OPPO Reno 16 and Reno 16c — July 2

OPPO is kicking off July properly with the Reno 16 and Reno 16c on July 2 via Amazon India. The Reno 16 is the compact one at 6.32 inches, with a FHD+ AMOLED display at 120Hz and 1,800 nits peak brightness. It runs a MediaTek Dimensity 8550 chip and packs a triple 50MP rear camera setup alongside a 50MP ultra-wide selfie camera.

The new AI Snap Key acts as a hardware shortcut for AI features and quick access to MindSpace. Both phones carry IP66, IP68, IP69, and IP69K certifications, an aerospace-grade aluminium frame, and Splash Touch and Glove Touch support. Colour options for the Reno 16 are Starry White, Twilight Violet, and Stellar Purple.

The Reno 16c is the larger sibling at 6.57 inches with the same FHD+ AMOLED panel but at a slightly lower 1,400 nits peak brightness. It shares the same camera count, durability credentials, and aluminium frame as the vanilla model. Pricing for both phones hasn't been confirmed yet.

Alongside the series, OPPO is also launching the Bubble, a circular 1.73-inch AMOLED accessory that attaches magnetically to the back of the phone and mirrors the rear camera preview for selfies. It has a 10-metre Bluetooth range, a 550mAh battery, an IP54 rating, and supports custom wallpapers and interactive pets.

Nothing Phone (4b) — July 7

Nothing's first b-series phone arrives on July 7 at 3:30 PM IST, launching globally at the same time. The Phone (4b) is designed as a more accessible entry into the Nothing ecosystem, sitting below the a-series.

Smartphones Launching in July 2026

Based on a Geekbench listing and leaks, it's expected to run a Snapdragon 6 Gen 4 chip with 8GB RAM, a 6.77-inch AMOLED display, a dual 50MP rear camera, and a 5,400mAh battery with 45W charging. The official design reveal confirmed the transparent camera island with the Glyph Bar visible underneath. Pricing is expected to start above Rs 30,000.

Moto G77 Power - July 8

The Moto G77 Power is launching in India on July 8 via Flipkart in two variants, 4GB/128GB and 8GB/128GB, across four Pantone colours: Impenetrable, Nautical Blue, Fuchsia Red, and Laurel Green. The headline feature is a 7,000mAh battery with Motorola claiming up to three days of use on a single charge, making it one of the larger batteries expected in the under-Rs 30,000 segment. Pricing hasn't been officially confirmed yet.

On specs, the phone has a 50MP Sony LYTIA 600 primary camera, an 8MP ultrawide, and a 32MP front camera. The display is a 6.72-inch FHD+ flat panel at 120Hz with Gorilla Glass 7i protection. It carries MIL-STD-810H certification, ships with Android 16, and is confirmed to receive Android 17. Stereo speakers with Dolby Atmos and a 3.5mm headphone jack are also on board.

Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 8, Z Fold 8 Ultra, and Z Flip 8 — July 22

Samsung's Galaxy Unpacked is confirmed to happen on July 22. And the naming might be cleaner than earlier leaks suggested. What was previously rumored as the Galaxy Z Fold 8 Wide could actually launch as the standard Galaxy Z Fold 8, while the more premium model may arrive as the Galaxy Z Fold 8 Ultra rather than any variation of "Wide Fold." That would put Samsung's foldable lineup on the same Standard and Ultra structure as the Galaxy S series, which makes a lot more sense for retail clarity.

The Galaxy Z Fold 8 is expected to come with a dual rear camera setup and a 4,800mAh battery. The Galaxy Z Fold 8 Ultra steps things up with a dedicated telephoto sensor, a larger 5,000mAh battery, and what's expected to be a more premium display experience. Both are tipped to run the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 with 16GB RAM. The Ultra is also expected to carry a 200MP main camera. Expected India price for the standard Fold 8 is between Rs 1,74,999 and Rs 1,79,999, with the Ultra sitting higher.

The Galaxy Z Flip 8 rounds out the lineup with a 6.9-inch inner OLED and a 4.1-inch outer display, both at 120Hz, the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 chip, a 4,300mAh battery with 25W wired charging, and a dual 50MP plus 12MP rear camera. Expected price is around Rs 1,14,999 to Rs 1,19,999. All three phones are expected to go on sale from August 5.

iQOO Z11 5G — Confirmed to Launch in July

iQOO has confirmed that the Z11 5G will launch in India sometime this month. The phone launched in China with a 6.83-inch 165Hz AMOLED display, a MediaTek Dimensity 8500 chip, a 50MP dual-camera setup, and a 9,020mAh battery with 90W wired charging. It's expected to land in India's sub-Rs 35,000 segment, which would make it one of the largest battery phones at that price point.

Vivo T5 Lite 5G - Expected July

Vivo has confirmed its second T5-series phone for India, the T5 Lite 5G, following the T5x 5G launched earlier this year. The company teased the phone via its official X account and activated a dedicated Flipkart microsite ahead of launch, with more details expected on July 12. No official launch date is out yet, but pricing is expected to sit just below the T5x 5G, likely starting under Rs 20,000.

The teaser confirms a 6,500mAh battery with 44W FlashCharge, a flat-back design with a dual rear camera setup, and OriginOS 6 based on Android 16 out of the box. Leaks point to either a MediaTek Dimensity 6300 or Dimensity 6400 chipset, a 6.74-inch HD+ LCD display at 120Hz with up to 1,200 nits peak brightness, and storage options across 4GB+128GB, 6GB+128GB, and 6GB+256GB. Camera-wise, it's tipped to get a 50MP primary rear sensor and a 5MP front camera, along with an IP65 rating and Twilight Shadow and Wave Blue colour options.

New LAVA Phone - Expected July

LAVA has teased the launch of a new phone. The teaser is live on Flipkart, and at the moment, there is no information on any specs or features.

Motorola Edge 70 Max - Expected July

Motorola is bringing a fifth phone to its Edge 70 lineup in India, following the Edge 70, Edge 70 Fusion, Edge 70 Pro, and Edge 70 Pro Plus. A dedicated Flipkart microsite has gone live for the Edge 70 Max, all but confirming an India launch, though no official date is out yet; expect it sometime this month.

The microsite confirms a square-shaped camera module similar to the Edge 70 Pro, along with magnetic wireless charging, a first for this series outside the top-end model, and a stronger focus on on-device AI. Leaked marketing material points to a Snapdragon 8 Gen 5 chipset, a notable shift back to Qualcomm after Motorola's recent MediaTek-heavy lineup, along with a triple rear camera setup covering main, telephoto, and ultrawide sensors.

Motorola is also claiming a 46 percent jump in neural processing performance for on-device AI tasks. A mystery button on the left spine is rumoured to be a dedicated Moto AI key. Expected colour options include Glacier Blue, Onyx Black, and Sage Green.

Vivo S2 — Expected July

Vivo may be bringing back its S-series to India after nearly seven years. According to a recent report, the Vivo S2 is expected to launch in India this July. The last S-series phone in India was the Vivo S1 back in 2019.

The S2 is targeting a very different segment this time around, with expected pricing between Rs 45,000 and Rs 50,000, placing it against the OnePlus 15R and iQOO 15R.

The focus is likely to be on slim design, selfie cameras, and premium styling. The phone has already appeared in the GSMA database with model number V2576. Full specs and chipset details are yet to be confirmed.

Motorola Razr 70 Ultra — Expected July

Motorola's premium flip foldable is one of the more anticipated launches of the month. The Razr 70 Ultra is shaping up to be a focused refresh over last year's Razr 60 Ultra rather than a complete overhaul, with most of the changes centred on battery and software.

Smartphones Launching in July 2026

The phone is expected to run a Snapdragon 8 Elite chip with 16GB RAM and 512GB storage, a 7-inch inner foldable display and a 4-inch cover screen, both at 120Hz, and a triple 50MP camera setup across the rear, ultrawide, and inner selfie lens. The battery steps up to 5,000mAh from 4,700mAh on the previous model, with 68W wired charging. It runs Android 16 out of the box and carries an IP48 rating.

Design-wise, leaked renders show Orient Blue Alcantara and Pantone Cocoa Wood finishes, with an African Violet variant also spotted. No confirmed India launch date yet, but July remains the expected window.
