No less than five phones from Redmi, Realme, and OPPO will be announced next week. Most of these phones will just be making their debut while others have been announced earlier but are heading to new markets. There will also be a handful of other products such as headphones and speakers from these brands.

Xiaomi – New Earphones and Bluetooth Speaker

Xiaomi will kick off the week with the launch of two new audio products in India. The manufacturer announced earlier this month that it will announce the products on Monday, February 22. From the teasers provided, we have been able to deduce that the two products are a pair of neckband-style earphones and a Bluetooth speaker. The teaser below for the former hints at it having noise cancellation.
