The smartphone industry is gearing up for some exciting launches of flagship smartphones from top brands. These devices are set to push the boundaries of performance, mobile photography, and innovation. So if you’re looking to upgrade your phone, these are the upcoming flagship phones that you should be excited about.
1. Samsung Galaxy S25 Edge
Samsung is working on a highly anticipated flagship model that is shaping up to be an ultra slim premium smartphone. The device in question is the Galaxy S25 Edge. The Edge doesn’t suggest the old curved screens, rather, a razer thin form factor. One of its highlighting aspects is its 5 to 6mm thin chassis and lightweight body.
But despite this compact design, it still packs the Snapdragon 8 Elite for Galaxy under the hood. While it skips a telephoto shooter on the back, there is a 200MP + 8MP dual camera setup. A relatively small 3,900mAh battery pack is expected to power this device, which may support 25W wired fast charging.
2. Vivo X200 Pro Mini
Small flagship phones are far and few in between with the iPhone 16 and Galaxy S25 being one of the rear examples. But Chinese brands are also bringing some relatively compact devices with an upcoming model being the Vivo X200 Pro Mini. It is a flagship grade device with cutting edge Zeiss cameras, a 6.31-inch display, and a massive 5,700mAh battery despite its small build.
Only the base X200 and X200 Pro made it to the global market, but recently rumors have hinted at the Vivo X200 Pro Mini heading to the Indian market along with the X200 Ultra. The Xiaomi 15 was also recently unveiled with a similar display size, so the X200 Pro Mini will likely be another Chinese contender to the Galaxy S25 and the iPhone 16.
3. Nothing Phone (3)
It has been a while since we’ve seen a flagship smartphone from Carl Pei’s Nothing. The brand just announced the new Phone (3a) and Phone (3a) Pro as mid range models with great specs. But there have also been reports regarding a premium device also being in the works.
This model is expected to be dubbed the Nothing Phone (3). Rumros have hinted at a tall 6.7-inch LTPO OLED panel and the Snapdragon 8s Gen 3 (or higher) processor. A sizeable 5,000mAh battery pack could power this transparent device, which will likely offer 65W wired fast charging. The Phone (3) will likely retain the Glyph LED interface along with a transparent back and aluminum frame for its iconic design. Similar to the Phone (3a) series, we can expect the inclusion of a triple camera setup with a periscope telephoto shooter.
4. OnePlus 13 Mini/13T
Sticking with the trend of Chinese smartphone brands making compact flagship phones, we have the OnePlus 13T or OnePlus 13 Mini. This model is rumored to sport a 6.3-inch display on the front, while the rear may feature a dual camera setup similar to the Galaxy S25 Edge. However, it has two major advantages in terms of hardware.
The OnePlus 13T might be the cheapest Snapdragon 8 Elite powered smartphone and it might house a massive 6,000mAh battery pack despite its small build. This device could offer wired fast charging and wireless fast charging support along with an optical in-display fingerprint scanner.
5. Oppo Find X8S/Find X8 Mini
Matching OnePlus, Xiaomi, and Vivo, Chinese OEM Oppo is also rumored to be working on a new “Mini” phone. The exact name of this model is still unclear but reports have claimed that it could be either the Find X8s or the Find X8 Mini. Just like the OnePlus 13T, the smartphone is expected to have a 6.3-inch LTPO OLED display on the front.
On the rear, there is a triple camera setup with a periscope telephoto shooter. Similar to the X200 Pro Mini, it may pack a big 5,700mAh battery pack with 80W wired fast charging and 50W wireless fast charging. Other notable features include an IP68/69 rated body, 50MP triple cameras, and the Dimensity 9400+ SoC.
