest Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 chipset. However, the device is also expected to carry a costlier price tag than its predecessor.

In a new Weibo post, tipster Digital Chat Station has seemingly mentioned the key details of the Redmi K80 Pro without mentioning its name. However, the comments section of the post suggests that he could be talking about the K80 Pro.

The leak suggests that the Redmi K80 Pro may arrive with a flat display that offers a 2K resolution. Under the hood, it will have the Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 chipset. While the K70 Pro featured a 50-megapixel telephoto camera with 2x optical zoom support, the K80 Pro may feature a 50-megapixel telephoto camera with 3x optical zoom support.

Another tech blogger from China asserted that the device will also feature an ultrasonic in-screen fingerprint scanner. While the K70 Pro was made available with a starting price of 3,299 CNY, the tech blogger is of the view that with the inclusion of upgraded specs, the K80 Pro will be costlier than its predecessor. He added that as the cost of key components rises, manufacturers may need to make strategic compromises.

Recently, an upcoming OnePlus phone with model number PJX110 was approved by China’s 3C certification platform. Rumours surrounding the device have claimed that it could be the upcoming OnePlus Ace 3 Pro flagship phone for the Chinese market. Now, the PJX110 model has emerged in Geekbench’s database, revealing its chipset, RAM, and Android version.

OnePlus Ace 3 Pro Geekbench listing

The Geekbench listing reveals that the OnePlus Ace 3 Pro scored 2003 points in the single-core test and 5447 points in the multi-core test. The CPU details mentioned in the listing suggest that it has the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 chipset onboard.

The Ace 3 Pro is equipped with 16 GB of RAM and Android 14 OS, likely to be overlaid with ColorOS 14.1. Reports have claimed that the highest variant of the device will offer 24 GB of LPDDR5x RAM and 1 TB of UFS 4.0 storage.

As per other reports, the OnePlus Ace 3 Pro will arrive with a 6.78-inch OLED panel that offers a 1.5K resolution, a 120Hz refresh rate, up to 4,500 nits of brightness, and an in-screen fingerprint scanner.

Earlier this year, OnePlus announced the Snapdragon 7 Gen 3-powered OnePlus Nord CE 4 in different markets. The brand is expected to launch the Nord 4 and the Nord CE 4 Lite in the near future. A new development reveals that the new OnePlus phones have received approval from the Bluetooth SIG authority. These devices could be the Nord-branded smartphones.

Upcoming OnePlus phones Bluetooth SIG certified

The above screenshot shows that two new OnePlus phones with model numbers CPH2619 and CPH2621 have received approval from the Bluetooth SIG authority.  Previously, the CPH2621 model was spotted with the OnePlus Nord CE 4 Lite moniker in certification platforms like SIRIM (Malaysia), TDRA (UAE), and IMDA (Singapore). The device has also been approved by India’s BIS authority.  At present, there is no clarity about the final moniker of the OnePlus CPH2619 device.

Reports have claimed that the OnePlus Nord 4 will be a rebranded version of the OnePlus Ace 3V, which debuted with the Snapdragon 7+ Gen 3 in April this year in China. Rumour has it that the Nord 4 will make its debut in July of this year.

Interestingly, the CPH2621 and CPH2619 have both surfaced on Geekbench. The listings reveal identical specs, such as a Qualcomm chip with the Adreno 732, suggesting the inclusion of Snapdragon 7+ Gen 3, 12 GB of RAM, and Android 14. It appears that the CPH2619 could be the OnePlus Nord 4, based on the chip. However, it is advisable to wait for further reports to know the identity of the OnePlus CPH2619 phone.

While the Nord CE 4 Lite (CPH2621)’s Geekbench listings also hint at Snapdragon 7+ Gen 3, the handset is unlikely to feature the said chip considering that it will be positioned lower than the Snapdragon 7 Gen 3-powered OnePlus Nord CE 4. There is a possibility that the CPH2619 and CPH2621 may both belong to the Nord CE 4 Lite. Hopefully, newer reports will shed more details about these upcoming OnePlus phones.

Xiaomi’s next major announcements for the Chinese market include the Xiaomi Mix Flip, the Mix Fold 4, the Redmi K70 Ultra, and the Redmi Note 14 series. After these devices go official in the next few months, the brand will reportedly take off covers from the Xiaomi 15 series in October of this year. While the Xiaomi 15 and 15 Pro are expected to launch in October, the 15 Ultra may debut in the second quarter of 2025. A new leak suggests that the 15 and 15 Pro will offer improvements in the primary camera department.

Reliable Chinese leaker Digital Chat Station has hinted at significant upgrades for the Xiaomi 15 and Xiaomi 15 Pro, particularly in their camera systems. The new models will feature a customised OmniVision 50-megapixel main camera with a 1/1.3-inch super-large sensor and a large aperture.

The Xiaomi 15 series will also include a new multi-layer nano ALD ultra-low-reflection coating, enhancing light transmittance, picture clarity, and texture, and reducing glare and ghosting. Notably, the Xiaomi 15 Pro may feature a periscope telephoto lens, absent in recent generations, significantly boosting its telephoto capabilities. A recent leak claimed that the 15 Pro will have a 50-megapixel (main) + 50-megapixel (ultra-wide) + 50-megapixel (periscope telephoto) triple camera unit on the back.

The series will also come standard with the AI-enabled imaging model Xiaomi AISP, which utilises computational photography for more three-dimensional light and shadow and a more natural depth of field.

As far as core configurations are concerned, the Xiaomi 15 and 15 Pro are expected to debut as the world’s first Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 powered smartphones. The standard version will have a small straight screen, while the Pro version will feature an equal-depth micro-curved screen.

At present, there is no concrete way to determine whether the PJX110 device is the upcoming Ace 3 Pro. The device has been spotted with a VCBAOBCH charger that supports up to 100W charging.

Rumours surrounding the Ace 3 Pro have claimed that it will pack a 6,100mAh battery and support 100W fast charging. Therefore, it seems that the PJX110 might be the Ace 3 Pro, anticipated to launch in July.

According to reports, the OnePlus Ace 3 Pro will have a 6.78-inch curved-edge OLED panel that offers a 1.5K resolution and a 120Hz refresh rate. The mock render of the device, shown above, showcases a redesigned circular design that does not fuse with the edge, unlike the recent OnePlus flagships.

The Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 is likely to power the device. It may ship with up to 24 GB of LPDDR5x RAM, up to 1 TB of UFS 4.0 storage, a 16-megapixel front camera, and an OIS-enabled 50-megapixel + 8-megapixel + 2-megapixel triple camera unit.

Yesterday, Realme Vice President, Chase Xu confirmed that the brand will launch the Realme GT 7 Pro in India later this year. Now, tipster Digital Chat Station has shed a few more details about the device.

Realme is currently developing the Realme GT 6 for the global market. According to reports, this phone is a rebranded version of the Realme GT Neo 6, which made its debut with the Snapdragon 8s Gen 3 chip in China. DCS revealed that the Realme GT 7 Pro will have a unified name for the Chinese and global markets.

Last year, Realme launched the Realme GT 5 Pro in December 2023 in China. Therefore, it is probable that Realme will unveil the Realme GT 7 Pro in China at the same time this year. Because it will be a next-generation flagship phone, it will most likely feature the upcoming Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 chip.

Several reports have claimed that the Xiaomi 15 and 15 Pro, which will debut in October of this year in China, will be the first phones to feature the Snapdragon 8 Gen 4. According to DCS, the Realme GT 7 Pro will be the first Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 phone for the global market. He added that its key features include a large silicon-anode battery and periscope imaging.
