On Feb. 6, POCO unveiled the POCO X5 series of smartphones in the global market and India. The lineup has two models, the Poco X5 5G and the Poco X5 Pro 5G. While the global market received both models, the company only released the Pro model in India. It appears that the vanilla variant will be also released in India.

When a Poco fan asked Poco’s Country Head for India, Himanshu Tandon whether the company will be releasing the Poco X5 in India, he responded by saying, “yea getting a lot of messages from fans to launch the X5 after the successful launch of X5 Pro. We are seriously evaluating this.”

At the same time, a report by Xiaomiui reveals that the last internal MIUI build of Poco X5 5G (V13.0.1.0.SMPINXM) has surfaced. As per the publication, the MIUI build suggests that the device will arrive with MIUI 13-based Android 12 In India.

Smartphone launches don’t seem to be stopping though we are nearing the end of the year. As of writing this article, two brands have confirmed to release new phones in November.

However, we believe there could be more announcements later this month. We have listed multiple products based on leaks and rumors.

Most of them mentioned in this post will likely go official in the next few weeks. Additionally, we may also witness the launch of handsets that are not listed here.

With that out of the way, let’s take a look at all the expected phone releases in the coming days.

Upcoming Smartphones in November 2022

Huawei P50 Pocket S

The Huawei P50 Pocket S has been confirmed to launch in China on November 2. It will be an affordable version of the Huawei P50 Pocket from last year.

The clamshell foldable smartphone is said to feature a Qualcomm Snapdragon 778 4G chipset, a 120Hz display, and cameras powered by the company’s in-house XMAGE image processing.

It is expected to arrive in six vibrant colors (black, blue, pink, white, green, and yellow) and two memory variants (128GB and 256GB).

Realme 10 Series

The Realme 10 has been officially confirmed to launch in multiple markets (mostly Southeast Asia) on November 10. There are also leaks regarding Realme 10 Pro Plus but it may not be announced at the event.

As far as the Realme 10 is concerned, it will be a budget 4G handset. Teasers and leaks have revealed it to come with a MediaTek Helio G99 chip, a 6.4-inch FHD+ 90Hz display, a 50MP + 2MP dual camera setup, a 16MP selfie camera, a side-mounted fingerprint sensor, Android 12, a 5,000mAh battery, and 33W fast charging support.

The device is expected to go on sale from November 11 in Southeast Asia via retailers like Shopee and Lazada.

Oppo A98

The Oppo A98 is said to be the most premium phone in the Oppo A series to date. Some of its features have been tipped but its launch date is a mystery. However, there’s a chance that it could go official in November.

As per leaks, the device will flaunt a curved FHD+ display with a 120Hz refresh rate and a 2160Hz PWM dimming. The panel will have the highest screen-to-body ratio on a single punch hole curved screen with its 3.3xmm chin.

It will offer other features like a Qualcomm Snapdragon 778G SoC, a 108MP primary camera, a 5,000mAh battery, and 67W fast charging support.

Oppo A58 5G

Oppo may release yet another A series handset called Oppo A58 5G in November. Though the exact launch date is not known, its specs and design are out.

According to a massive leak, the device will arrive with a 6.56-inch HD+ 90Hz display (LCD), MediaTek Dimensity 700 chip, LPDDR4x RAM, UFS 2,2 storage, 50MP + 2MP dual camera system, 8MP selfie camera, a side-mounted fingerprint sensor, Android 12, 5,000mAh battery, and 33W fast charging support.

Finally, it will boot Android 13 and will be backed by a 4,500mAh battery with support for 67W fast charging.

Redmi Note 11 Pro 2023

We expected the Redmi Note 11 Pro 2023 to go official in October but it didn’t happen. Now, we think it may release in November.

As per certifications and leaks, this smartphone will be nothing but a rebadged Redmi Note 10 Pro (aka Redmi Note 10 Pro Max) from 2021. It may be only sold in Southeast Asia and Europe as there’s only a ‘Global’ variant of it.

It will offer features like a 6.67-inch FHD+ 120Hz AMOLED display, Qualcomm Snapdragon 732G SoC, 108MP (wide) + 8MP (ultra-wide) + 5MP (telemacro) + 2MP (depth) quad-camera setup, 16MP selfie camera, dual stereo speakers, side-mounted fingerprint sensor, 5,020mAh battery, and 33W fast charging support.

Interestingly, the phone may boot Android 11 though the original Redmi Note 10 Pro has received the Android 12 update.

Poco X5 5G

The Poco X5 5G could make its debut in November. If not, at least its Chinese variant bearing the Redmi branding might go official. Because the model numbers of this handset suggest an October release but the said month has already passed away.

Unfortunately, we don’t have much information on it. The product is said to be marketed as a budget gaming smartphone.

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

Xiaomi 13 Series

Two Xiaomi 13 series models, namely Xiaomi 13 and Xiaomi 13 Pro, could debut in November. They are expected to house a Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 chipset, which is also scheduled to go official this month.

The vanilla model is said to come with a 6.38-inch FHD+ display, 50MP main camera, and 67W fast charging support. On the other hand, a lot more has leaked about the Pro variant.

The Xiaomi 13 Pro is tipped to arrive with a 6.7-inch QHD+ LTPO E6 AMOLED display, 50MP (1-inch Sony IMX989 sensor) + 50MP (ultra-wide) + 50MP (telephoto) triple camera array, 32MP selfie camera, Leica image processing, Surge C2/P2 chips, Android 13-based MIUI 14, 4,800mAh battery, and 120W fast charging support.

If you are wondering about the Xiaomi 13 Ultra, it will most probably release next year.

Motorola Moto X40

The Motorola Moto X40 could release in November as one of the first Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 phones, other than the Xiaomi 13 series. Just like the latter, the exact launch date is unknown.

The device is expected to arrive with a 10-bit 6.67-inch FHD+ 165Hz curved display, LPDDR5x RAM, 50MP + 50MP + 12MP triple camera system, in-screen fingerprint sensor, 5,000mAh battery, and 68W fast charging support.
