The news that the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology has studied and promoted eSIM technology indicates the possibility of online mobile phones without cartoon calls in China. Which manufacturer will launch a mobile phone equipped with this technology has become the biggest suspense.
Let’s make an irresponsible guess, and talk about which brand flagship will take the lead in eSIM.
The earliest arrangement: Xiaomi 14 Ultra or Huawei Mate 60 Pro+
According to the rhythm, Xiaomi and Huawei flagships are most likely to launch eSIM technology first. Xiaomi has precedents for the 11 series, while Huawei is deeply engaged in communication technology and in-depth cooperation with operators, which has the possibility of first launch.
The models that are speculated are mobile phones that will not be available next year or even two years later, because considering the research and development and testing cycle of eSIM technology, the commercialization speed will not be slow in one year. If Huawei Mate 60 Pro+ is available next year, it will compete with the iPhone 15 series, and there may be a new Kirin core to refresh the domestic flagship experience.
and Xiaomi 14 Ultra is likely to debut in the first quarter of 2024. It is not ruled out that the 13 Ultra will start early, and it will bring users new perceptions of cartoon-free calls earlier.
actively follow up: OPPO Find X7 Pro and vivo NEX 4
are both flagships to be launched in 2023. It is also very likely that OPPO Find X7 Pro will use eSIM technology, and vivo will also be launched simultaneously, but the technology is the vivo X series flagship or the long-silent NEX series first released, and I personally prefer the latter.
OPPO Find X7 Pro and vivo NEX 4 are expected to be equipped with Snapdragon 8 Gen3 processor, TSMC's 3nm process, 1+3+4 combination, and Cortex-X4 with a large core as the main frequency of 3.4Ghz. Of course, the above are all guesses. However, the specifications of mobile phone screens and images will inevitably not be behind. The Samsung E-series screen + self-developed chip combination will increase the display effect and video shooting level of mobile phones, and may become a new benchmark in the industry.
At present, OPPO self-developed chip Mariana X is the first generation. Considering that OPPO Find X6 Pro is about to be released soon, it is not ruled out that the X7 Pro adopts the third-generation Mariana X chip. Vivo's self-developed chips may also be updated to V2+ or V3, which will go a step further in frame insertion and shooting optimization.
Under the leadership of the four major mobile phone brands, other manufacturers will also quickly follow up on eSIM functions, such as Honor , ZTE , Nubia , Motorola , Meizu , etc. The cartoon-free technology will further save the body space and make the placement of larger batteries and even other components. The launch of new technologies usually starts with flagships. I hope that the online technology without cartoon calls can be fully popularized in 2025!
