Monday's Mobile Phone Industry Exploded: Xiaomi's Car Sales Soar, Huawei Unveils Mysterious New Product, OPPO Pushes Boundaries, and iPhone 17 Molds Leak

Mondays seem to be the day when mobile phone manufacturers collectively release significant news, and this week was no exception. Xiaomi, Huawei, OPPO, and Apple all dropped major bombshells, sparking industry-wide discussions. Let's recap the highlights of this week's mobile phone news.

Xiaomi: Booming Car Business and Dominant Smartphone Sales

Xiaomi added 19,000 car orders last week, with over 10,000 new orders for the Xiaomi SU7 Ultra this month alone. This marks the second consecutive week Xiaomi has seen 19,000 new car orders, indicating soaring demand and an increasingly severe supply shortage. This booming sales performance has even led to online jokes calling Lei Jun, Xiaomi's CEO, the "King of Backlogs" due to the extended delivery times.

Beyond its impressive automotive performance, Xiaomi's smartphone sales also delivered outstanding results. Data shows Xiaomi achieved the highest domestic activation rate for week 10, with the Xiaomi 15 Ultra, positioned as a high-end device, securing second place in single-product sales. Its sales even surpassed many mid-to-low-end models, demonstrating its powerful market competitiveness. Furthermore, the Redmi K80 series also saw significant activations, with the combined activations of both models nearly exceeding the total activations of six models from OnePlus and iQOO, further solidifying Xiaomi's market leadership.

Huawei: Yu Chengdong's Mysterious Video Teases a Groundbreaking New Product

A video released by Huawei's Yu Chengdong sparked widespread online discussion, becoming one of the week's most talked-about topics in the mobile phone industry. The video subtly revealed a product that "competitors wouldn't even dare to imagine," emphasizing that it's "definitely a phone, but more than just a phone." This suggests the product may possess entirely new functionalities and experiences beyond those of current smartphones, perhaps a new form factor that incorporates smartphone capabilities.

Industry speculation points to a phone with an unprecedented aspect ratio and a top-and-bottom folding design, promising innovative interaction. Yu Chengdong's move is undoubtedly a publicity stunt for the March 20th launch event, maximizing anticipation and generating intense excitement for this mysterious new product.

OPPO: Find X8s Officially Confirmed, Challenging the World's Narrowest Bezels

OPPO unexpectedly confirmed the arrival of the Find X8s this week, generating significant buzz with its official statement: "From the narrowest in Android to the narrowest in the world, the world's narrowest four-sided equal-width bezel OPPO Find X8s is here!" OPPO's ability to achieve the world's narrowest bezels is attributed to its self-developed next-generation chip-level screen packaging technology. This technology aims to push industry limits, with the bezel width expected to be under 1.4mm.

Industry insiders believe the OPPO Find X8s will likely be OPPO's first truly compact smartphone. The device is expected to feature the MediaTek Dimensity 9400+ processor, a 6.31-inch flat display, and advanced imaging, wireless, and ultrasonic capabilities, making it a well-rounded compact flagship.

Apple: iPhone 17 Full Lineup Molds Appear, iOS 19 Major Overhaul

Apple also delivered major news with the appearance of iPhone 17 molds for the entire lineup, signifying the finalization of the iPhone 17 series' design. Regardless of external opinions, Apple remains consistent with its unique style.

Meanwhile, industry sources indicate iOS 19 will be the most significant system update since iOS 17, especially with substantial changes to the user interface. Apple aims to create a consistent interface and interaction experience across all product lines, further improving user experience consistency and convenience.

vivo and Honor: Relatively Quiet, Poised for Action

Unlike the flurry of releases from other manufacturers, vivo and Honor maintained a relatively low profile this week. Although rumors suggest vivo will launch new products in April, with some leaked information about new phones, specific details remain undisclosed. Honor, since MWC 2025, has primarily focused on a new laptop announcement and hasn't released significant news. This might suggest both manufacturers are actively preparing for their next product launches, building momentum for future market competition.

In conclusion, Monday's mobile phone industry was exceptionally lively, with manufacturers showcasing their "trump cards" to heat up the upcoming market competition. The ongoing success of Xiaomi's electric vehicles, the intrigue surrounding Huawei's mystery product, OPPO Find X8s' pursuit of perfection, and the impending arrival of the iPhone 17 series will all significantly impact the mobile phone market landscape. Over the coming week, let's wait and see the final unveiling of these new products and their market performance.
