Upcoming Smartphones Next Week

Nokia G42 5G

The Nokia G42 5G is planned to launch in India on September 11 (Monday). It will be the country’s second 5G-enabled Nokia-branded smartphone after Nokia X30 5G.

Since the device is already on sale in multiple regions, everything about it is already out. It is also teased to cost under ₹18,000 in India.

The handset comes with a 6.56-inch HD+ 90Hz display (LCD), a Qualcomm Snapdragon 480 Plus chip, a 50MP rear camera, an 8MP selfie camera, a 5,000mAh battery, and 20W charging support.

The latest iPhone lineup is expected to include four models, namely iPhone 15, iPhone 15 Plus, iPhone 15 Pro, and iPhone 15 Pro Max (Ultra?). All of them will be equipped with a USB Type-C port and feature a dynamic island.

The Pro models will also arrive with an action button. Additionally, the Pro Max, which is rumored to be called Ultra will sport a periscope zoom camera. 

Mysterious Honor Foldable

Honor will be holding an event in China on September 13 (Wednesday). The brand has confirmed that it will unveil a foldable but did not say which one.

According to rumors, the company may debut either Magic Vs 2 or Magic V2 Lite. The former is said to be an outward folding foldable phone, while the latter is expected to be a toned-down version of Magic V2 Lite.

If the leaks are to be believed, the Honor Magic V2 Lite could be the most affordable book-style foldable smartphone to release in 2023.

Honor 90

The Honor 90 is set to launch in India on September 14 (Thursday). It will mark the brand’s re-entry into the country’s smartphone market.

This handset is already on sale in multiple countries. Therefore, we know everything about it,

Based on previous W series handsets and leaks, the W24 and W24 Flip will likely be a premium version of Galaxy Z Fold 5 and Galaxy Z Flip 5, respectively. They will retain the core features but may have additional design elements.

We wouldn’t be surprised if they come in higher RAM and storage variants than the original models.

Oppo A2 Pro

The Oppo A2 Pro is tipped to launch in China on September 15 (Friday). Since this information comes from a reliable leaker, it is most likely true.

As per the source, the device will sport a 6.7-inch FHD+ 120Hz curved display. This OLED panel will also have support for 2160Hz high-frequency PWM dimming.

One of the important launches will be by Apple as the tech giant will unveil its next-gen iPhones. Further, Honor will re-enter the Indian smartphone market. It will also debut a new foldable in China.

At least 10 brands are anticipated to announce new phones. Unsurprisingly, the list includes all the major Chinese players, in addition to the only non-Chinese popular companies Apple and Samsung.

Let’s take a look at all the devices that are expected to be made official by these brands.

Upcoming Smartphones in September 2023

Realme C51

The Realme C51 is scheduled to launch in India on September 4. The device is already official in Southeast Asia.

So far, the brand has confirmed that the product will feature a flat frame design. It will look like an iPhone Pro and will be available in a blue color option.

The handset will be equipped with a 50Mp rear camera. Finally, it will carry support for 33W charging.

Apple has scheduled its annual iPhone launch event for September 12. The company has named the 2023 edition ‘Wonderlust’.

The iPhone 15 lineup will be unveiled at this conference. Just like in previous years, there will be four models, namely iPhone 15, iPhone 15 Plus, iPhone 15 Pro, and iPhone 15 Pro Max. The high-end ‘Pro Max’ variant could be called the iPhone 15 Ultra.

All four phones are anticipated to come with a dynamic island and a USB Type-C port. Additionally, the Pro models will feature a new action button, and the Pro Max will be equipped with a periscope zoom lens.

Mysterious Honor Foldable

Honor has scheduled an event in China for September 13. The brand has confirmed to unveil a new foldable at this conference.

Though we are only a few days away from the launch, we don’t know the actual name of this product. Leaks say that it could be either Honor Magic Vs 2 or Honor Magic V2 Lite.

The Honor Magic Vs 2 is rumored to be an outward folding device like the Huawei Mate Xs series. On the other hand, the Honor Magic V2 Lite is said to be the most affordable foldable smartphone to release this year.

Samsung W24 and W24 Flip

Samsung is set to take wraps off the new W series foldable phones in China on September 15. These handsets are expected to be called Samsung W24 and Samsung W24 Flip.

Similar to the previous W series handsets, they are anticipated to be rebranded current-gen Galaxy Z foldables from the company. So the W24 and W24 Flip will be essential premium versions of Galaxy Z Fold 5 and Galaxy Z Flip 5, respectively.

These devices will likely have additional design elements to differentiate themselves from the regular models.

Realme Narzo 60x

The Realme Narzo 60x is teased by the company to debut soon in India. It should go official within the next few days.

Going by the teaser render and the name, it could be a rebranded Realme 11x 5G. But it may or may not have some changes.

Honor 90

The Honor 90 is expected to launch in India this month. The brand is yet to disclose the exact date, however, a leak suggests that it could go official on September 21.

This smartphone is already on sale in multiple markets. Therefore, everything about it is already known. But we cannot deny the probability of the Indian variant being slightly different.

Anyways, the handset arrives with a 6.7-inch 1.5K 120Hz curved OLED display, a Qualcomm Snapdragon 7 Gen 1 SoC, a 200Mp main camera, an in-screen fingerprint sensor, a 5,000mAh battery, and 66W charging.

Xiaomi 13T Series

Going by leaks and certifications, the Xiaomi 13T series could launch in September. The lineup will consist of Xiaomi 13T and Xiaomi 13T Pro.

Leaks suggest that the pro variant will be a tweaked version of the Redmi K60 Ultra with Leica-powered better camera hardware. Whereas, the vanilla model will not only have a downgraded camera setup without Leica processing but also a less powerful chip.

Either way, both phones will look identical in terms of design. Their looks will be based on the Xiaomi 13 series and the Redmi K60 lineup.

The Xiaomi 13T and Xiaomi 13T Pro are tipped to start from £549 and £699, respectively.

Tecno Phantom V Flip

The Tecno Phantom V Flip might debut in September. It will be the brand’s first clamshell foldable smartphone and could be more affordable than the competitors.

These devices are set to be premium rebranded versions of the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 5 and Galaxy Z Flip 5, respectively.
