What would
GizChina be without Xiaomi news? So, let's begin with the Chinese
tech giant. As you all probably will know by now, the company is expected to launch the much hyped and awaited Xiaomi Mi MIX successor which according to various rumors will be named
MIX 2S. This
week we had a look at
what the smartphone could actually look like, as well as some
teasers coming directly from Xiaomi which probably hint at
multi-frame synthesis technology to improve image quality.
MIX 2S aside, Xiaomi also finally launched the
Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 in China. The handset does come with some key differences over the Redmi Note 5 Pro previously launched in India, so

Vivo
Just like Xiaomi, also
Vivo is on the verge of launching various interesting devices. The one that's closer to see the light of day is the
Vivo X21 which is set to launch on March 19th. Later in the month (March 27th) we will also see the next
Vivo V9 getting unveiled in India.
China's most successful company overseas - Huawei - doesn't rest neither. This week they've silently put in stores the
Huawei P20 Lite in various European countries days before its official launch date (March 20th). Meanwhile the more premium
Huawei P20 and P20 Pro have been teased again with a video that hints at incredibly advanced camera prowess, which is what we'd expect from a phone sporting 3 - yes, three - image sensors.
Meizu
Luckily for us, Meizu isn't giving up even after a long period of bad sales and is apparently already working on a
Meizu 16 Series. For those who aren't in the loop, the Chinese company is yet to unveil its
Meizu 15 Anniversary Edition in April, so this news bit was somewhat unexpected. Meizu’s founder himself -
Huang Zhang - did indeed hint at a possible upcoming flagship enlisted in the next
Meizu 16 Series which he says "he has created and its the future".
Oppo
More details about the upcoming
Oppo R15 and
Oppo F7 have surfaced this week. The first of the two is now expected to pack
Sony's best mobile image sensor to date - the Sony IMX519, which sports 1.22μm large pixels and 1/2.6-inch sensor size, meaning it'll be able to snap better photos in low light conditions. As far as the
Oppo F7 goes, the handset is set to come with a 25MP selfie camera and three variants:
F7, F7 128GB and F7 Youth edition. All of them featuring a much requested - not - top notch.
