The smartphone built on the latest and most budgetary Huawei processor - MediaTek Dimensity 800 - will have 5G support. The performance of the Dimensity 800 is expected to be on par with the Snapdragon 765G, but smartphones with Huawei's SoCs will be significantly cheaper.

If all the characteristics correspond to the declared ones, then at this price Enjoy 20 Plus will be a strong competitor to most smartphones with a good camera and a powerful battery.

The Chinese manufacturer will equip its brainchild with an eight-core Snapdragon 665 processor, a Full HD + screen with a resolution of 2340 by 1080 pixels and an Adreno 610 graphics accelerator.

Resource Slashleaks has published renders of the new smartphone "Xiaomi", which allow you to evaluate the design of the novelty.
Following the mobile fashion, the smartphone has got a single "eye" in which the front camera is located, and on its back there is a horizontal block of four cameras. Presumably, it includes:

An improved modification of the flexible smartphone Huawei Mate X, based on Kirin 990 and the Mali-G76 graphics accelerator, will receive support for 5G networks, and the screen protector will become stronger.
In addition, the manufacturer has modified the hinge part of the smartphone, protecting it from the ingress of foreign particles of dust and dirt into the device.
Also, the novelty will receive 65W SuperCharge fast charging and a more capacious battery. The amount of RAM will be 8 GB.
5. Vivo APEX 2020
The cost is still unknown.
Despite the cancellation of MWC 2020, Vivo is not going to cancel the announcement of its new products. It has already confirmed that the Vivo APEX 2020 model will be showcased in China on February 28th. The poster displayed by the company shows the number "120", which could mean that the device will support 120Hz refresh rates.
The novelty will presumably have a curved display with a built-in fingerprint scanner and no hardware buttons or ports. But with a mechanically sliding selfie camera. Or perhaps the selfie camera will be located under the screen. As for the main camera, its resolution, judging by the photos leaked to the Network, will be 48 MP, we should expect 5-7x optical zoom, as well as optical stabilization.
In any case, Vivo APEX 2020 will definitely surprise geeks.
4. Line OnePlus 8, OnePlus 8 Pro and OnePlus 8 Lite
The price of the basic version will be about $ 600 or 38,259 rubles.
The OnePlus 8 lineup will be unveiled in late March or April 2020, according to unofficial sources. This could be the manufacturer's new strategy to create a wider time gap between the OnePlus 8 and the OnePlus 8T series, which is expected to arrive in the second half of the year.
OnePlus 8, 8 Pro and even the Lite version will have a green body color. And the screens of the new smartphones will support 120 Hz refresh rates. Both OnePlus 8 and 8 Pro will receive the top-end Qualcomm Snapdragon 865 chipset, but what processor the Lite version will be equipped with is still unknown.
The OnePlus 8 Pro may be the first phone from the company to have the highest dust and water resistance rating - IP68. In addition, the OnePlus 8 lineup may have support for wireless charging.
3. Realme C3
It will cost about $ 100 or 6,430 rubles.
Oppo's third generation C-series product comes with a number of outstanding features such as a stunning 6.53-inch HD + display protected by Corning Gorilla Glass 3, Android 10 OS with ColorOS 7, a new "Sunrise" design and MediaTek Helio G70 chipset.
The RAM is 3 to 4 GB and the flash memory is 32 to 64 GB. The front 5 MP camera is located in the waterdrop notch on the display and has a beauty mode.
Despite the fact that this device is made of plastic, the C3 by no means feels cheap and feels quite weighty in the hand. On the back is a vertically positioned dual-module 12/2 MP camera with LED flash. Surprisingly, you also get 2x and 4x zoom options.
But what is not at all surprising is that, due to its budget, the novelty does not have a fingerprint scanner. So with biometric authentication, its owners will be limited to the front camera.
What's really surprising is the performance of premium games like PUBG Mobile, Asphalt 9 and others. A mobile phone priced at less than 10,000 rubles easily pulls them at medium settings. And it doesn't get too hot, according to testers.
2. Honor 9X Pro
The cost of this smartphone is unknown.
One of the most anticipated Chinese smartphones of 2020 will also become the company's first mobile phone free of Google services. This is due to the fact that Huawei, the parent company of Honor, was placed on the US government sanctions list.
For Chinese users, the lack of Google Play applications will not cause any problems, since Google is still banned in the Middle Kingdom. But for Russian users it will be a real test. Whether they can withstand it, and at the same time Honor itself, time will tell.
As for the specifications, they were revealed just a few hours ago, at the Honor presentation held on the evening of February 24th. A smartphone with a 6.56-inch screen will receive the flagship Kirin 810 chip, a powerful Liquid Cooling system, a triple camera with a 48 MP main sensor and artificial intelligence technology, a pop-up front camera, 6 GB of RAM and 256 GB of flash memory.
Quite worthy characteristics that will suit both lovers of mobile games and those who need a fast device for work, on which several simultaneously running applications will "fly".
And this device also has a very beautiful iridescent back cover design.
1. Xiaomi Black Shark 3
The price has yet to be announced.
There are many Xiaomi models in the ranking of the most anticipated new products of Chinese smartphones. And not surprisingly, this manufacturer seeks to cover all segments of the mobile market, from budget to flagship. He also did not ignore gamers, for them something "tasty" is being prepared - a device that carries on board as much as 16 GB of RAM (in the maximum configuration) along with a top-end Qualcomm Snapdragon 865 processor.
And the 5000 mAh battery will allow you to enjoy your favorite game even all day long. If it does run out, it can be recharged in no time thanks to 65W fast charging.
Also from the known characteristics of Black Shark 3, we note the presence of NFC and stereo speakers, an advanced cooling system Liquid Cooling 3.0 and support for 5G networks.
The announcement of this "mobile shark" should take place on March 3, 2020.
