While manufacturers like OnePlus, Oppo, and Vivo are ready to release their next-generation smartphones, the Snapdragon 8 Elite 2 and Dimensity 9500 chipsets are on the horizon. Future gadgets, purportedly the Vivo X300 Pro, Oppo Find X9, and OnePlus 15, have now obtained 3C approval in China.
Two new flagship chipsets, the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Elite 2 and the MediaTek Dimensity 9500, are anticipated to be released later this month (September 2025). It is anticipated that Chinese manufacturers such as Xiaomi, Oppo, Vivo, and OnePlus will be among the first to produce smartphones with the new chipsets. In China, three of these flagship gadgets have already been certified 3C.
The smartphones that gained 3C certification include apparently the OnePlus 15, Vivo X300 Pro, and Oppo Find X9. It is anticipated that the Snapdragon 8 Elite 2 chipset would power the OnePlus 15. It has surfaced on the 3C certification site with model number PLK110, and shows that it will ship with a 120W charger.
In the meantime, the MediaTek Dimensity 9500 processor is anticipated to power the Vivo X300 Pro and Oppo Find X9. The devices, which have model codes V2502A and PLJ110, respectively, have been certified on the 3C certification portal. A 90W charger might be included with the Vivo X300 Pro, and an 80W charger might be included with the Oppo Find X9.
It is anticipated that Chinese smartphone manufacturers would introduce the new flagship chipsets in October after MediaTek and Qualcomm announced them in late September. Global launches, however, might—and probably will—occur weeks or months later.
