According to the latest rumors spread by the well-known leaker Digital Chat Station, the main Chinese brands are preparing to renew their sub-flagship lines with truly top-of-the-range specifications, while maintaining a competitive price. Among the protagonists of this evolution are redmi, OnePlus and iQOO, which will introduce models with advanced displays, larger batteries and improved photographic systems.
REDMI, OnePlus, and iQOO: 2K displays and 7.800mAh batteries in new flagships
On the display front, the new devices will offer flat panels with 2K resolution, refresh rates up to 165Hz, and variants with medium-sized screens to balance ergonomics and visual quality. This diversification aims to satisfy both users seeking extreme fluidity and those who prefer a more compact format.
The camera department will also see significant improvements. Sub-flagship models will no longer be limited to standard sensors: telephoto lenses and periscope modules will be integrated into various variants, narrowing the gap with flagships and offering optical zoom and versatility even in the mid-to-high range.
The battery is another key element of this generation. The new smartphones will officially enter the "7.000mAh era," with some models potentially reaching 7.800mAh, ensuring extended battery life for even the most demanding users.
From a construction standpoint, the adoption of metal frames is noteworthy for improved heat dissipation and robustness, while ultrasonic fingerprint recognition technology under the display will become a standard, offering security and responsiveness even in difficult conditions, such as wet hands or bright light.
Finally, all models will be equipped with the powerful Snapdragon 8 Elite, ensuring high performance in gaming, multitasking and computational photography.
