According to leaks, there are quite a few new phones coming with the Snapdragon 8 Gen2 mobile platform, including Redmi K70, OnePlus Ace 3, Honor 100 series, and iQOO Neo9, among others. Their prices are likely to be around 3000 yuan, which is highly competitive in this price range. Who will come out on top in this epic battle?

Among Lu Weibing’s many Weibo posts hyping up the Redmi K70 series, the most interesting one is his latest post. On November 8th, Lu Weibing wrote in his latest Weibo post: “Good morning! Thinking about K70 makes me get up early.” A netizen commented below: “And then OnePlus Ace 3 will betray and reduce the price next year, right?”

Lu Weibing responded, “Do you think it still has a chance this year?” Talk about tension! It seems that Lu Weibing has great confidence in Redmi K70. According to Wang Teng, Redmi’s marketing manager and brand spokesperson, Redmi K70 has “better platform tuning, leading cooling technology, and top-notch 2K display.”

Redmi K70 series leaks

Digital blogger @数码闲聊站 leaked that the biggest advantage of this month’s Redmi K70 series is the design and screen quality. After adjustments, it leaves no opponents in the same category. The main competitors will all come next year, and Snapdragon 8G2 is preparing to dominate in imaging, possibly using IMX9/LYT8 for the main camera and maybe even adding a periscope lens…

According to reports, the Redmi K70 series may have three models, including the K70E, K70, and K70 Pro. The K70E will be equipped with the MediaTek Dimensity 8300 SoC chip, the standard K70 will feature the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen2 platform, while the Pro version may have the latest Snapdragon 8 Gen3 platform. The K70 is expected to have a 1.5K display, while the more expensive K70 Pro may come with a 2K display. The standard model can also get 90W charging support, while the Pro model can get faster 120W charging.

Based on the rumors from the blogger in the previous paragraph, the Redmi K70 will have no competitors in the same range. Considering the performance of the previous models in this series, the Redmi K70 is likely to surpass other Snapdragon 8 Gen2 models mentioned in this article and become the strongest Snapdragon 8 Gen2 model.

Currently, there are not many leaks about the OnePlus Ace 3. As usual, this device will likely debut in early next year. As a strong competitor to the Redmi K70 series, the OnePlus Ace 3’s capabilities should not be underestimated.

In a recent event, OnePlus unveiled the Oriental Screen, a collaboration with BOE, which claims to be the pinnacle of smartphone screens. According to the official introduction, the Oriental Screen offers top-notch display, high brightness, long lifespan, eye comfort, and brings 6 breakthrough technologies, achieving 9 world firsts and 12 global debuts. It is currently the best screen in the world in terms of display quality, screen brightness, eye protection, lifespan, and smoothness, providing users with an ultimate visual experience.

At the same event, OnePlus announced that the flagship OnePlus 12 will be the global debut of the 2K resolution Oriental Screen, while the performance benchmark OnePlus Ace 3 will be the global debut of the 1.5K resolution Oriental Screen. This is the first official revelation about the OnePlus Ace 3. With this screen, the OnePlus Ace 3’s display performance will undoubtedly be impressive.

It is reported that the global version of the OnePlus Ace 3 will be named OnePlus 12R, which can be understood as the youth version of OnePlus 12. According to overseas bloggers’ leaks, the OnePlus 12R will feature a 6.7-inch OLED Oriental Screen on the front, supporting 1.5K 120Hz refresh rate, with a peak brightness of 3000nits. It will be powered by the Snapdragon 8 Gen2 platform. The rear camera setup will include a 50MP IMX890 lens, a 32MP IMX709 lens, and an 8MP OV08D10 lens, with a 16MP front camera. Additionally, the device will have a 5500mAh battery and support 100W wired fast charging, with a metal frame.

From every aspect, the configuration of the OnePlus Ace 3 is outstanding, and it is believed that this phone will become a strong competitor to the Redmi K70 series after its release.

According to many sources, the Honor 100 series will be released in late November, and Honor will start promoting the new phone next week.

Honor 90

As the flagship model of the Honor series, the Honor 100 series is definitely worth the wait. In terms of design, some bloggers have leaked that the Honor 100 series will have a coastline-inspired design, somewhat similar to the Huawei P60 Art released in the first half of 2023.

When the Huawei P60 Art was first released, its irregular coastline design was eye-catching and full of artistic appeal, which amazed people. If the Honor 100 series also adopts such a design, it will likely become a popular model, with no concerns about recognition. However, there are also rumors that the rear camera of this series will feature a circular module design.

Honor 100 series leaks

According to the leaks, the front of the Honor 100 series will have a dual-camera setup in the center, with a flexible island design that may bring more interesting interactions. The front will feature a high-resolution screen with a refresh rate of 1.5K, supporting a super-high-frequency adjustment of 3840Hz. Unfortunately, the Honor 100 series may not come with MagicOS 8.0, which is expected to be released later and will bring a whole new experience of interconnected devices.

It is understood that the Honor 100 series may introduce three new models: Honor 100, Honor 100 Pro, and Honor 100 GT. However, the Honor 100 is likely to be equipped with the Snapdragon 7 Gen3 mobile platform, while the Pro version will have the Snapdragon 8 Gen2 mobile platform.

Currently, bloggers mainly praise the appearance and camera capabilities of the Honor 100 series. “The overall high-end design has become more popular, the appearance is stunning, and the build quality is also good. It will also bring dynamic interaction features under the new system driver, combined with high-quality flexible screens and large memory, showcasing strong product competitiveness.” “The photography capabilities of the Honor 100 series are extremely outstanding, with very good selfie effects,” bloggers claim.

Among these four new phones, the iQOO Neo9 series does not have a particularly high presence. This is because there are reports that the iQOO Neo9 series is expected to be released in the first quarter of 2024, so promoting it now is a bit early. However, some bloggers also mentioned that the new models in this series will be released as early as December this year or at the latest in January next year. As a reference, the iQOO Neo8 series was released on May 23 this year, and the Neo7 series was released on October 20 last year.

iQOO Neo9 series on the network

Currently, the iQOO Neo9 series has appeared in the GSMA IMEI database. The model code for iQOO Neo9 is V2338A, and the code for Neo9 Pro is V2339A. The new phones are expected to be equipped with Snapdragon 8 Gen2 and Dimensity 9300 chips respectively.

As a reference, iQOO Neo8 is equipped with Snapdragon 8+ processor, and Neo8 Pro is equipped with Dimensity 9200+ processor. As a “bulk-selling” model under iQOO, the performance of the iQOO Neo9 series is also worth looking forward to.

Around the price range of 3000 yuan, it is likely the segment with the highest shipment volume for smartphones, and the competition is also quite fierce. At this price point, consumers have increasingly higher requirements for cost-effectiveness, so smartphone manufacturers need to show some sincerity and introduce competitive models to gain a foothold in this segment.
