Although the Mobile World Congress annually held in 2020 was canceled due to coronavirus, we do not consider this a reason to deprive you of acquaintance with interesting models of mobile phones.
We already wrote about the most anticipated news of 2020, and now we’ll tell you about what manufacturers of Chinese smartphones will please gadget fans this year. Some of the most anticipated new products of Chinese smartphones in 2020 have already appeared on sale on AliExpress.
12. Huawei Enjoy 20 Plus
Price - 270 dollars (19 945 rubles).
The smartphone, built on Huawei's latest and most low-cost processor - MediaTek Dimensity 800 - will have 5G support. It is expected that the performance of the Dimensity 800 will be at the level of Snapdragon 765G, but at the same time smartphones with SoC from Huawei will be significantly cheaper.
According to unofficial data, Enjoy 20 Plus will get a Full HD + screen, a 16 MP front camera and a main camera with 4 modules:
- 48 MP;
- 8 MP;
- 2 MP;
- 2 MP.
All this will be powered by a powerful 4200 mAh battery, with a quick charge function of 22.5 watts. The amount of RAM will be 8 GB, and flash memory - 128 GB. Audiophiles will certainly appreciate the news that this model will have a 3.5 mm headphone jack.
If all the specifications correspond to the declared ones, then at such a price Enjoy 20 Plus will be in strong competition with most smartphones with a good camera and a powerful battery.
11. Vivo X50 Lite
The cost has not yet been announced.
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.
It also became known that the RAM of the smartphone will be 8 GB, and it will run on Android 10. The front camera will be placed in a small circular neckline on the display, but its resolution, as well as the number of modules of the main camera, are still kept secret.
10. Xiaomi Redmi Note 9 Pro
Price unknown.
Resource Slashleaks has published renders of the new Xiaomi smartphone, which allow you to evaluate the design of the new product.
Following the mobile fashion, the smartphone got the only “eye” in which the front camera is located, and on its back there is a horizontal block of four cameras. Presumably, it includes:
- 64 MP main sensor;
- wide-angle sensor;
- sensor for macro photography;
- a sensor that collects data about the depth of the scene.
The smartphone will be based on the MediaTek Dimensity 800 platform, which provides high performance, and will receive a screen with Full HD + resolution and a 5000 mAh battery.
Note 9 Pro will have a younger brother Note 9, whose chip will be worse - Snapdragon 720, and the resolution of the main camera sensor will not be 64 MP, but 48 MP. Support for 5G networks in both models is not announced.
There is also interesting information about the fact that both new products may come out under a new name, but here's how - for now a secret.
9. OPPO Find X2
Estimated cost - $ 500 (31,815 rubles).
The flagship smartphone OPPO will be one of the first devices with the Snapdragon 865 chipset paired with the Adreno 650 graphics accelerator. It will receive a curved 6.5-inch AMOLED display with a refresh rate of 120 Hz, fast and wireless charging. The top version will have 12 GB of RAM, the basic version - 8 GB. And both versions will receive 256 GB of flash memory standard UFS 3.0.

8. Realme X50 Pro 5G
The cost is unknown.
This is an updated version of the X50 5G - the first Realme smartphone with support for 5G networks. Being the flagship model, the Pro version, according to insider information, will receive a Qualcomm Snapdragon 865 processor, a Snapdragon X55 5G modem, two sim card slots, as well as 12 GB of RAM and 256 GB of internal storage. It will run on Android 10 with proprietary Realme UI firmware.
An interesting feature of the model will be a dual front camera 32/8 MP. The main IMX616 sensor will be with an 80-degree field of view. The second has a field of view of 105 degrees and supports the function of correction of deformations at the edges of the frame.
On the rear panel is a triple camera 64/8/13 MP camera with portrait mode, 5x optical zoom and 20x hybrid zoom.
Given the habit of Realme to produce not too expensive and at the same time high-quality smartphones, we can expect that its 2020 mobile novelty will compete with models from Xiaomi and other recognized Chinese brands.
7. Xiaomi Mi 10 Series
Price - from 599 dollars (37 859 rubles) to 846 dollars (54 thousand rubles).
The range of new Xiaomi smartphones will be equipped with the latest and top Snapdragon 865 chipset, a 6.67-inch AMOLED screen with a refresh rate of 90 Hz, and also supports 30W fast charging (the Pro model has 50W) and 10W reverse wireless charging.

The batteries of the Pro and the regular version will have a capacity of 4500 mAh and 4780 mAh, respectively.
6. Huawei Mate Xs
How much it will cost is unknown.
An improved modification of the flexible smartphone Huawei Mate X, based on the Kirin 990 and the Mali-G76 graphics accelerator, will receive support for 5G networks, and the screen protective film will become stronger.
In addition, the manufacturer finalized 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 fast charging SuperCharge with a power of 65W 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. She has already confirmed that the Vivo APEX 2020 will be demonstrated in China on February 28th. On the poster presented by the company, the number “120” is visible, which may mean that the device will have support for a refresh rate of 120 Hz.
The novelty, presumably, will have a curved display with a built-in fingerprint scanner and without any hardware buttons and ports. But with a mechanically moving selfie camera. Or maybe 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, the Vivo APEX 2020 will definitely surprise geeks.
4. The line of OnePlus 8, OnePlus 8 Pro and OnePlus 8 Lite
The price of the basic version will be about $ 600 or 38,259 rubles.
According to unofficial sources, the OnePlus 8 line will be presented at the end of March or in April 2020. 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 appear 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 new smartphones will support a 120 Hz refresh rate. Both OnePlus 8 and 8 Pro will receive the top Qualcomm Snapdragon 865 chipset, but it is still unknown what processor will be equipped with the Lite version.
OnePlus 8 Pro may be the company's first phone to have the highest dust and water protection rating - IP68. In addition, the OnePlus 8 line may appear to support wireless charging.
3. Realme C3
It will cost about 100 dollars or 6,430 rubles.
The third-generation C-series product from the Oppo sub-brand comes with a number of outstanding features such as a gorgeous 6.53-inch HD + display, Corning Gorilla Glass 3 protected, Android 10 OS with ColorOS 7 shell, new Sunrise design and MediaTek Helio G70 chipset.
The amount of RAM is from 3 to 4 GB, the amount of flash memory is from 32 to 64 GB. The front 5 MP camera is located in the drop-shaped cutout on the display and has a beauty mode.
Despite the fact that this unit is made of plastic, the C3 is by no means felt cheap and quite weighty in the hand. On the rear panel is a vertically located dual-module 12/2 MP camera with LED flash. Surprisingly, you also get the option of 2x and 4x magnification.
But what does not surprise at all is that, because of its budget, the novelty does not have a fingerprint scanner. So with biometric authentication, its owners will be limited to the front camera.
What really surprises is the performance of premium games such as PUBG Mobile, Asphalt 9 and others. A mobile phone at a price of less than 10,000 rubles easily pulls them on average settings. And it does not get too hot, according to testers.
2. Honor 9X Pro
The cost of this smartphone is unknown.
One of the most anticipated Chinese smartphones in 2020 will also be the company's first mobile phone free from Google services. This is due to the fact that Huawei, the parent company of Honor, was put on the sanctions list of the US government.
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 this 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, which took place on the evening of February 24th. The smartphone with a 6.56-inch screen will receive the Kirin 810 flagship chip, a powerful Liquid Cooling cooling system, a triple camera with 48 MP main sensor and artificial intelligence technology, a retractable front camera, 6 GB of RAM and 256 GB of flash memory.
It’s quite worthy of characteristics that will suit both lovers of mobile games and those who need a fast device to work on, which will run several applications running simultaneously.
And this device has a very beautiful iridescent design of the back cover.
1. Xiaomi Black Shark 3
The price has not yet been announced.
In the ranking of the most anticipated new products of Chinese smartphones, there are a lot of Xiaomi models. And not surprisingly, this manufacturer seeks to cover all segments of the mobile market, from budget to flagship. He did not ignore gamers as well, something “tasty” is being prepared for them - a device that carries as much as 16 GB of RAM (in the maximum configuration) along with the top-end Qualcomm Snapdragon 865 processor.
A battery with a capacity of 5000 mAh will allow you to enjoy your favorite game at least all day. If it is still discharged, it can be charged “in no time” thanks to a fast charge of 65 watts.
Also of the known characteristics of Black Shark 3, we note the presence of NFC and stereo speakers, the 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.
