January proved to be a busy month for smartphone launches. Most of the announcements were mid-range devices, like the Realme 16 Pro series and the Honor Power 2, but we also saw a few flagships, including the Honor Magic 8 RSR and the RedMagic 11 Air. If you missed any of the January launches, we covered them all here.

If January is any indication, 2026 is going to be a packed year for smartphones. So we decided to make a month-by-month look at some of the most anticipated devices expected to launch this year.

February

Samsung Galaxy A-series

Samsung is expected to kick off February with new entries in its Galaxy A lineup, likely including the Galaxy A57 and Galaxy A37. Both devices have appeared in certifications and benchmarks, revealing key details. 

The Galaxy A57 is rumored to feature an Exynos 1680 chipset, an AMOLED display, a 5,000 mAh battery, and a triple rear camera setup led by a 50 MP sensor. The A37 could pack an Exynos 1480 chip, the same AMOLED display, and a 5,000 mAh battery.

Galaxy S26 series

Later in February, Samsung is expected to unveil the Galaxy S26, S26+, and S26 Ultra. Reports suggest the company won’t radically redesign the series this year, but will focus on bringing display refinements, upgraded cameras, and newer chipsets, depending on the region.

Notably, the S26 series may introduce a new Privacy Display feature and adopt a dual-chip strategy, offering both Exynos and Snapdragon variants.

Google Pixel 10a

Google announced the Pixel 10 series back in August 2025, but the company has yet to introduce the affordable Pixel 10a. According to reports, February could be the month when the company does so. 

It is said to feature a 6.3-inch FHD+ AMOLED display with 60Hz–120Hz refresh, Tensor G4 chipset, 8 GB RAM, 128 GB storage, and a 5,100 mAh battery.

Camera-wise, it’s expected to sport a 48 MP primary lens, a 13 MP ultrawide lens, and a 13 MP front camera.

March / April

Vivo X300 Ultra and Oppo Find X10 Ultra

March could bring two of 2026’s most high-end Android flagships: the Vivo X300 Ultra and Oppo Find X9 Ultra. Both are expected to feature Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 processors, 6.8-inch 2K AMOLED displays at 120 Hz, Android 16 with custom skins, and roughly 7,000 mAh batteries with fast charging.

The differences are, Vivo X300 Ultra is rumored to include a 200 MP main sensor, a 200 MP telephoto lens with gimbal stabilization, a 50 MP ultrawide camera, and a 50 MP front camera. 

Meanwhile, the Find X9 Ultra is likely to come with two 200 MP sensors (primary and mid-telephoto), a 50 MP periscope telephoto lens with 10× optical zoom, and a 50 MP ultrawide camera.

OnePlus 15T

Moving on, OnePlus is also expected to launch the 15T in March or April. As with previous “T” models, the focus will likely be on refining existing hardware.

According to leaks, it will be a compact 6.32-inch smartphone with 1.5K resolution with a 120 Hz refresh rate. The camera setup may be dual-lens only with a 50 MP Sony IMX906 or 200 MP Samsung HP5 main sensor and a 50 MP Samsung JN5 telephoto lens.

Under the hood, the 15T should feature the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5, LPDDR5X RAM, UFS 4.1 storage, a 7,500 mAh battery, and support for 100W wired and wireless fast charging.

August

Google Pixel 11 series

August could see Google back in the headlines with the Pixel 11. The new lineup will possibly include the Pixel 11, Pixel 11 Pro, and a foldable Pixel variant.

Rumors suggest all models will have AMOLED displays and run on the new Tensor G6 chip built on TSMC’s 2nm process. 

The Pixel 11 series is also expected to leverage AI to offer up to 100× zoom on photos and videos. The foldable Pixel details are scarce for the time being. 

September

Apple iPhone 18 Pro and foldable iPhone

Apple has a consistent launch schedule for iPhones, so no surprises here: the iPhone 18 series is expected to launch in September. However, the company could make some changes this year. 

First, Apple is rumored to release only the Pro models this year, whereas the vanilla iPhone 18 might debut in 2027. Second, 2026 could be the year Apple finally introduces the iPhone Fold.

The foldable device won’t be about chasing trends; it’s more likely to focus on durability, software polish, and ecosystem integration. Meanwhile, the iPhone 18 Pro should feature incremental upgrades in cameras, performance, and iOS refinements.

Xiaomi 18 series
Xiaomi is expected to launch the 18 series around the same time with Pro and Ultra models. The series may continue Xiaomi’s recent innovations, such as rear displays, improved cameras, and faster charging. Meanwhile, Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 6 is one of the confirmed generational upgrades. 

October

Vivo X400 / Oppo Find X10 series
While details are still emerging, rumors suggest Vivo and Oppo could launch their next flagship lines in October. Both are likely to be powered by the MediaTek Dimensity 9600 chipset.

What else to watch

Of course, these are not the only smartphones to launch in 2026. These are just the big headline devices, whereas 2026 will also bring plenty of mid-range and niche launches throughout the year. 

If anything, this suggests we will have new phones coming out almost every month. You will not be short on options, and we will continue sharing our reviews on our website and YouTube channel.

Upcoming Smartphones February 2025

Oppo Find N5

Oppo is gearing up to debut its 4th book-style foldable smartphone. The device is officially called Oppo Find N5 and it will succeed the Oppo Find N3 from late 2023.

As the new model is arriving more than a year after its predecessor, it will pack some serious upgrades. Thanks to official teasers and unofficial leaks, we know a lot about this product.

For starters, it will launch as the world’s thinnest foldable. It will be about as thin as the USB Type-C port when unfolded.

Despite its thinness, the phone is expected to house a large 5,700mAh battery. On top of that, it will support 80W wired and 50W wireless charging standards.

The Find N5 will come with not one but three IP ratings, namely IPX6, IPX8, and IPX9. Lastly, it is rumored to feature a 7-core variant of Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Elite chip.

Xiaomi 15 Ultra

The Xiaomi 15 Ultra will be the company’s 6th Ultra smartphone. It will be more of a yearly upgrade model.

The quad-camera setup will include a 50MP Sony LYT-900 primary sensor, a 50MP Samsung JN5 ultrawide unit, a 50MP Sony IMX858 3x telephoto snapper, and a 200 Samsung HP9 4.3x periscope telephoto shooter.

It will be powered by a Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Elite SoC. Under the hood, it is expected to pack a 6,000mAh battery and support 90W wired as well as 50W wireless charging standards.

The Vivo V50 is set to arrive alone this time around. The ‘Pro’ model is expected to be released sometime later.

The device is said to be a modified version of the Vivo S20. However, unlike the S20, the V50 will have Zeiss cameras.

The handset is anticipated to feature a Qualcomm Snapdragon 7 Gen 3 chip and a 6,000mAh battery. Despite a large-sized battery, the product may have a thickness of just 7.2mm.

The phone will sport three 50MP cameras: two on the rear (wide + ultrawide) and one on the front (with autofocus). Lasty, it will flaunt a 6.67-inch 1.5K 120Hz micro-curved OLED display.

Richard Yu, CEO of Huawei’s Consumer Business Division hinted at a groundbreaking product, describing it as “the company’s most leading, innovative, and disruptive.”

Yu has been spotted with a tri-fold phone in public, and the event poster subtly features a silhouette of a tri-folding device, adding to the excitement. Leaked images suggest the phone will have a circular camera module, a slim profile when folded, and a 10-inch screen when fully unfolded. The design is expected to include inward and outward folding capabilities with a dual-hinge mechanism. The device is likely powered by the Kirin 9 series platform.

The live stream for the event is scheduled for September 10th at 14:30 (CST), and it will be available on Huawei’s official Weibo handle. All eyes are on Huawei as the company is set to reveal a product that could potentially redefine the foldable smartphone market.

Tecno Phantom V Fold 2, Phantom V Flip 2

Tecno is expected to launch upcoming foldable devices, the Phantom V Fold 2 5G and V Flip 2 5G globally in September. The devices were available for pre-order in Ghana from August 19 to 24, though the official launch date remains unannounced.

A recent leak revealed that the Phantom V Flip 2, a clamshell foldable, will be priced at GHS 9,800 ($626) for the 8GB RAM + 256GB variant, while the Phantom V Fold 2, a book-style foldable, will cost GHS 16,550 ($1058) for the 12GB RAM + 512GB version.

Vivo T3 Ultra

Vivo is reportedly set to expand its T3 lineup with the introduction of the Vivo T3 Ultra in India. According to reports, the T3 Ultra will be powered by the Dimensity 9200 Plus chipset, making it more powerful than the Vivo T3 Pro, which uses the Snapdragon 7 Gen 3.

Interestingly, these specs are similar to those of the Vivo V40 Pro, though the T3 Ultra may lack the Zeiss optics found in the V40 Pro. While the report suggests an early September launch, it seems more likely that Vivo will tease the device for a week before its official debut.

Realme P2 Pro

Realme is gearing up to launch the P2 Pro in India, following the recent release of the P1 and P1 Pro. The P2 Pro has been spotted on the Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS) website, suggesting an imminent launch.

The phone is expected to come in Chameleon Green and Eagle Grey color options.

Pricing details are not yet confirmed, but it is expected to be priced in the sub-Rs 20,000 range, positioning it as a competitor to devices like the POCO X6 and iQOO Z9. The P2 Pro might share similarities with the recently released Realme 13 Pro, which features a 6.7-inch AMOLED FHD+ 120Hz screen, Snapdragon 7s Gen 2 chipset, and a 5,200mAh battery with 45W fast charging. However, these details are based on leaks and reports, so they should be approached with caution until Realme makes an official announcement.

Redmi Note 14 Series

The Redmi Note 14 5G is expected to launch in China in September 2024, with an India release likely in January 2025. Leaks have revealed several details, including its appearance on the radio certification platform in China and the US FCC site.

The series might include other models like the Redmi Note 14 Pro, which could feature a Snapdragon 7s Gen 3 chipset and 90W charging, and the Redmi Note 14 Pro Plus, rumored to have a Dimensity 7350 chipset and a 1.5K curved OLED display. These details are based on leaks, so they should be taken with caution until official announcements are made.

The post Upcoming Smartphones: Vivo X100 Ultra, Galaxy F55, and more appeared first on Gizmochina.

The Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 will be Qualcomm’s most powerful and intelligent chipset for smartphones. It will get new performance cores, which are expected to bring serious improvements over its predecessor, the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3, in terms of performance and AI capabilities.

The US-based chipmaker has confirmed that the Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 is arriving this October during the Snapdragon Summit. However, we already have a handful of information to get excited about. Let’s quickly look at the chip details before I tell you about the smartphones coming with this new Snapdragon performance beast.

Snapdragon 8 Gen 4: Is This the New Powerhouse For Android?

While most details about the upcoming Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 chip are wrapped under the cover, recent leaks and an X (formerly Twitter) post are creating a lot of buzz around this new chip.

The tweet comes from Qualcomm’s CMO Don McGuire, which reveals that the new chip will feature Oryon CPU cores. These CPU cores also power the Snapdragon X Elite chipset for PCs.This is the company’s most powerful chip for PCs, with bold claims around the performance, AI capabilities, and power efficiency.

It will be fascinating to see how these new cores perform in the Snapdragon 8 Gen 4-powered phones. But, we are expecting a massive performance upgrade and better on-device AI capabilities.

Rumors are that the Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 will have six of these new Oryon cores. And the prime core(s) might clock in at 4 GHz (vs 3.30 GHz in its predecessor). This new Snapdragon chip might use TSMC’s 3nm fabrication process.

These Phones Could Come with a Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 Chip

We are still months away from the Snapdragon Summit, but leaks have told us about the devices that might get this upcoming Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 chip.

1. Xiaomi 15 and 15 Pro

Xiaomi has the exclusive first launch rights for the Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 chip, claims a reliable tipster Yogesh Brar. The company also had exclusive first launch rights for the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 for the Xiaomi 14 series last year.

Xiaomi’s next flagship series will be the Xiaomi 15 series, which might get this new chip. According to the tipster, the vanilla Xiaomi 15 and the Pro model will be the first phones to launch with the Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 chip. The phones are likely to go official in October.

As per the recent leaks, the standard Xiaomi 15 may have a 6.36-inch flat OLED screen with 1.5K resolution; the Pro model with a larger screen and 2K resolution. Both phones could come with a custom-made OmniVision 50MP primary camera and an ultrasonic in-screen fingerprint reader.

2. OnePlus 13

OnePlus 13 is reportedly in the works and could be among the first batch of Snapdragon 8 Gen 4-powered phones. According to recent leaks, this new OnePlus flagship will undergo a design change to remove the traditional hinge-style camera module it has been offering for the past few years.

As far as the specs are concerned, it may feature a 6.8-inch OLED LTPO micro-curved display with 2K resolution support. The device is likely to get an ultrasonic in-screen fingerprint scanner. It’s tipped to offer a 50MP primary camera and a periscope lens.

Read more about OnePlus 13 series here.

3. iQOO 13 and 13 Pro

Multiple leaks claim that the iQOO 13 series will be powered by the Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 chipset.

Similar to its predecessor, the iQOO 13 series might include a standard model and a Pro model. We will likely see the exact resolution from last year’s iQOO 12 series – 1.5K resolution on the standard model and 2K on the Pro model.

Although not many spec leaks have surfaced online, we know that the iQOO 13 series phones will sport big batteries, thanks to recent leaks from Chinese tipsters.

Read more about iQOO 13 here.

4. Galaxy S25 Pro and S25 Ultra

Including the Galaxy S25 Pro and Galaxy S25 Ultra on this list was a no-brainer, as Samsung’s latest flagships always boast the most powerful chip from Qualcomm.

However, unlike many Chinese brands, Samsung doesn’t rush to announce new devices with new flagship chipsets. The South Korean giant usually announces new flagships in January or February.

Notably, many reports believe Samsung might go all-in with Exynos for the Galaxy S25 series, but I strongly disagree with this, as it’ll severely impact their smartphone business. Even if they do, this Exynos move will be limited to select regions.

Read more about Galaxy S25 series here.

5. Redmi K80 Pro

Redmi K80 Pro is also rumored to come with the Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 powerful chipset. The K80 lineup is also expected to include a standard Redmi K80, which could feature the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 SoC.

As per the recent leaks, the Redmi K80 series phones may house a 5,500 mAh battery. They are expected to feature a 2K resolution display like their predecessors, the Redmi K70 and K70 Pro.

We are still months away from the official Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 announcement, but we’ll keep working to bring the latest leaks on this new chip from Qualcomm.
