There are going to be 3 launch events next week. One of them will take place in India, while the remaining two will be held in China. As far as the devices are concerned, a total of 4 phones are expected. There will be a single entry-level, whereas the others will be mid-rangers.
Talking about brands, the three separate events will be headed by Xiaomi, Realme, and Oneplus respectively. With that out of the way, let’s take a look at all these upcoming smartphones one by one.
Upcoming Smartphones Next Week
1. Redmi 10A
At the end of March, the Redmi 10A made its initial debut in China. The entry-level smartphone is now heading to India on April 20 (Wednesday). Though Xiaomi hasn’t revealed the timing for the virtual event yet, we can expect it to begin at 12 PM on Redmi India’s official YouTube channel.
The Redmi 10A is almost the same as the Redmi 9A from 2020. The only major difference between the two is the presence of a rear-mounted fingerprint sensor on the newer model, in addition to a slightly tweaked back design.
The device comes with a 6.53-inch HD+ display (LCD), MediaTek Helio G25 SoC, 13MP rear camera, 5MP selfie camera, MicroSD card slot, 3.5mm headphone jack, MicroUSB port, 5,000mAh battery, and 10W charging support.
2. Realme Q5 Series
Realme has scheduled a launch event in China for April 20 (Wednesday) at 2 PM CST. The company has confirmed to announce the Realme Q5 series at this conference. According to teasers and leaks, three models are expected, namely Realme Q5, Realme Q5 Pro, and Realme Q5i.
The Realme Q5 Pro is said to arrive with a Qualcomm Snapdragon 870 SoC, 6.52-inch 120Hz OLED display, 50MP (wide) + 8MP (ultra-wide) + 2MP (macro) triple camera system, 16MP selfie camera, 5,000mAh battery, and 80W fast charging.
On the other hand, the Realme Q5i is tipped to come with a 6.58-inch FHD+ display (LCD), Mediatek Dimensity 810 chipset, 13MP + 2MP dual-camera setup, 8MP selfie camera, and a 5,000mAh battery.
Unfortunately, the specs of the Realme Q5 are a mystery for now.
3. Oneplus Ace
On April 21 (Thursday), Oneplus will be holding a launch conference in China at 7 PM CST. The star of the show will be Oneplus Ace. The upper mid-range smartphone will be accompanied by accessories like Oneplus Buds N and Oneplus Bullets Wireless Z2.
The forthcoming Oneplus Ace is nothing but a tweaked Realme GT Neo 3. The only major difference between the two is the rear design. The Ace is also set to go official in India later this month as Oneplus 10R.
The Oneplus Ace will offer features like a 6.7-inch 120Hz AMOLED display, Mediatek Dimensity 8100 SoC, LPDDR5 RAM, UFS 3.1 storage, 50MP (wide) + 8MP (ultra-wide) + 2MP (macro) triple camera setup, 16MP selfie camera, dual stereo speakers, 5,000mAh battery, and 80W/150W fast charging support.
