Here’s a list of phones launching in the rest of October

September ended with several flagship launches across Android and iOS, while the first week of October has been relatively quiet. The break may not last long, as the rest of the month looks just as busy as September.

Tipster Panda Is Bald has shared a list of phones and tablets expected to launch in October, including devices from iQOO, OnePlus, Honor, Xiaomi, and RedMagic. Some already have confirmed launch dates or official teasers, while others remain rumors.

Confirmed launch dates

The OnePlus 16 is set to launch in China on October 12, just two days from now. OnePlus has been teasing the phone ahead of the launch, with a recent post revealing several key specifications. These include a Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 6-series chip, a 200MP main camera, a display with a refresh rate of up to 185Hz, and a 9,000mAh battery.

OnePlus hasn’t confirmed the phone’s availability outside China. The company has reportedly pulled back from new phone launches in the US and Europe, while an India launch remains unconfirmed.

The RedMagic 12 Pro+ will follow on October 15. RedMagic has confirmed a Snapdragon 8 Elite Extreme Gen 6 chip, a thinner and lighter body, bezels measuring under 1mm, and an under-display front camera. The company hasn’t announced its global launch plans yet.

Officially teased, but without a launch date

Honor has teased the Honor Win Tablet, confirming a Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 chip and an OLED display. Its latest teaser hints at a refresh rate above 200Hz, while tipster Digital Chat Station claims the tablet has an 8.4-inch panel with a 240Hz refresh rate. Honor hasn’t announced a launch date, but the tablet is expected to arrive alongside the Honor Win 2 series.

Xiaomi could also introduce the standard Redmi K100 this month. The company already launched the Redmi K100 Pro and K100 Pro Max on August 11. Xiaomi President Lu Weibing has confirmed that the standard K100 is coming later and hasn’t been cancelled. However, the October launch window comes from tipsters, and there’s no official date yet.

iQOO has started teasing the iQOO Neo 12, confirming several of its key specifications. The phone has a 2K display with a 185Hz refresh rate, using Visionox’s fourth-generation pTSF material. It also packs a Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 chip, an iQOO Q3 gaming chip, and a 9,000mAh battery. A built-in fan and the new Ice Dome cooling system handle heat during demanding tasks.

The iQOO Pad Pro has also been officially teased. The compact gaming tablet features an 8.8-inch display and weighs 298 grams. Like the Neo 12, it uses the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 and Q3 gaming chip combination. It also has an active cooling fan, while its 3C certification listing points to 66W charging.

Other rumored launches

The Honor Win 2 and Win 2 RT have cleared 3C certification in China, with listings indicating 100W and 90W wired charging, respectively. An October launch is rumored, but Honor hasn’t confirmed the timing. Earlier reports have pointed to a Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 6 chip, a battery with a capacity exceeding 10,000mAh, and a possible third model in the lineup.

The OnePlus Ace 7 series is another possible October launch. According to leaks, the lineup could include a standard Ace 7 and a higher-end model, both expected to use a Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5-class chip and a battery of around 9,000mAh. The phones are rumored to arrive around the same time as the OnePlus 16, with the Ace 7 potentially launching in India as the OnePlus 16R.

Finally, the Honor X10 Mini appears on the list, but there’s little to support its inclusion so far. No official teaser, certification, or detailed leak has surfaced under that name, making it the least substantiated entry among the rumored October launches.
