The month of March was full of smartphone launches. We witnessed the release of many most-anticipated handsets like the Oppo Find X6 series, Huawei P60 series, Redmi Note Turbo, and more.

April won’t be different either. Multiple big-name brands have already confirmed to debut several high-profile devices.

For example, Vivo will be launching its new-gen foldables, including its first clamshell foldable. Also, Xiaomi will release its new Ultra smartphone, while Asus will debut its latest ROG gaming smartphone.

Apart from the aforementioned premium handsets, we are also looking forward to mid-rangers and budget models, like the much-awaited flagship-killer Poco F5. All in all, there will be new phone releases this month spread across different price segments.

With that out of the way, let’s have a look at these handsets one by one.

Upcoming Smartphones in April 2023

Vivo T2 Series

The Vivo T2 series is set to launch in India on April 11 at 12 PM IST. The lineup will include two devices, namely Vivo T2 and Vivo T2x.

The T2 will be powered by a Qualcomm Snapdragon 695 SoC, while the T2x will house a MedaiTek Dimensity 700 chipset. However, both will boot Android 13.

They will arrive with AMOLED displays featuring a dewdrop notch, a 1,300 nits peak brightness level, and up to a 350Hz touch sampling rate. Lastly, they will reportedly cost below ₹20,000 in the country.

Realme Narzo N55

The Realme Narzo N55 is scheduled to launch in India on April 12 at 12 PM IST. As per teasers and leaks, the phone will be a rebranded Realme C55 and will be sold via Amazon instead of Flipkart.

It will come with a 6.72-inch 90Hz centered punch-hole FHD+ display (LCD), a MediaTek Helio G88 chip, a 64MP main camera, an 8MP front-facing camera, a side-mounted fingerprint sensor, Android 13, a 5,000mAh battery, and 33W fast charging support.

Being a budget smartphone, the handset will offer a dedicated MicroSD card slot and a 3.5mm headphone jack. Finally, it will be available in blue and black color options.

Asus ROG Phone 7 Series

The ROG Phone 7 series by Asus will be unveiled on April 13 at 8 PM GMT+8. The lineup will include at least three devices, namely ROG Phone 7, ROG Phone 7 Pro, and ROG Phone 7D.

All three models are expected to be powered by a Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 chipset paired with LPDDR5x RAM and UFS 4.0 storage. They will boot Android 13 and will sport a 6.78-inch FHD+ 165Hz AMOLED display.

The handsets will look similar to their predecessors. They will most likely cost about the same as well.

Osom Solana Saga

The Osom Solana Saga is finally launching on April 13 at 10 AM Pacific Time. This device was initially announced almost a year ago in June 2022 as a Web3 smartphone.

Apart from the key features of the handset, the company also disclosed the hardware specs of this phone. Thus, we know that it will arrive with a Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Plus Gen 1 SoC, LPDDR5 RAM, UFS 3.1 storage, and a 6.67-inch FHD+ 120Hz AMOLED display.

The product will offer a 50MP Sony IMX766 primary camera, a 12MP Sony IMX373 ultra-wide unit, a 16MP front-facing camera, a 4,110mAh battery, and an IP68 rating for dust as well as water resistance.

Xiaomi 13 Ultra

The Xiaomi 13 Ultra has been confirmed to launch in China in April. The company is yet to officially reveal the date but we know a few things about the device already.

The device will be powered by a Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Plus Gen 2 chipset. It will house an improved Leica-powered quad-camera system. The setup will include a 1-inch 50MP Sony IMX989 primary sensor and three 50MP Sony IMX858 sensors for ultra-wide, telephoto, and periscope.

It will come with LPDDR5X RAM and UFS 4.0 storage. Finally, it will boot MIUI 14 based on Android 13 and will carry support for 90W wired charging and 50W wireless charging.

Vivo X Fold 2 and Vivo X Flip

The Vivo X Fold 2 and Vivo X Flip are expected to launch this month. The former will go official as the world’s first Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 foldable, while the latter is the company’s first clamshell foldable.

The X Fold 2 is said to come with an 8.03-inch 120Hz main display and a 6.03-inch 120Hz secondary screen. It will sport a Zeiss-powered triple camera setup head by a 50MP Sony IMX866 sensor. These cameras will use Vivo V2 ISP for image processing.

On the other hand, the X Flip will feature a large cover display on its back. But the screen appears to be inconvenient. This device is expected to be powered by a Snapdragon 8 Plus Gen 1 chip instead.

Poco F5 Series

The Poco F5 and Poco F5 Pro might release by the end of April. These handsets will go official as rebranded Redmi Note 12 Turbo and Redmi K60.

Therefore, the vanilla model will house the new Snapdragon 7 Plus Gen 2 chipset, whereas the pro variant will be powered by a Snapdragon 8 Plus Gen 1 chipset. But both will arrive with an OIS-assisted 64MP main camera, MIUI 14 based on Android 13, and 67W wired charging support.

Since both are rebadged versions of different phone lineups, their design will differ. Thus, the regular variant will sport a 3.5mm headphone jack, unlike the pro.

Oppo A1 and Oppo A98

After Oppo A1 Pro and Oppo A1x, the brand is now expected to release Oppo A1 in China this month. This device was recently listed on China Telecom’s website.

Huawei Nova 11 Series

The Huawei Nova 11 series is rumored to go official on April 17. The lineup will bring a new design and it is tipped to offer satellite communication functionality.

Pro and non-pro models are anticipated. The former will sport a 50MP camera, while the latter will feature a 108MP camera. The pro variant is tipped to house a Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 SoC and support 100W fast wired charging.

Unfortunately, that’s all the information we have on the upcoming Huawei Nova 11 series.

Infinix Note 30

The Infinix Note 30 family might debut in April. The lineup is said to include three devices, such as Infinix Note 30, Infinix Note 30 Pro, and Infinix Note 30 VIP.

Anurag — Fri, 31 Mar 2023 15:04:48 +0000

Oppo might be gearing up to bring a new A series smartphone into the global as well as Chinese markets.

In the latest development, the mid-range smartphone has appeared on Malaysia’s SIRIM certification website. Here are the details.

Oppo A98 is expected to debut as a mid-range smartphone with some impressive features. You can expect the device to carry an immersive display, a premium design, and a decent processor. It should arrive as the successor to the Oppo A97, which was unveiled last summer in China. Circling back to the smartphone’s SIRIM listing, it has been spotted with the model number CPH2529. The listing itself isn’t anything interesting but it hints at a nearby launch of the device.

Previous listings of the device have revealed it will support 67W fast charging and offers 5G connectivity. Notably, a TENAA listing from last year revealed the handset will sport a 6.7-inch AMOLED display with an integrated fingerprint scanner and a Full HD+ resolution. We expect the smartphone to offer at least a 90hz refresh rate. While it is unclear which chipset will power the device, the listing revealed it will be a 2.2GHz octa-core processor, paired with up to 12GB of RAM and 512GB of internal storage.

The smartphone is believed to be fueled by a 4,690mAh battery pack. In the rear camera department, it will get a 108MP primary camera accompanied by a 2MP depth sensor. The front may get a 16MP selfie shooter. Currently, there’s no official confirmation from the brand so take these specs with a pinch of salt.

It is said to come with a Qualcomm Snapdragon 778G+ SoC and a 120Hz display (LCD).
