3 BIG smartphone launches happening TODAY! On February 9, you will witness some high-profile launches from Xiaomi, Vivo and Samsung. Samsung’s Galaxy S22 series has been long in the making and is finally going to be revealed later today as the iPhone 13’s next biggest rival. However, if you are waiting for launches in the affordable segment, there are three new phones coming from Xiaomi and Vivo.

Xiaomi is releasing two new Redmi Note 11 series models in India, adding to the Redmi Note 11T 5G that launched last November. Vivo, on the other hand, is debuting its new Vivo T series smartphones, starting with the Vivo T1 5G. Keep an eye out for all details as these phones launch simultaneously at similar times.

Xiaomi is adding two new models to the Redmi Note 11 series ever since the Note 11T broke cover. The Redmi Note 11 and Redmi Note 11S will be 4G-only phones, and have already debuted globally. Basic upgrades over last year include a 90Hz AMOLED display, new chipsets for both models, and a new main camera for the Note 11S. Both phones are also expected to debut Xiaomi’s MIUI 13 skin in India, although it remains to be seen whether they launch with Android 12.

Vivo debuts its new midrange series in India with the Vivo T1 5G. Vivo has so far revealed a lot about the phone, including its new design as well as some specifications. The T1 5G will rely on the Snapdragon 695 5G chip, offer a 120Hz refresh rate display, and a 50MP main rear camera.
