The New Year is approaching, and I believe you have seen a lot of various "New Year's product recommendations" recently, and you have also gained a little inspiration when shopping in the New Year. But for the "mobile phone circle" with faster iteration, if you are not in a hurry to change your phone during the Spring Festival holiday, you might as well wait for a while and wait for those new products that will be launched after the holiday.
Combined with the recent ** news, the Spring Festival holiday is more like a short "technical break" for the mobile phone circle, and after the holiday, there will be a large wave of blockbuster new machines to meet the majority of users.
Shoot the first shot of the Year of the Dragon with a small fold
According to Chinese customs, only after the Spring Festival is the official entry into the new year. And the first new machine that will meet us in the Year of the Dragon is likely to be Huawei's new folding screen mobile phone.
Recently, some netizens broke the news that Huawei is about to launch a new clamshell folding screen mobile phone in February, which is commonly known as "small folding". According to the positioning of previous years, this new phone is likely to belong to the Pocket series, and it is also a small folding new machine launched again after Huawei launched the Pocket S in 2022.
It is understood that the internal code name of this new machine is "LEM", which may be equipped with Kirin chips and support 5G networks. Its positioning is probably similar to that of the Nova series, so its performance in terms of exterior design and image is undoubtedly more worth looking forward to.
According to convention, the new Huawei Pocket series products will most likely be equipped with HarmonyOS 4, and the blessing of a large number of smart functions will also make the daily use experience of this folding screen more suitable for users. At the same time, the new phone may have the blessing of HarmonyOS command communication, such as weak signal enhancement mode and congestion signal gain technology, etc., which can also ensure that users still have stable signal performance in poor signal environments.
In the field of small folding, Huawei has launched only two products: P50 Pocket and Pocket S, but with only two models, Huawei has won 29 in China's small folding market in 20236% market share, it can be seen that Huawei's small folding is still attractive enough. And in 2024, Huawei will also return with a new small folding model, which is believed to be welcomed by more users.
The third-generation Snapdragon 8 fold is about to be unveiled
Compared with the small folding, the large folding model that focuses on thinness and all-round is also the favorite of many users. According to the recent **, the first large folding model to meet us in 2024 is likely to be vivo X fold3. It has been reported that this large folding model will be officially released in March this year, and this year vivo will also bring two large folding products at one time, covering different price segments to meet the needs of different consumers, and then realize the popularity of folding screen mobile phones.
This year's vivo X Fold3 series will optimize the shortcomings of the previous vivo folding screen mobile phones. It is understood that this year's two large folding products are divided into vivo x fold3 and vivo x fold3 pro, of which vivo x fold3 standard version is equipped with the second-generation snapdragon 8 mobile platform, and the weight is light and thin in folding screen mobile phones. The Vivo X Fold3 Pro will be equipped with the third-generation Snapdragon 8 mobile platform, and will also be the industry's first large folding model with Snapdragon 8 Gen 3.
At the image level, the vivo X Fold3 Pro is obviously more interesting, including a stronger wide-angle lens and a periscope lens, which will appear in this folding screen phone, and there is even news that the imaging capabilities of the new phone are enough to challenge the vivo X100 Pro.
Drop the periscope lens further
With the increasing maturity of the periscope lens, this lens with a better shooting experience is no longer exclusive to flagship models, and more and more mid-range models will also present users with a better shooting experience with the help of this lens.
Recently, realme officially announced that it will hold a new product launch conference in February to officially release the realme 12 Pro series. According to the official poster, the realme 12 Pro series features a stronger image system, through a 64 million pixel super light and shadow periscope telephoto lens, bringing an unprecedented flagship shooting experience in the same class.
In addition, it can also be seen from the "120x" in the poster that the realme 12 Pro series supports up to 120x digital zoom, and the telephoto ability is quite strong.
In recent years, Realme has made frequent moves and has also gained the affirmation of many users. Realme 11 Pro+ in the 2000 yuan price segment, by carrying a 200 million pixel main camera, to achieve the popularity of high-pixel images; Realme GT5 Pro has become a pretty popular product with its IMX890 super light periscope telephoto, the third-generation Snapdragon 8 mobile platform, and the early 3000s**. From this point of view, the new realme 12 Pro series is also a product worth looking forward to.
The new iPad and MacBook Air are about to be unveiled
According to foreign media reports, Apple may launch a new iPad Air, iPad Pro and MacBook Air around the end of March. According to the leaks, the new iPad Air is a product worth looking forward to, and Apple will add 12 to the Air series for the first timeA version with a 9-inch screen while retaining 109-inch version.
The iPad Air will adopt 129-inch screen In terms of hardware, the next iPad Air will be powered by the M2 chip, but the exterior design will not change significantly.
As for the iPad Pro, it will be upgraded to an OLED screen as well as the latest M3 chip. Compared with LCD screens, OLED screens are able to provide higher brightness, more vivid colors, higher contrast ratio, and lower power consumption. In addition, thanks to the addition of LTPO technology, the battery life of the new iPad Pro may be more advantageous.
Of course, the price of the next iPad Pro may be higher due to the OLED screen.
As for the new MacBook Air, it will be equipped with the latest M3 chip, while continuing the previous design language. Thanks to the new chip, the next-generation MacBook Air models will have ray tracing and a decent gaming experience. Considering that it's been a year and a half since the 13-inch MacBook Air was released, users who are ready to replace their 13-inch laptops might as well wait a little longer.
Write at the end
After the Spring Festival holiday, there will be many exciting new products in the mobile phone circle. It is said that buying new rather than buying old ones, perhaps waiting for new products after the Spring Festival will be a wiser choice. Let's look forward to the performance of these new machines and add a touch of technology to the new year. I also wish everyone in the new year to be able to experience more convenience and fun of science and technology through these fine products.
