It doesn’t look like new smartphone releases will stop anytime soon. Four brands have officially confirmed to debut new phones in the next few days.
The brands we are talking about are Oppo, Realme, Redmi, Lava, and HTC. The first four companies will announce products in India.
Both Realme and Redmi have confirmed to unveil budget models, while Oppo and Lava have revealed to take wraps off mid-range devices. On the other hand, HTC will release an upper mid-range phone with Viverse support.
Let’s check out these handsets one by one.
Upcoming Smartphones Next Week
1. Oppo F23 5G
The Oppo F23 5G is set to launch in India on May 15 (Monday). The device is said to cost ₹23,999 and will be available for purchase from May 18.
Going by the teasers and leaks, the phone will be a rebranded Oppo A98 5G that recently went official in Malaysia. Thus, it should arrive with features, such as a 120Hz FHD+ display (LCD), Qualcomm Snapdragon 695 SoC, a 40x microlens camera, and 67W fast charging support.
Since there was no F21, the F23 can be regarded as the successor of the 4G-only F19 with an AMOLED display. However, the newer handset will cost as much as the F21 Pro released last year.
2. Lava Agni 2 5G
The Lava Agni 2 5G will be launched in India on May 16 (Tuesday) at 12 PM IST. According to leaks and teaers, the successor of Agni will offer upgrades in multiple categories.
It will be one of the few handsets in the sub-₹25,000 price segment with a curved display. It will be powered by the newly announced MediaTek Dimensity 7050 chipset.
Interesingly, it will flaunt a circular camera island like premium smartphones and the back panel will be even made of glass.
3. Realme Narzo N53
The Realme Narzo N53 is scheduled to launch in India on May 18 (Thursday) at 12 PM IST. Not much is known about this product, except for its design.
As per the official renders, the device will look like an iPhone Pro model. The brand claims that it will be its thinnest smartphone to date.
The handset is expected to come with a waterdrop notch and 33W fast charging support. Finally, it will be available in gold and black color options.
4. HTC U23 Pro
The HTC U23 Pro will be unveiled on May 18 (Thursday). It will be the first smartphone directly from the Taiwanese company after a long while.
But unfortunately, as per leaks, it could be an ODM product since it will sport a generic design mimicking Samsung’s Galaxy S Ultra lineup. The main highlights of the device will be support for HTC’s metaverse platform Viverse and a Qualcomm Snapdragon 7 Gen 1 chipset.
Other expected features include a 108MP primary camera, a 120Hz centered punch-hole AMOLED display, a 4,500mAh battery, and wireless charging support.
5. Redmi A2 Series
The Redmi A2 series is confirmed to launch in India on May 19 (Friday) at 11 AM IST. Usually, Xiaomi events take place at 12 PM IST in the country but this one will begin an hour earlier.
Since the Redmi A2 lineup is already official in some markets, we know everything about it. Just like its predecessor, the series includes two models, namely Redmi A2 and Redmi A2 Plus. The latter has a fingerprint sensor, which is the only difference between them.
The phones offer an HD+ display, MediaTek Helio G36 chip, 8MP rear camera, 5MP front-facing camera, 5,000mAh battery, and 10W charging support.
