Brothers, I really didn’t expect that the competition between new phones at the end of the year would be so intense.
Take Redmi as an example. In the past few days, in addition to the official warm-up on its own, it has also been communicating with friends and vendors about new machines.
first shouted the slogan "Farewell to e-sports mobile phones". The meaning is obvious. The performance experience of the K series exceeds that of e-sports mobile phones.

However, Red Magic immediately followed, indicating that e-sports version mobile phone ≠ e-sports mobile phone, what we have to say goodbye to is "e-sports version mobile phone".
Don’t mention it. As a manufacturer that has focused on gaming mobile phones and for many years, the Red Devils are not unqualified to say this.

The Red Devils’ wave of “rebellion” is not over yet. No, Redmi has just released the 11 e-sports mobile phone with its friend.
"Performance competes in the arena", this time the protagonist K60 Pro, the 11 e-sports phone of a friend is probably the iQOO 11.

There is a saying that at the price of 2000-3000 yuan, the Redmi K series has indeed been a "soldier" for several years.
But other manufacturers see this cake and are greedy in their hearts. Realme and iQOO also launched mobile phones to get a share of the pie.
In addition to the Realme GT Neo5 we talked about a while ago, iQOO and OnePlus have also prepared killer features at the same price.
As for whether it can successfully challenge the status of the K60 in the performance universe, today I will help my friends take stock.
After all, not everyone is interested in Redmi and MIUI. It is always good to have multiple brands and multiple choices.

iQOO Neo7 racing version
In October this year, iQOO released Neo7, and in early December, iQOO released Neo 7 SE.
Although these two are matryoshka doll machines, it is obvious that iQOO has no intention of stopping. The iQOO Neo 7 racing version is here!
Since it is a matryoshka doll machine, there is no suspense in appearance. The Neo 7 racing version looks exactly like the two previous brothers.
iQOO has released official renderings. The aesthetics are different. Friends can take a sneak peek ~

iQOO The Neo series has always focused on performance and fast charging, and this wave of Neo 7 Racing Edition is no exception, and even stronger.
Judging from the official promotion, the new phone will be equipped with Snapdragon 8+ processor. Please note that this is the 3.2GHz full-blooded version.
is also equipped with LPDDR5 memory and overclocked UFS 3.1 storage. There is no need to worry about performance.

There is also an independent display chip Pro+ on Neo 7. The racing version is also arranged, with high frame rate and low power consumption.

Comparing the Dimensity 9000+ and 8200 equipped with Neo 7 and Neo 7 SE, the racing version is indeed worthy of its name.
In addition, the Neo 7 racing version also follows the trend of large storage and adds a 16+512GB large memory version.

As for other configurations, the racing version is basically the same as Neo 7. Let’s briefly go over the parameters~
And the combination of 5000mAh large battery + 120W fast charging guarantees both battery life and blood replenishment.
In terms of imaging, the new phone will be equipped with a 50-megapixel IMX766V (OIS) main camera + 8-megapixel ultra-wide-angle + 2-megapixel macro lens, and the front camera will be a 16-megapixel center-punch lens.
Finally, dual X-axis linear motors, stereo dual speakers, NFC, infrared remote control and other configurations are available.
Although the appearance of the matryoshka doll machine has not changed, as long as the price is good enough, the Neo 7 racing version is still competitive.
OnePlus Ace 2
OnePlus also has new moves, OnePlus Ace 2 also has the latest news, here, the renderings have also been exposed. Judging from the renderings of
, the appearance design of the new phone is basically the same as that of the previous generation. The back has a left and right split and spliced design.

OnePlus Ace 2 will be equipped with Snapdragon 8+ processor and equipped with 8/12/16GB + 128/256GB storage combination. The front of
is a 6.7-inch AMOLED display with 1.5K resolution and supports 120Hz refresh rate.
has three rear cameras: 50-megapixel IMX890 main camera + 8-megapixel ultra-wide-angle + 2-megapixel macro lens, and the front camera is 16-megapixel.
I guess it’s due to the increased battery capacity, but it’s hard to give up. 100W fast charging is enough for daily use.

If nothing else goes wrong, OnePlus Ace 2 will also be priced at 2000-3000, competing with new phones from Redmi and iQOO.
However, after accepting the “tens of billions subsidy” from OPPO, OnePlus may be able to lower the price of the new phone this time.
Currently, the release time of OnePlus Ace 2 has not been determined, so we will have to wait for a while.
Lenovo ThinkPhone
interrupted a piece of news. Recently, in addition to the two new phones iQOO and OnePlus, Brother Dong discovered that Lenovo is preparing to tinker with new phones.
According to foreign media reports, Lenovo will launch a ThinkPhone model, and the renderings have also been exposed a few days ago.

Lenovo now has two brands: Savior and Motorola , focusing on the gaming and cost-effective markets respectively.
wants to launch ThinkPhone this time, and Brother understands that he may also want to cooperate with ThinkPad to harvest business people.
Okay, the above three new machines are the relatively popular models that I have noticed recently.
Some of them are born to benchmark Redmi K60, while others want to develop their own new product lines.
However, the news is the news. Whether these mobile phones can play games depends on the final configuration and pricing.
I also hope that manufacturers can compete in a healthy manner and launch more affordable and high-quality mobile phones, which will benefit us consumers.
