Redmi A7 Pro

Specifications: Based on the official teasers, the Vivo T5 Pro is confirmed to feature Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 7s Gen 4 chipset, an upgrade from the T4 Pro’s Snapdragon 7 Gen 4 SoC. This suggests a bump in performance on the new model. The Vivo T5 Pro is also getting a massive 9,020mAh battery, which will be one of the largest in the segment. This phone is launching in Cosmic Black and Glacier Blue colours.

Expected pricing: Leaks suggest the Vivo T5 Pro’s price could fall between Rs 30,000 and Rs 36,999, compared to Rs 27,999 for the T4 Pro. The price hike is inevitable considering the surge in memory costs in the industry.

Early thoughts: Based on what we know so far, the Vivo T5 Pro is shaping up to be a battery-first smartphone in the mid-segment segment. This device will most likely appeal to shoppers who want reliable battery life.

Expected specifications: The lineup will include two models—the OPPO F33 and OPPO F33 Pro, both of which are confirmed to come with IP69K certification for enhanced durability. The Pro variant stands out with a 50MP ultra-wide front camera offering a 100-degree field of view. It also comes with a 0.6x option in the viewfinder, making it easier to fit more people into the frame.

On the rear, both phones are likely to sport a 50MP primary camera. OPPO is also bringing a suite of AI-powered imaging features, including AI Groupfie Expert, AI Portrait Glow, Dual-View Video, and a Colourful Front Fill Light. Fueling the devices is a large 7,000mAh battery, paired with 80W SuperVOOC fast charging support. Colour options of the F33 Pro include Misty Forest, Starry Blue, and Passion Red, and it will feature a compact 6.57-inch flat display.

Early thoughts: The OPPO F33 series, especially the F33 Pro, is clearly geared towards selfie enthusiasts, with a strong focus on group shots and social media use. Its compact, durable design and large battery could also make it a solid mid-segment pick.

Specifications: The Infinix Note 60 Pro is launching with the Snapdragon 7s Gen 4 SoC, claimed to have crossed the 1 million mark on AnTuTu, pointing to smoother multitasking and efficient day-to-day performance. It also supports up to 120FPS gameplay in Call of Duty: Mobile, with a special COD Mobile-themed edition adding custom UI elements and styling. A main talking point is the Active Matrix Display with customisable LEDs, bringing interactive animations and notifications to the back panel. The phone also comes with a dedicated side button for heart rate and SpO₂ monitoring. For optics, it’s equipped with a 50MP primary camera and an 8MP ultra-wide lens, along with a 13MP front camera for selfies.

Early thoughts: The Infinix Note 60 Pro seems well-suited for people who want something a little different from the usual mid-segment crowd, especially gamers, casual content creators, and those who enjoy a more interactive, design-focused smartphone experience.

Specifications: The Realme Narzo 100 Lite 5G is confirmed to pack a massive 7,000mAh battery, with Realme claiming up to 10 hours of video playback. It also supports bypass charging and reverse charging, adding to its practicality. Up front, the phone comes with a large 6.8-inch display with a 144Hz refresh rate, 900 nits peak brightness, and 180Hz touch sampling rate for a smoother experience. It is powered by the MediaTek Dimensity 6300 chipset, paired with a vapour chamber cooling system to help manage heat. On the software side, it will launch with Realme UI 7.0 based on Android 16, along with AI features like AI Eraser 2.0 and AI Clear Face. The camera setup is fairly basic, with a 13MP rear sensor supported by AI enhancements. The phone is set to become available in Thunder Black and Frost Silver finishes.

Early thoughts: The Realme Narzo 100 Lite 5G seems ideal for people who prioritise battery life and a smooth display experience over camera performance. It should appeal to students, casual gamers, and everyday people looking for a reliable affordable phone that can easily last through a full day (or more) on a single charge.

Launch date: The Redmi A7 Pro is launching in the country on April 13th.

Specifications: The Redmi A7 Pro is confirmed to pack a 6,300mAh battery, which should comfortably handle long usage hours. Redmi is also teasing the segment’s fastest processor, although exact details are yet to be revealed. This device will feature a large 6.9-inch display, claimed to be the biggest and smoothest in its category. It is expected to run HyperOS 3 based on Android 16 out of the box. One of the more interesting additions is HyperIsland, a small interactive bar at the top of the screen that displays notifications, reminders, meetings, and more. The phone is also confirmed to support Circle to Search, adding a layer of convenience for everyday tasks. For cameras, the Redmi A7 Pro is teased to offer a 32MP dual AI camera setup. It will also come with a durable design, suggesting better build quality for its segment.

Early thoughts: The Redmi A7 Pro seems aimed at people looking for a big-screen experience with long battery life and smart software features. It should appeal to first-time smartphone shoppers and affordable people who want a modern UI experience and reliable all-day performance without spending too much.
