Definition
新型 (xīn xíng) means 'new type, new kind' and is used for categories of products, materials, or technologies that are a new model or variant. It differs from 全新 (quán xīn, 'brand new, completely new'), which emphasizes something is entirely new and unused, and from 新式 (xīn shì, 'new-style'), which focuses on a new style or fashion.
