Phones from iQOO, Xiaomi, and other brands set to launch in February 2024
The year started off with a bang as many popular brands decided to launch their flagship products including India. We saw the launch of Samsung’s Galaxy S24 series, the OnePlus 12 series was also announced, but February is likely to be even more intense with releases as companies prepare for Mobile World Congress later next month. Brands like Nothing, Xiaomi and iQOO are reportedly having things in the coming days, and here’s a rundown of the big launches we expect to see in February 2024
The Big Phone is expected to hit the market in February 2024
Nothing Phone 2a
Nothing is rumored to work on the new affordable Phone 2a model, which is expected to be unveiled at MWC 2024 in the coming weeks. The phone 2a could be made available in two color styles: black and white.
The device comes with 8GB of RAM and 128GB of storage in the base model, and the same price could be under 400 euros, which translates to around Rs 37,000, but we expect the phone 2a to be priced closer to Rs 32,999 in India. kick off. Calculating the price range means the phone is expected to be powered by a MediaTek Dimensity 7200 chip and feature an OLED display with a 120Hz refresh rate.
iQOO Neo 9 Pro
iQOO is looking to build on the early promise that the iQOO 12 launched in December. The new iQOO Neo 9 Pro has been confirmed to launch in February for Indian buyers and the most exciting news about the device is that you will get it with the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 chipset. The iQOO Neo 9 Pro could be another aggressive offering from a brand that already has the most affordable Snapdragon 8 Gen 3-powered phone in the country.
The device is expected to feature a large 6.78-inch OLED panel with a 144Hz refresh rate. It comes with a dual rear camera consisting of a 50-megapixel Sony IMX 920 main sensor and a second 50-megapixel ultra-wide-angle unit. A 16-megapixel front-facing selfie shooter is also expected. In addition, it can be shipped with Android 14 operating system.
Honor X9b 5G
Honor is expanding its product range with the help of Htech in India by launching the Honor X9b smartphone in February. This phone focuses on a durable display, which the brand claims is strong enough to withstand bumps and even being run over by cars. The phone’s listing online suggests you’ll get it with 12GB of RAM and 256GB of storage. It’s likely to be the brand’s mid-range offering, and we’ll learn more as the release is planned.
Xiaomi 14 Ultra
Xiaomi launched the 14 series in China a couple of months ago and is expected to launch in India soon. But the brand is already looking to the future by announcing the Xiaomi 14 Ultra model, which could be part of its collection at MWC 2024 in February. The biggest highlight of the Ultra moniker is Leica’s tuned and designed cameras, which have proven their capabilities with the 12S Ultra and last year’s 13 Ultra worldwide. We expect to see more advancements in camera technology from the brand and hopefully a release schedule for India as well.
