A couple of weeks back, we published our inaugural story in the ‘low profile launches from last week’s series. We are now back with the second post as there were multiple low-profile launches last week just like three weeks back.

Once again, we have included 7 launches. All of them are from different brands, namely TD Tech, OPPO, Hisense, HUAWEI, Infinix, iQOO, and itel. With that out of the way, let’s take a look at these products one by one.
