Upcoming Smartphone Launches in August 2023: Latest Samsung & OnePlus Phones

The smartphone market in India has been on fire since the beginning of 2023. Compared to 2022, we got to see much better smartphones this year, and almost half of the year is still pending, which means we will see many more exciting smartphone launches in 2023. So, to keep you updated with the latest upcoming smartphones, we have prepared a list of the top new launching mobile phones in August 2023. Here, we will talk about some new mobile phone launches and their expected prices too. The list includes some upcoming OnePlus phones, some latest Samsung phones, and new smartphone launches from other brands like Moto, POCO, Xiaomi, Realme, and more. 

We always look forward to new mobile launches in India, in the hope to get a new phone that would be better than our previous one. Not only that, but new smartphone launches also mean better options for us and ways to learn more about mobile phones. Yes, I am one of those people who watch videos of the Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra or the iPhone 14 Pro Max knowing well that I can’t afford them🥲. Thus, with similar thoughts in mind, we made a compilation of the latest upcoming smartphone launches in August 2023. This way, we will get to learn about what we can expect from smartphone brands in the future and if someone needs to buy a phone now, they would know if they should wait for a new smartphone launch or go ahead with the currently available options. So without further ado, let’s get started with our list of the top upcoming mobile phone launches in India.

The Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 5 is one of the most hyped upcoming phones in 2023. It is going to be the successor of the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 4 5G phone that we got to see in August 2022. The Samsung Fold 4 is said to be perfect and the Best Folding Phone and the Samsung Galaxy Fold 5 would surely be a leap over its predecessor. This upcoming Samsung mobile phone would not be that big of an upgrade over the Fold 4 in terms of physical changes, but the main highlight of the Fold 5 5G would be its One UI that Samsung customizes especially for its Fold phones. Thus, the latest Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 5 would be one of the best smartphone launches in 2023 August.

The Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 5, with Z Flip 5, would be launched globally at the end of July. So, both these foldable phones would be available for sale in August itself.

The upcoming Samsung Galaxy Unpacked Event, being held on the 26th of July would show the world what the Fold 5 by Samsung looks like. This means that the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 5 launch date is 26 July. But, the phone would probably go on sale later and in the upcoming launch event, we might just see the specs and first look of the new Fold.

Here are the price and specifications of the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 5, the upcoming Samsung phone in August 2023:

These are the expected specifications and price of the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 5 5G smartphone. Just as you would expect, the Z Fold 5 is one of the most popular upcoming smartphones in August 2023. 

The Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 5 5G would be launched with the Z Fold 5 that we talked about in the previous section. The Z Flip 5 would be the main highlight of the Samsung Unpacked Event since the Flip 4 has been one of the best-selling foldable phones and users are looking forward to the Flip 5 too. The fact that the Flip series is so compact once you flip them is what makes the Flip 5 worth waiting for. Thus, the Flip 5 5G upcoming phone by Samsung would surely surprise you.

The Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 5 launch date is the same as the Z Fold 5. Both phones will be launched at the same time in the Samsung Galaxy Unpacked Event on the 26th of July. To be fair, I’m personally more interested in the Z Flip 5 than the Fold 5, do you feel the same? This upcoming phone launch would surely give us a lot to discuss.

Here are the price and specs of the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 5 phone launching in August 2023:

Given above are the expected price and specifications of the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 5 5G phone. This upcoming mobile phone launch in August will be a big one, hold your seats tight!

The OnePlus Nord CE 3 5G was launched in July 2023 but the phone will be available for sale in August only. This means that the new OnePlus phone can be included in our list of upcoming smartphones in August 2023. To say the least, the OnePlus Nord CE 3 5G is probably the best all-rounder phone under 25000. It would come with a great Snapdragon Processor, a flagship-grade camera sensor, a good display, and a clean UI, all for Rs. 26,000, and with some discounts, you will get the OnePlus Nord CE 3 for below 25K. That deal would really be a great one. The latest OnePlus phone would come with the Snapdragon 782G processor and the Sony IMX890 camera sensor too. All these specs and the OxygenOS together make the OnePlus Nord CE 3 one of the best phones launching in August.

The OnePlus Nord CE 3 launch date was on the 5th of July. Though, the actual sale of the smartphone would start in the month of August. The brand announced and revealed the OnePlus Nord CE 3 and the OnePlus Nord 3 5G smartphones together before the Amazon Prime Day Sale 2023. But, only the latter was available for sale to the users till now, and in August, you would be able to purchase the OnePlus Nord CE 3, the new OnePlus smartphone, too.

You can check out the OnePlus Nord CE 3 price and specs right below:

These specifications and the price of the upcoming OnePlus Nord CE 3 5G are confirmed by the brand itself. So rest assured, this phone is going to be a great one and you can consider it even if you are looking for the Best Camera Phone Under 30000. 

The Moto Edge 40 Pro can arguably be the best upcoming mobile in 2023. This upcoming phone from Moto would come with the latest Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 processor and it might be the cheapest phone running on our latest flagship SoC. Moto is known as one of the best brands when it comes to providing phones with better specs at a minimum cost. And, the Moto Edge 40 Pro upcoming phone won’t be any different from what the brand has been doing for so long. Moreover, the Edge 40 Pro would sport a 144 Hz/165 Hz OLED display too, which is something that we expect from Moto. Thus, it won’t be wrong to say that the Moto Edge 40 Pro would be a great flagship killer and surely one of the best upcoming phones launching in August 2023.

The Moto Edge 40 Pro launch date in India is expected to be around the 23rd of August. Although there’s no official announcement as such by Moto, we can expect them to drop their latest smartphone at the end of the next month. Recently, we got to see the Moto Razr 40 Ultra, and that folding phone is one of a kind. That is why the upcoming Moto Edge 40 Pro smartphone is what I look forward to.

The Moto Edge 40 Pro price and the specs that it would come with are going to be its main highlights. You can go through the same below:

Do you think this upcoming smartphone would be the next best flagship killer? 

The POCO F5 Pro is going to be the higher variant of the POCO F5 which was launched not so long ago. The phone is expected to come with the flagship-grade Snapdragon 8 Plus Gen 1 processor…flagship is so common nowadays. The phone would also come with a 120 Hz AMOLED display, and a 64 MP OIS camera too. As always, the biggest concern with this upcoming smartphone is the software and motherboard issues that we generally get with POCO smartphones.

The POCO F5 Pro launch date in India is expected to be around the 31st of August. So, we would get to see this new phone launch at the end of the month of August. Moreover, the POCO F5 Pro would be a direct competitor to the iQOO Neo 7 Pro and the OnePlus Nord 3 5G. Therefore, we can expect a great clash between these three phones and trust me, it would be quite entertaining.

Here are the price and specs for the POCO F5 Pro 5G, an upcoming smartphone from Xiaomi’s sub-brand POCO:

The specifications of the POCO F5 Pro are very similar to that of the iQOO Neo 7 Pro, but the overall experience is what matters at the end of the day. Will POCO be able to deliver the same with this new upcoming mobile phone? 

The Redmi 12 5G is the phone that I am most excited about. It would be the first phone to come with the latest Snapdragon 4 Gen 2 chipset. To give you a perspective on its power, the Snapdragon 4 Gen 2 processor performs very similarly to the Snapdragon 778G SoC that we get in smartphones worth 20-25K. And for the best part, the Redmi 12 5G would probably cost around Rs. 15,000. This would make the Redmi 12 the best mobile phone to launch in the next month. But, as always, this is a rebranded Xiaomi phone that has already been launched in China as the Redmi 12R.

The Redmi 12 5G launch date in India is yet to be announced. Though, we can expect the Redmi 12 5G to be launched in the last few days of August. It is going to be a budget segment phone and would rank among the best gaming phones in its price range. To be honest, that Snapdragon 4 Gen 2 chipset is what would carry this phone and I’m really excited to get a firsthand experience with it.

The Redmi 12 5G price in India will hopefully be under Rs. 15,000. For that price, this new mobile launching in August would surely be a great one:

The Snapdragon 4 Gen 2 powered Redmi 12 5G might be THE thing in the coming days, do you think so too? 

We all are familiar with the Realme GT series, where all smartphones are performance-oriented. The Realme GT Neo 6 would be no different. Just like the Moto Edge 40 Pro, the Realme GT Neo 6 is said to be powered by the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 processor only. Thus, it would run in the race to be the cheapest Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 phone too. Though, since it’s an upcoming phone from Realme, we can’t expect it to have the best set of cameras.

The Realme GT Neo 6 launch date is quite difficult to predict right now, but the phone is expected to get launched at the end of August 2023. It would be one of the best gaming phones for under 50000, that’s the best that we know about the Realme GT Neo 6 right now.

Here are the specs and the price of the Realme GT Neo 6 5G smartphone:

With the above-given specifications, will the Realme GT Neo leave a mark on the users? That’s something that we will find out only once the phone gets launched in India. 

The Infinix GT 10 Series would be the most fascinating smartphone launch event in August 2023. Why did I say that? Well, the Infinix GT 10 series would have two smartphones, the GT 10 Pro and the GT 10 Pro+, and both these phones will have glyph lights on their back just like the Nothing Phone 2. This means that we will again get to see some really cool designs on a smartphone and if aesthetics matter to you, then you shouldn’t miss out on this upcoming smartphone launch.

The Infinix GT 10 Pro and 10 Pro+ launch date is said to be in the first week of August 2023. Both the phones would be almost identical with very few differences between the two. Though, those few differences might have a big impact on the overall performance of the new phones launching in August from Infinix’s side.

The Infinix GT 10 Pro and 10 Pro+ would be very similar in design and most specifications. Though, the two huge differences between the two would be their processors and the prices. Let’s take a look at the same:

The main highlight of both these smartphones would be their performance and the glyph lights that they would come with. Thus, these upcoming phones from Infinix carry the hype that the brand aimed for.

The Samsung Galaxy S23 FE is what most smartphone users are waiting for. After witnessing how good the Samsung Galaxy S20 FE and S21 FE were, we all have longed for the Samsung Galaxy S23 FE to launch in India. This phone, as expected, would come with a great camera setup, decent performance, a gorgeous display, and the flagship S series experience for the price of an upper mid-range phone after a few months of its launch. It’s hilarious how we do not wait for a phone to get launched to buy it but for some sales to get the best VFM for it.

Now, the biggest question is the S23 FE launch date in India. Will the S23 FE launch in August 2023? Well, that’s not something that we can just say right now. But, there were rumors that Samsung would launch its S23 FE in the second half of 2023, and since August is the 7th month, we might get to see the S23 FE now.

The Samsung Galaxy S23 FE would probably be priced at around Rs. 60,000 in India. Here are the specs of the upcoming phone from Samsung:

Will the Samsung Galaxy S23 FE 5G launch in India in August? That’s a good question. Do we have the answer? 

The Tecno Pova 5 would be another phone that would come with glyph lights and the best part is that this upcoming phone is expected to be priced at around Rs. 15,000. Moreover, the glyph interface on the Tecno Pova 5 would be an RGB one, which would give it a crazy look, mostly for gamers. This new phone launching in August 2023 would probably run on the MediaTek Helio G99 processor. So all in all, the Tecno Pova 5 would target the gamers in the ‘Under 15K’ segment, which is quite empty right now.

The Tecno Pova 5 launch date is said to be in the last week of August. Since the brand hasn’t officially announced its plans, we can’t give you a fixed date as to when this new phone will be launched. Though, you can expect Tecno to launch its new phone within a month.

Here are the price and specifications of the Tecno Pova 5 smartphone:

The Tecno Pova 5’s main highlights would be its 6000 mAh battery and the glyph light interface too. But the HiOS, as we know it, can be a big problem.

The long-awaited OnePlus Open would also get launched in the month of August. The folding smartphones market is expected to see a huge boom in the coming years and OnePlus is set to enter into it with the OnePlus Open. It would be the most expensive OnePlus phone yet that might even cross the Rs. 1,00,000 mark. For that price, the OnePlus Open would come with the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 processors, 3 Fluid AMOLED Displays, and many other features. Though, the most interesting thing to look forward to would be the optimization of the Oxygen OS for the OnePlus Fold. This upcoming OnePlus phone has everyone on their toes and it would be tough competition to the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 5 too.

The OnePlus Fold phone launch date in India is said to be around the 29th of August. So, just like most other smartphones on our list, we might see the OnePlus Open at the end of August 2023. This OnePlus phone launch would surely be one worth remembering.

The OnePlus Fold or the OnePlus Open would probably be the last phone from the brand in 2023. Moreover, the OnePlus Fold price in India will probably be around Rs. 1 Lakh. Here are the specs of the OP Open:

The OnePlus Open is also being referred to as the OnePlus V Fold, so do not confuse yourself with the names and just understand that OnePlus Fold is about to be launched really soon.

There aren’t many Android tablets in India right now and if we were to compare the available options with the latest iPads, Android tablets would get thrashed badly. So, to keep the competition alive, Samsung would soon launch its Samsung Galaxy Tab S9. By soon, we mean the Galaxy Unpacked Event on the 26th of July. This event will see the launch of the Galaxy Tab S9, along with the Z Fold 5 and Flip 5 that we talked about earlier. The Tab S9 would surely be the best Android Tablet yet and that’s surely a big thing.

The Samsung Galaxy Tab S9 launch date in India is the 26th of July, but the Tab would probably go on sale in August. This latest Samsung Tab would sport the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 processor and a big Dynamic AMOLED display too. If you are looking for an all-out Android tablet, the Samsung Tab S9 might be your best bet.

The Samsung Galaxy Tab S9 price in India will be around Rs. 90,000 or probably more than that. Here are the specs of the same:

The upcoming tablet from Samsung would not be the biggest deal compared to the upcoming smartphones in August 2023, but it’s still something that might hold great importance to many.

These are the upcoming smartphones in August 2023. Here, we have covered the latest mobile phone launches from OnePlus, Samsung, Moto, Xiaomi, Realme, and other brands. Thus, the list got a bit too long, but that’s all the more reason why the year 2023 is much better than 2022 for new smartphone launches. Do you agree with the said statement?
