The Indian smartphone market is known to be extremely competitive, with numerous offerings at each price point. With short refresh cycles and multiple launches each month, it can get confusing whether you should wait or choose a phone that is currently available. Knowing what’s on the horizon can help with this decision.
As a rule of thumb, always wait as long as you can before making a purchase decision, as we’ve seen brands surprise us far too often.
Like each year, in the first half of 2020, we saw Samsung bring its new flagships to India, followed by other manufacturers such as OnePlus. The Xiaomi-Realme battle touched new price points and some silent brands tried to make a comeback. Overall, it was a good year for smartphones, even when companies were faced with challenges.
In the second half of 2020, we can expect more devices than the first half since the restrictions are now lifted. However, we expect all the companies to host the online-only launch event. While there are multiple phones expected to launch in the coming days, we have made a list of smartphones expected to launch in Indias this July.
In the list, we have a couple of highly anticipated smartphones from Poco and OnePlus. Oppo and Vivo are expected to come up with their camera-centric powerful midranges this month. Also. We can expect at least two Snapdragon 765G powered smartphones in India this month. Here is the list of smartphones that are expected to arrive in India this July.
In case you don't want to wait, check out these compilations:
