We witnessed the launch of numerous smartphones in September. We expect the trend to continue in October as well.

As of writing this article, three brands had scheduled launches. Whereas, the remaining phones on the list are based on leaks and rumors.

Anyway, we expect almost every handset on the list to go official in October. In fact, even more devices that are not on the list could also release.

These forthcoming phones are spread across different price categories. Unsurprisingly, they are also targeted at different consumers.
