July is shaping up to be next level for smartphone fans. From ultra-premium foldables to AI-stacked mid-rangers, this month’s drop list is full of surprises and upgrades.
So if you’re eyeing a phone upgrade, maybe… hold that thought?
Here’s a closer look at the six biggest launches hitting the Indian market this July:
Nothing Phone 3 launches July 1
Nothing kicks off the month with its highly-anticipated Phone 3. The design looks sharp as ever, but it’s the internals that make noise. The Snapdragon 8s Gen 4 chip promises flagship-grade performance, while the new Glyph Matrix system introduces customizable animations for alerts and calls. Add in some expected AI enhancements, and this phone is shaping up to be more than just a pretty face.
Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 7 & Flip 7 drop July 9
Samsung isn’t messing around this July. The Z Fold 7 and Z Flip 7 both debut on July 9, flaunting slimmer designs and upgraded performance. The Fold 7 runs on the Snapdragon 8 Elite, while the Flip 7 gets Samsung’s in-house Exynos 2500. Both are rumored to ship with Android 16-based One UI 8 out of the box. For foldable fans, this is the event to watch.
Vivo X Fold 5 brings the heat
Vivo is doubling down on foldables too. The upcoming X Fold 5 is expected to feature the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 and a triple 50MP rear camera setup. It’s aiming to balance performance with camera excellence — making it ideal for power users who multitask hard and care about optics. No official launch date yet, but it’s landing this month.
Vivo X200 FE targets compact flagship space
If foldables aren’t your thing, Vivo still has something for you. The X200 FE is a compact flagship with a 6.31-inch 1.5K AMOLED screen and a beastly MediaTek Dimensity 9300+ under the hood. It’s tailored for those who want top-tier specs in a palm-friendly form factor — without crossing flagship pricing territory.
Oppo Reno 14 Series levels up the mid-range
Oppo’s new Reno 14 Pro is all about balance — premium design, powerful mid-range performance, and camera smarts. Powered by the MediaTek Dimensity 8450, this one promises serious AI photography upgrades. Expect better night shots, smarter portrait modes, and a cleaner, more refined design. Launch expected in mid-July.
A packed month for smartphone fans
From foldable powerhouses to slick mid-range contenders, July’s smartphone lineup is pure temptation. Whether you're looking for a compact performer, an AI-enhanced camera experience, or a bold design refresh — this month has it all.
Just one problem: your wallet may not survive the wishlist.
