November 2025 is set to see some major flagship launches; most Chinese brands like OnePlus, Realme, iQOO and Oppo often launch their top-of-the-line phones in India a couple of weeks after the launch in China. So if you have been planning to upgrade, here are some pretty solid options among premium smartphones launching this month:
OnePlus 15
The first offering on the list is from everyone’s favourite flagship killer,
OnePlus, who will be launching the OnePlus 15 in India soon. The super-hyped thing about the phone is it’s refresh rate of 165Hz. Furthermore, it is expected to pack a 6.78-inch LTPO AMOLED panel with 1.5K resolution. Under the hood we are expecting a Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 chipset. For cameras, the phone will pack a 50MP camera setup. The battery department is sorted too, thanks to a whopping 7,300mAh unit with 120W wired and 50W wireless charging.
For a phone expected to launch around ₹70,000, that’s some serious firepower. OnePlus 15 will launch on November 13th in India.
iQOO 15
Just a week after OnePlus, iQOO will joins the party with their iQOO 15, launching on November 26. Like its rival, it’s also powered by the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5. But we see some differences in the display, as the
iQOO 15 is paired with a 6.85-inch LTPO display with 144Hz refresh rate. We see a set of three 50MP cameras here as well, but what makes it interesting is the expected starting price of ₹60-65,000.
iQOO 15 is competing with OnePlus 15, with very similar specs. Which one of the two will come out on top will come down to how these phones perform, and how they are priced.
Realme GT 8 Pro
Realme’s GT 8 Pro is also launching later this month and is expected to come with a a 6.79-inch, 144Hz display. It should also get 16GB RAM, and a 1TB storage option, but the real headliner will be its 200MP telephoto camera. Priced around ₹65,000, it could be a surprise hit for camera lovers.
OPPO Find X9 Pro
And finally, we have the OPPO Find X9 Pro, which will feature a Dimensity 9500 chipset, a 6.78-inch AMOLED panel, and also a 200MP tele shooter. Priced at around ₹1,00,000, this one’s aimed squarely at the premium market.
This November, India’s smartphone scene is stacked with some heavyweights. It will be interesting to see how each of these options fare, especially given how competitive even the premium smartphone segment has become.
