In a blink of an eye, the third quarter of 2024 is about to pass the halfway point. Since entering the second half of 2024, major smartphone manufacturers have released their flagship mobile phone products for the second half of the year. For example, Xiaomi launched the MIX Fold 4, Huawei launched the nova Flip, and China Telecom launched the Maimang 30.

It is worth noting that the above products are just appetizers. From now until the end of September 2024, the wave of new smartphone product releases will continue. Many smartphone manufacturers will also launch more attractive products. So what new products are worth looking forward to in the smartphone industry before the fourth quarter? What are the new selling points of these new products? Let's combine the current leaked information and look forward to the next new mobile phone products.

Xiaomi and Honor are fighting in the 1,000 yuan entry-level market

As the most important model of the Redmi brand, the Note series has always been known for its high cost-effectiveness. Three months ago, Redmi's official Weibo account announced that the global sales of the Redmi Note 13 series exceeded 15 million units. As September 2024 approaches, the successor to the Note 13 series, the Note 14 series, is finally ready to go.

As usual, the Redmi Note 14 series will include three models: Redmi Note 14, Redmi Note 14 Pro and Redmi Note 14 Pro+.

The main difference between these three products lies in the different core performance configurations. The Redmi Note 14 is equipped with the second-generation Snapdragon 7s processor, the Redmi Note 14 Pro is equipped with the Snapdragon 7s Gen3 processor, and the Redmi Note 14 Pro+ is equipped with the MediaTek Dimensity 7350 processor.

It is worth noting that the Redmi Note 14 Pro+ will be the first product to adopt the Dimensity 7350 processor. The Dimensity 7350 was released on July 17, 2024. It is built based on TSMC's second-generation 4nm process and adopts the second-generation Arm v9 architecture. The CPU frequency can reach up to 3.0 GHz. It is foreseeable that the performance of the top-end Redmi Note 14 Pro+ product will be a surprise.

The other configurations of the Redmi Note 14 series of mobile phones are basically the same. It uses a 1.5K new substrate screen, supports 120Hz refresh rate and high-frequency eye protection dimming technology, and is equipped with a rear 50-megapixel large-bottom triple-camera system. The low-light photography performance is worth looking forward to.

In terms of price, the Redmi Note 14 series may be aligned with the previous generation and will be released in the first half of September 2024. The standard version 8GB+128GB will start at 1,099 yuan, the Pro version 8GB+256GB will start at 1,399 yuan, and the Pro+ version 12GB+256GB will start at 1,899 yuan.

Next, not only Xiaomi will launch the Redmi Note 14 series, but Xiaomi's arch-rival Honor will also launch a thousand-yuan phone - Honor X60. Unlike the Redmi Note 14 series, which focuses on powerful performance, Honor's X series phones focus on large batteries and exquisite designs. The Honor X50, which came out last year, is equipped with a 5800mAh large-capacity battery, with a body thickness of only 7.98mm and a weight of only 185g.

Due to its excellent product configuration, Honor X50’s sales in the Chinese market exceeded 10 million 10 months after its launch. It is the first Android product released since 2023 to have sales in the Chinese market exceeding 10 million.

Since the Honor X50 won the market with its differentiated product strength, its successor, the Honor X60, will naturally continue its many selling points. Previously, the well-known digital blogger "Digital Chat Station" revealed that the Honor X60 series of mobile phones have a popular high-end design, adopt an equal-depth quad-curved screen, "a thousand-yuan phone challenges the flagship form", equipped with an "extra-large battery", and "super drop-resistant".

The price of the Honor X50 8GB+128GB version is 1,399 yuan, and the price of the Honor X60 may be similar to that of the product, not too high. Although the starting prices of the Honor X60 and Redmi Note 14 are exactly the same, the two products may not really compete head-on. Because the positioning of the two products is completely different, after they are launched on the market, they may only capture specific consumers.

In the mid-to-high-end market, the realme 13 Pro+ is expected to be

If you are not interested in entry-level products priced around 1,000 yuan, you can also focus on the mid-to-high-end mobile phone products that realme and moto will soon launch.

Recently, two realme models, RMX3989 and RMX3920, have been connected to the network. They are expected to be the realme 13 Pro series products, including realme 13 Pro and realme 13 Pro+.

It is worth noting that the realme 13 Pro series has been released in overseas markets at the end of July 2024. The performance of the realme 13 Pro and realme 13 Pro+ are exactly the same, both equipped with Qualcomm Snapdragon 7s Gen2 processor and built-in 5200mAh battery.

The main difference between realme 13 Pro and realme 13 Pro+ is the different imaging configurations. The realme 13 Pro is equipped with a rear-mounted 50-megapixel LYT-600 main camera + 8-megapixel ultra-wide-angle + 2-megapixel triple-camera combination, but there is no periscope telephoto.

The realme 13 Pro+ will be equipped with a 50-megapixel LYT600 periscope telephoto lens, a 1/2-inch large bottom, support for OIS optical image stabilization, support for 3x optical zoom, and support for up to 120x digital zoom. In addition, PChome found on the telecommunications equipment terminal network that the optical zoom ratio of the realme 13 Pro+ is 3x. This indirectly shows that the imaging configuration of the realme 13 Pro+ is the same as the overseas version.

In addition to the different camera configurations, the charging configurations of realme 13 Pro and realme 13 Pro+ are also different. The realme 13 Pro supports 45W fast charging, which can charge 50% in 27 minutes; the realme 13 Pro+ supports 80W fast charging, which can charge 50% in 19 minutes.

In terms of price, according to overseas market estimates, the 8GB+128GB version of realme 13 Pro is priced at about RMB 2,340, and the 8GB+256GB version of realme 13 Pro+ is priced at about RMB 2,860. Considering that realme is a local Chinese mobile phone company, the price of realme 13 Pro series products in the Chinese market may be lower than that in overseas markets.

Recently, in addition to the realme 13 Pro series being connected to the network, Motorola's moto s50 has also been connected to the network by the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, and some parameters and ID photos have been announced.

Overall, the length, width and thickness of the moto s50 are 154.1mm, 71.2mm and 8.1mm respectively, and it weighs only 172g, which is even smaller than the small-screen flagship Xiaomi 14. On the back of the body, the moto s50 is made of plain leather, with a slight bulge in the lens area, and is available in three colors: jungle green, soft peach, and koala gray. The moto s50 uses a right-angle frame, which looks very tough.

On the front, the moto s50 will be equipped with a 6.36-inch screen with a resolution of 2670x1200, supporting a 120Hz refresh rate and a global excitation brightness of 1200nit. In terms of performance, the moto s50 will be equipped with the Dimensity 7300 processor released in May 2024, using TSMC's 4nm process, consisting of 4 2.5GHz A78 cores and 4 2.0GHz A55 cores, and the GPU is Mali-G615 MC2. Although the overall performance is not as good as the third-generation Snapdragon 8, running large online games is not a problem.

In terms of charging, the moto s50 will be equipped with a 4310mAh battery, supporting 68W wired and 15W wireless charging. When it runs out of power, it can also be quickly restored through wired charging.

It is expected that the price of moto s50 will be around 2,000 yuan and will be released in September 2024. Moto s50 is suitable for users who do not pursue extreme performance but value a thin and light experience. If you are interested in this phone, you can wait a month before buying it.

High-end flagship market: iPhone 16 is highly anticipated

If we talk about the most important new phone in the third quarter of each year, if the iPhone says it is second, then perhaps no other product dares to say it is first.

As usual, the iPhone 16 series will be released in September 2024, with four versions: standard, Plus, Pro, and Pro Max.

The screen sizes of the standard and Plus versions of the iPhone 16 are 6.1 inches and 6.7 inches respectively, and the refresh rate is 60Hz. The iPhone 16 Pro and Pro Max versions will be equipped with 6.3-inch and 6.9-inch displays respectively, supporting a 120Hz refresh rate.

In terms of appearance, the rear camera design of the iPhone 16 standard version has changed. It no longer adopts the matrix solution since the iPhone 11, but is arranged vertically, returning to the design language of the iPhone X. In addition, an independent photo button will be added to the side of the iPhone 16 standard version, which can bring a SLR-like photo-taking experience.

The appearance of the iPhone 16 Pro has not changed much. The camera is still arranged in a triangle, but the color scheme has been adjusted. It comes in three colors: original titanium, white titanium, and black titanium. The side of the body adopts a right-angle frame design, similar to the standard version, with a new physical photo button.

In terms of performance, because of the need to support AI functions, the core processors of the iPhone 16 series have been upgraded. The standard version of the iPhone 16 is equipped with an A18 processor, and the iPhone 16 Pro is equipped with a more powerful A18 Pro processor. All series are equipped with 8GB of memory as standard.

Since the upgrade of the iPhone 16 series is not small, its price will also remain high. It is expected that the starting price of the standard version of iPhone 16 will be 5999 yuan, and the top version of iPhone 16 Pro Max will be priced at 13999 yuan.

In September, in addition to Apple's iPhone 16 series, Xiaomi will also release the new Xiaomi 14T, replacing the Xiaomi 13T series released last year. The Xiaomi 14T series has two versions - Xiaomi 14T and Xiaomi 14T Pro. The former is equipped with MediaTek Dimensity 8300 Ultra processor, and the latter is equipped with Dimensity 9300+ processor.

It is understood that the Dimensity 9300+ adopts an all-large-core CPU architecture. The eight-core CPU includes 4 Cortex-X4 super-large cores with a main frequency of 3.4 GHz and 4 Cortex-A720 large cores with a main frequency of 2.0GHz. It is foreseeable that the Xiaomi 14T Pro will become Xiaomi's most powerful Dimensity flagship.

In terms of photography, the Xiaomi 14T Pro is equipped with a rear-mounted 50-megapixel main camera + 13-megapixel ultra-wide-angle + 50-megapixel telephoto triple-camera module. The main camera sensor is OV50H, the ultra-wide-angle sensor is OV13B, and the telephoto sensor is Samsung S5KJN1. It is equipped with Leica optical lens and has built-in Leica classic and Leica vivid image quality modes.

If you are not satisfied with the high price of iPhone 16 series, you can focus on Xiaomi 14T. Referring to the experience of Xiaomi 13T, the starting price of Xiaomi 14T series may be around 5,000 yuan, which is very cost-effective.

The tablet market is experiencing a resurgence, with small size and high performance becoming the main themes

In the third quarter of 2024, in addition to many new mobile phones, there will also be a number of very attractive new Android tablets.

On August 6, Wang Teng, Vice General Manager of Xiaomi China Marketing and General Manager of Redmi Brand, said on social media that "an interesting product was discussed." Many netizens speculated that Wang Teng was warming up the "Redmi small-size tablet."

Previously, Xiaomi launched a small-sized tablet called Redmi Pad SE 4G for overseas markets. It is equipped with a MediaTek Helio G85 processor, has an 8.7-inch screen with a resolution of 1340×800 and supports a high refresh rate of 90Hz.

PChome found that Xiaomi had previously connected a tablet with model number 24074RPD2C, which will be equipped with a 4900mAh battery and adopt a narrow frame design language. It seems to be the small-sized tablet that Wang Teng is warming up. However, the specific performance configuration of Redmi's small-sized tablet is still unclear. Considering that Redmi has always been known for its high cost performance, the performance of its small-sized tablet may not disappoint us.

In fact, in addition to Redmi's upcoming small-sized tablet, Red Magic will also launch a similar product. Blogger "Digital Chat Station" revealed that Red Magic's gaming tablet will be released in August 2024, equipped with a Snapdragon 8 Gen3 leading version processor and several pioneering cooling technologies.

Compared with the standard version of Snapdragon 8 Gen3, the CPU super core frequency of Snapdragon 8 Gen3 Advanced Edition has been increased to 3.4GHz, and the GPU frequency has been increased to 1GHz, which is the performance ceiling of the current Android camp. From this point of view, the Red Magic small-sized tablet will focus on powerful performance.

It is understood that in July 2023, Red Magic launched the Red Magic gaming tablet, equipped with a full-blooded version of the Snapdragon 8+ processor, with a 12.1-inch screen, a 144Hz refresh rate, a battery capacity of 10000mAh, support for 80W flash charging, a body weight of 613g, and a starting price of 3899 yuan for 12GB+256G. It is foreseeable that the price of the Red Magic small-size tablet may be in line with the previous gaming tablet, with a starting price of around 4000 yuan.

In summary, although there is still about one and a half months left in the third quarter, the mobile phone market will still usher in a wave of new product releases. From entry-level products priced at 1,000 yuan to high-end flagships, major brands have launched their own new models to meet the needs of different consumer groups. These new products not only have breakthroughs in performance, design and technological innovation, but also show their competitiveness in price, providing consumers with a variety of choices.

In the 1,000 yuan entry-level market, Redmi Note 14 may become a popular choice in the market with its affordable price and balanced performance. For users with limited budgets but pursuing cost-effectiveness, this phone will undoubtedly be an ideal entry-level option. In the mid-to-high-end market, we have seen many brands carefully polishing their performance and design. These products often provide a user experience close to that of high-end flagships while maintaining a reasonable price, satisfying consumers who have certain requirements for quality but do not want to spend too much budget. In the high-end flagship market, Xiaomi 14T Pro not only reaches the top level in hardware configuration, but also has deep customization in software optimization and user experience, which will bring new choices to users who pursue the ultimate experience.

The new small-sized tablets provide a better choice for consumers who seek a combination of portability and high performance. Small-sized tablets have the advantages of light size and powerful performance, which can meet the needs of users in mobile office, entertainment and learning.

In summary, the mobile phone market in the third quarter provides a wealth of choices for both consumers with limited budgets and users pursuing high-end experience. The launch of these new products not only enriches the product line of the market, but also promotes the innovation and application of technology.

Obviously, the launch of many new products indicates that the mobile phone industry is beginning to pick up. With the continuous advancement of technology and the increasing diversification of consumer demand, we have reason to believe that the future mobile phone market will be more exciting and bring users a richer and more personalized smart experience.
