The OnePlus Nord CE 2 Lite is expected to be OnePlus’ most affordable device in recent years, with rumours suggesting a price below Rs 20,000. Expected features include a Snapdragon 695 chipset, a 5000mAh battery, 64MP camera and a 6.58-inch FHD+ LCD screen. It will compete against existing phones like Redmi Note 11 Pro+, Poco X4 Pro, iQoo Z6 5G, Realme 9 Pro 5G etc which are all powered by the same Snapdragon 695 chipset.
Redmi 10A – April 20
The budget-oriented successor to the Redmi 9A is almost here. Redmi will be launching the Redmi 10A on April 20. The 4G smartphone was launched in China last month and if the same spec-sheet comes to the Indian variant, we can expect a MediaTek Helio G25 chip, up to 6GB RAM, 128GB onboard storage and a 5000mAh battery. The phone is also bringing in a new design with the rear-mounted fingerprint scanner now a part of the camera island itself. This could be priced in the Rs 10,000 range, which might appeal to users looking for more affordable options.
iQOO Z6 Pro – April 27
The iQoo Z6 Pro 5G will launch in India on April 27, the company has confirmed. The iQoo Z6 Pro 5G is expected to come with a Qualcomm Snapdragon processor, 66W FlashCharge. The upcoming smartphone will likely play in the under Rs 25,000 segment, which has become increasingly competitive with many brands launching multiple options. The iQoo Z6 Pro 5G will be powered by the Qualcomm Snapdragon 778G 5G aimed at gamers and comes with liquid cooling as well. The phone will be sold via Amazon India and iQOO’s own website.
OnePlus 10R – April 28
The OnePlus 10R is also set to launch during the brand’s ‘More Power to You’ event on April 28. The phone, as the name suggests is going to be a successor to the OnePlus 9R and 9RT. OnePlus has also confirmed that the phone will come with 150W SUPERVOOC fast charging.
