In a new leak, tipster Digital Chat Station has mentioned the launch timeframes of the expected smartphones. Here’s a look at all the details shared by the tipster.
Xiaomi 16 series, Vivo X300 series – September-end launch
According to tipster Digital Chat Station, only one brand is tentatively set to launch a new SM8850 (Snapdragon 8 Elite 2) powered device by the end of September. Based on recent reports, the tipster could be talking about the Xiaomi 16 series.
He added that another brand is working hard to get its D9500 (Dimensity 9500) powered phone ready for a late September debut, but if it can’t make it, the launch will be pushed to after the National Day holidays in early October. The national holidays will last between Oct. 1 to Oct. 8 this year. The tipster could be referring to the Vivo X300 series of smartphones. If it does not debut by the end of September, it may break cover within the first half of October in China.
October launches
DCS added that October is shaping up to be a fierce battleground for SM8850 and D9500 flagship launches, with both main and sub-brands planning to release new flagships at a rapid pace.
