It doesn’t look like new smartphone releases will stop anytime soon. Four brands have officially confirmed to debut new phones in the next few days. 

The brands we are talking about are Oppo, Realme, Redmi, Lava, and HTC. The first four companies will announce products in India.

Both Realme and Redmi have confirmed to unveil budget models, while Oppo and Lava have revealed to take wraps off mid-range devices. On the other hand, HTC will release an upper mid-range phone with Viverse support.

Let’s check out these handsets one by one.

Upcoming Smartphones Next Week

Oppo F23 5G

The Oppo F23 5G is set to launch in India on May 15 (Monday). The device is said to cost ₹23,999 and will be available for purchase from May 18.

Going by the teasers and leaks, the phone will be a rebranded Oppo A98 5G that recently went official in Malaysia. Thus, it should arrive with features, such as a 120Hz FHD+ display (LCD), Qualcomm Snapdragon 695 SoC, a 40x microlens camera, and 67W fast charging support.

Since there was no F21, the F23 can be regarded as the successor of the 4G-only F19 with an AMOLED display. However, the newer handset will cost as much as the F21 Pro released last year.

Lava Agni 2 5G

The Lava Agni 2 5G will be launched in India on May 16 (Tuesday) at 12 PM IST. According to leaks and teaers, the successor of Agni will offer upgrades in multiple categories.

It will be one of the few handsets in the sub-₹25,000 price segment with a curved display. It will be powered by the newly announced MediaTek Dimensity 7050 chipset.

Interesingly, it will flaunt a circular camera island like premium smartphones and the back panel will be even made of glass.

Realme Narzo N53

The Realme Narzo N53 is scheduled to launch in India on May 18 (Thursday) at 12 PM IST. Not much is known about this product, except for its design.

As per the official renders, the device will look like an iPhone Pro model. The brand claims that it will be its thinnest smartphone to date.

The handset is expected to come with a waterdrop notch and 33W fast charging support. Finally, it will be available in gold and black color options.

HTC U23 Pro

The HTC U23 Pro will be unveiled on May 18 (Thursday). It will be the first smartphone directly from the Taiwanese company after a long while.

But unfortunately, as per leaks, it could be an ODM product since it will sport a generic design mimicking Samsung’s Galaxy S Ultra lineup. The main highlights of the device will be support for HTC’s metaverse platform Viverse and a Qualcomm Snapdragon 7 Gen 1 chipset.

Other expected features include a 108MP primary camera, a 120Hz centered punch-hole AMOLED display, a 4,500mAh battery, and wireless charging support.

Redmi A2 Series

The Redmi A2 series is confirmed to launch in India on May 19 (Friday) at 11 AM IST. Usually, Xiaomi events take place at 12 PM IST in the country but this one will begin an hour earlier.

Since the Redmi A2 lineup is already official in some markets, we know everything about it. Just like its predecessor, the series includes two models, namely Redmi A2 and Redmi A2 Plus. The latter has a fingerprint sensor, which is the only difference between them.

The smartphone has appeared on various websites, including the Bureau of Indian Standards & NBTC, and its design, specifications, and European pricing have been recently leaked. Furthermore, some of its specifications have been revealed through its appearance on the Google Play Console.

Redmi A2 Google Play Console

The Redmi A2, identified by model number 23026RN54G, has surfaced on Google Play Console, providing a glimpse into its specifications. Powered by MediaTek Helio G36 SoC, the smartphone boasts a peak clock speed of 2.3GHz for its four primary A53 cores and 1.8GHz for its silver cores. The device also packs a PowerVR GE8320 GPU.

Going by previous leaks, the Redmi A2 is expected to sport a 6.52-inch IPS LCD screen, with an anticipated HD+ resolution of 1600 x 720 pixels.

The Redmi A2 is also expected to have a robust 5000mAh battery that supports 10W charging in Europe.

In the previous month, the Eurasian Economic Commission (EEC) had certified several existing and unannounced smartphones from Xiaomi. The smartphones approved by EEC are expected to debut in Europe in future. Few more Xiaomi handsets were also certified yesterday by the EEC.

Smartphones such as Xiaomi Mi A2 Lite, Mi 8, Mi 8 Explorer Edition, Mi 8 SE, Mi 8 Pro, Redmi 6, Redmi 6 Pro, Redmi 6A, Redmi 6S and Redmi 6X were certified by the EEC yesterday. As it can be seen, some of these smartphones have already launched in China, but Mi A2 Lite, Mi 8 Pro, Redmi 6S and 6X are yet to go official. EEC certificate was issued to these smartphones on June 14, 2018 and it is valid until January 2027.

The Mi A2 Lite with a model number of M1805D15SG was spotted at the Singapore’s Communications Authority in the previous month. Apart from this, there is no other information available on this smartphone.

Among the recently introduced Redmi 6 series, the Redmi 6 Pro features a notched 19:9 display whereas the Redmi 6 and Redmi 6A phones have notch-less 18:9 display. Since the Redmi 6 and 6X are not “Pro” models, there is a possibility that they arrive with full screen design like the Redmi 6 and 6A smartphones.

The Mi 8 Pro was not announced at the launch event of Mi 8, Mi 8 Explorer Edition and Mi 8 SE that was held at the end of May. There is a possibility that the Mi 8 Pro could be nothing but the highest storage variant of the Mi 8 that features 256 GB of storage.
