India’s smartphone market is set for a crowded launch week, with Motorola, Oppo, Realme and HMD preparing devices that span budget 5G models to ultra-premium flagships.
Oppo’s Find X9 Ultra is expected to headline the lineup with a 200MP camera, Snapdragon chip and AMOLED display, with pricing likely above Rs100,000; Oppo may also unveil the lower-priced Find X9s.
Motorola is targeting the midrange with the Moto G37 Power—reportedly carrying a 7,000mAh battery and priced below Rs20,000—while Realme’s 16T could push battery capacity to 8,000mAh.
HMD is expected to compete at the low end with the Vibe 2 5G, pairing a 6,000mAh battery and 50MP camera at a price that may stay under Rs10,000.
The wave of launches reflects intensifying competition in India, where brands are leaning on bigger batteries, faster charging, cameras and AI features to offer stronger value across price tiers.
