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

Upcoming Smartphones in April 2023

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.

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.

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.

Last year, Vivo debuted the Vivo T1 series in India. The lineup includes three models, namely Vivo T1, Vivo T1 44W, and Vivo T1x.

All of these smartphones are rebranded iQOO Z6 devices, which also follow the same nomenclature. They are called iQOO Z6, iQOO Z6 44W, and iQOO Z6x.

Now, as iQOO Z7 has been released in India, a report says that the Vivo T2 series will follow soon in the country. But unlike its predecessor, the Vivo T2 lineup will be different from the iQOO Z7 family.

According to PriceBaba, the Vivo T2 series will launch in India by mid-April. The publication states that there will be two devices powered by Qualcomm Snapdragon and MediaTek Dimensity chipsets.

The exact names of these phones are not known but they are expected to go by Vivo T2 and Vivo T2x. Both of them will be priced below ₹20,000 in the country.

These two handsets were spotted on Google Play Console listings a few weeks back. The duo will arrive with an FHD+ display sporting a dewdrop notch and Android 13.

The Vivo T2 (V2222) will be powered by a Qualcomm Snapdragon 695 SoC, while the Vivo T2x will house a MediaTek Dimensity 700 chip. The latter model will likely be the most affordable of the two.
