Pixel 8a and a few more devices are expected to launch in India in May 2024.
With the start of a new month in 2024, brands are lining up their next big smartphone launches in India. April has been comparatively busier than usual and May is expected to be no less. Brands like OnePlus Nord, Vivo, Samsung and even Google are expected to launch their new phones catering to buyers in different segments. Here’s a quick round-up of the big phone launches expected over the next few weeks.
Big Phones Launching In India In May 2024
Google Pixel 8a
We still don’t have an official update from Google but all leaks are pointing towards the Pixel 8a launching in early May at the WWDC 2024. The latest Pixel 8a leaks have also shown us that Google could have more than two colours for the device. Reports also suggest Pixel 8a will be powered by the Tensor G3 chipset like its premium brothers which means you might get some AI features on the model. Pixel 8a could see design improvements, camera upgrades and Android 15 update before than most brands in this segment this year.
OnePlus Nord 4
OnePlus launched the Nord CE 4 earlier and now it could bring the Nord 4 model to the market in May. The Nord 4 could be another OnePlus Ace rebadged product for the Indian market, and rumours say the phone could be powered by the Snapdragon 7+ Gen 3 chipset which could offer AI features thanks to the 12GB RAM and up to 512GB storage. OnePlus has not talked about the product publicly but we expect that to change in the build up to the big launch for the brand.
Vivo V30e
Vivo V30 series is getting a new addition in the form of Vivo V30e launching on May 2 in the country. The V-series phones from the brand focus on design and cameras which should be the trend with the upcoming device as well. It is likely to feature a 3D curved display and a dual-rear camera setup. The front camera will also be better than what you get in the price range, and we expect to see a 50MP shooter.
Motorola Edge 50 Ultra
Motorola Edge 50 Pro is expected to get the Ultra variant which is basically the top model for the brand. The phone should have better sensors than the 50 Pro and also use the latest Snapdragon 8s Gen 3 chipset which is better placed than other phones in this range. We’re not sure if Motorola will launch the phone in India this soon but it is likely to happen.
Samsung Galaxy F55
Samsung Galaxy F55 is another phone that we are going to see in India very soon. The company has shared a teaser of the phone which features a vegan leather body and will get a vertical triple camera setup. Many say the Galaxy F55 is the Galaxy C55 that was launched in China earlier. This phone is powered by Snapdragon 7 Gen 1 chipset, an AMOLED display and a 5000mAh battery with 45W charging speed.
