Lei Jun, Yu Chengdong, OPPO, and vivo are all making major moves: Spring has sprung for the tech industry in 2025!

Yesterday, Lei Jun became a hot topic in the tech circle after his suggestion to redesign new energy vehicle license plates gained widespread online support. Today, he further ignited attention by appearing in interviews with authoritative media outlets like CCTV News, Xinhua News Agency, and People's Daily. In the interviews, Lei Jun emphasized how technological innovation drives Chinese manufacturing, detailing Xiaomi's R&D investment over the past five years and its achievements in mobile phones and automobiles. He highlighted that Xiaomi phones have held the global third position for 18 consecutive months, with one out of every seven phones sold globally being a Xiaomi phone last year; and that Xiaomi's first SUV, the SU7, achieved the remarkable feat of delivering 135,000 units in just nine months. Lei Jun stated that Xiaomi will continue to increase R&D investment, focusing on core technologies to contribute to Chinese manufacturing.

Simultaneously with Lei Jun's high-profile media appearances and online discussions, another tech giant, Yu Chengdong, released a short video previewing major upcoming products from Huawei's HarmonyOS smart driving division: the AITO M8 and AITO M9. While Yu Chengdong didn't disclose specific launch dates, only mentioning one launch this month and the other next month, he hinted at more "king bomb" products yet to be unveiled, leaving the market in suspense. This foreshadows intense competition in the Chinese automotive market, mirroring the fierce battles of the Chinese smartphone market in the past. In 2025, major products from various manufacturers are poised for launch, setting the stage for a spectacular showdown.

While OPPO hasn't released major news, its Find series product manager continues to build anticipation for the OPPO Find X8 Ultra, while third-party channels have reported that the starting price of the OPPO Find X8 has dropped below 3100 yuan. This isn't an official price cut, but rather the result of government subsidies combined with various promotional offers, with some channels offering 24-month interest-free payment plans, making it extremely attractive. Consumers can choose to buy now, or wait for the OPPO Find X8S series, featuring the Dimensity 9400+, launching later this month, as minor iterative updates from both OPPO and vivo are expected to be commercially available in April.

vivo, despite a relatively quiet period recently, quietly launched a new phone today the vivo Y300i. The official promotion highlights its more shatter-resistant screen, slim body, and long battery life, with a scheduled release date of March 14th. However, the official price and detailed specifications remain undisclosed, awaiting revelation on March 14th.

The smartphone and automotive sectors have shown significant activity since the beginning of this month. Beyond the domestic market news, MWC 2025 is underway, attracting numerous Chinese tech brands, with extensive media coverage.

Lei Jun's interview underscored Xiaomi's contribution to technological innovation and Chinese manufacturing. The company's 18 consecutive months holding the third global spot in phone sales and the rapid delivery of the SU7 showcased Xiaomi's strength and efficient execution. Lei Jun's commitment to future R&D investment reflects Xiaomi's determination to continue innovating. This isn't merely Xiaomi's success, but also represents the rising competitiveness of Chinese tech companies in the global market.

Yu Chengdong's preview injected new energy into the upcoming automotive market competition. The "king bomb" combination of the AITO M8 and AITO M9, along with Yu Chengdong's hinted-at additional products, demonstrates Huawei's ambition and strength in the automotive sector. This competition is not just between automakers, but also a contest of technological prowess, directly influencing the future direction of the Chinese automotive industry.

The price reduction of the OPPO Find X8, and the hype surrounding the Find X8 Ultra, reflect OPPO's strategic adjustments in the market competition. Through price advantages and product iterations, OPPO aims to secure a favorable position in the fierce market. Coupled with the upcoming release of minor iterative products from both OPPO and vivo, it showcases the manufacturers rapid response capabilities in product upgrades.

vivo's low-key launch of the Y300i demonstrates its strategic focus on niche markets. While official information is limited, it suggests that vivo will offer products across various price points to meet diverse consumer needs.

In summary, from Lei Jun's statements at the representative's channel to Yu Chengdong's announcements and the actions of OPPO and vivo, it's clear that 2025 will see a vibrant and competitive spring for the Chinese tech industry, especially in the smartphone and automotive sectors. Major manufacturers are actively positioning themselves, continuously launching new products, and improving their technological capabilities to offer consumers more choices and better experiences. This is not only competition between companies, but also a reflection of China's growing technological strength, injecting new momentum into the country's economic development. The holding of MWC 2025 further proves the increasing influence of Chinese tech companies on the global stage. In the future, we look forward to seeing more Chinese tech companies achieve greater success in the global market. This technological feast has only just begun. Let's wait and see how these tech giants will continue to lead industry development and bring more surprises to consumers. 2025 is destined to become a significant milestone in the history of Chinese technological development.
