    Honor Magic 7 Series Launch Date Revealed: Sooner Than Expected

    October is shaping up to be a competitive month for flagship smartphones. The Vivo X200 series, featuring the Dimensity 9400 chip, is anticipated to arrive in mid-October. Following that, we can expect the launch of the Xiaomi 15 series and the OnePlus 13, both powered by the Snapdragon 8 Gen 4. Now, there is another player entering the arena.

    Honor Magic 7 Series Launch Expected This Month

    According to the reliable source Digital Chat Station (DCS), the Honor Magic 7 series is set to be officially unveiled in October. This new series will also utilize the Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 chip, and DCS indicates that it will go head-to-head with the Xiaomi 15 series, which is not unexpected.

    Expected Features of the Magic 7 Series

    The Magic 7 series is likely to consist of two variants: a standard model and a Pro version. Based on current leaks, it appears that both devices will share a number of similarities. They will both be equipped with the same system on chip (SoC) and will feature a triple-camera arrangement on the back. The primary sensor is anticipated to be a 50MP Omnivision OV50H, paired with a 50-megapixel periscope telephoto camera, possibly the Sony IMX882. The third sensor may either be 50 megapixels or 200 megapixels (Samsung HP3).

    Display and Additional Features

    Both models are expected to sport OLED screens. The Pro variant is likely to feature a higher 2K resolution display, while the standard version will come with a 1.5K resolution. Previous reports have indicated that the Magic 7 Pro will also support satellite connectivity.

    In addition to these features, the smartphones are expected to have IP68/69 water resistance, an ultrasonic fingerprint reader, and 2D face recognition. They will also include Honor’s enhanced eye protection 3.0 technology.

    At the IFA Berlin event this year, Honor confirmed that the Magic 7 series will debut with an AI Agent. This personal on-device AI assistant is designed to adapt to user habits and device environments, enabling it to automate tasks intelligently across various applications and services.

    Xiaomi 15-Series Battery Specs Leak Challenges Upgrade Rumors

    Xiaomi has recently registered a new device in China with the 3C safety regulator, as reported by the well-known leaker Digital Chat Station. The device is 5G compatible and utilizes the company’s older MDY-14 90W power adapter.

    Disappointment for Flagship Fans

    This information could be disheartening for fans eagerly awaiting Xiaomi’s flagship models. The leaker claims that the device, identified by the model number 24129PN74C, is set to be the successor to the standard Xiaomi 14. This new revelation contradicts previous leaks that indicated the Xiaomi 15 would finally see an upgrade in its wired charging capabilities in 2024.

    Battery and Charging Specifications

    Additionally, the Xiaomi 15 is expected to have enhancements in battery size, but given this new information, it may not offer faster charging speeds. In a separate, more enigmatic post on Weibo, Digital Chat Station mentioned a dual-cell battery with a capacity of 2,980mAh, which totals a rated capacity of 5,960mAh and a typical capacity of 6,100mAh.

    The mention of a "120W" charging speed, similar to that of the 14 Pro (currently priced at $769.50 on Amazon), suggests that this tip may actually pertain to the Pro version of the Xiaomi 15.

    Xiaomi 15 to Keep 6.36-Inch Flat Display: Insider Tip

    Xiaomi made a shift to a 6.36-inch display for Xiaomi 13 from the previous 6.28-inch panel on Xiaomi 12. The next in line, Xiaomi 14, maintains the same screen size with varying specifications.

    Xiaomi 15 Display Details

    A reliable source indicates that Xiaomi's upcoming model, the Xiaomi 15, will also sport a 6.36-inch flat display. However, specific details about this screen are yet to be disclosed.

    Speculations on Xiaomi 15 Display

    Given the differing specifications of the screens on the last two models despite their identical sizes, it is plausible that the display on the upcoming Xiaomi 15 could offer new features. Early leaks suggest that the next-gen handset might integrate a single-point ultrasonic fingerprint solution from Goodix.

    Screen Comparison and Features

    The Xiaomi 14 features a display resolution of 2670 x 1200 pixels (1.5K), higher than the FHD+ resolution of Xiaomi 13 at 1080 x 2400 pixels. Consequently, the newer model boasts a sharper screen with 460 PPI compared to the 414 PPI of its predecessor. The Xiaomi 14's screen utilizes LTPO technology (1-120Hz) and achieves a local peak brightness of 3000 nits, surpassing the 1900 nits peak brightness of the older device.

    Both models are capable of playing Dolby Vision content, although they are safeguarded by different glass technologies. Xiaomi 14 employs Corning Gorilla Glass Victus, while Xiaomi 13 is equipped with Gorilla Glass 5.

    Future Outlook

    The Xiaomi 15 is anticipated to commence mass production in September. Further details regarding the device are expected to surface in the upcoming months. Reports suggest that the device will be powered by a Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 chip and is likely to feature a larger battery capacity than its predecessor.
