OnePlus 13s, Infinix GT 30 Pro And More: Top Phone Launches Expected In June 2025
Last Updated: OnePlus, Poco, Infinix and more brands are lining up their big smartphone launches in June 2025 and here are all the details. OnePlus, Poco and Infinix will have their new phones launching in June 2025 The last few months have been a bonanza for tech enthusiasts and June 2025 is just going to bring more excitement for everyone. You have the big Apple WWDC 2025 around the corner but more importantly, brands like OnePlus, Poco and Infinix have something lined up for buyers in the country and other regions. If you thought May was unusually heavy for new phone launches, June 2025 is going to go one step further and give you more to look forward to in the next few weeks. Here's a look at the big launches that we expect to see in June 2025. 5 Big Phone Launches Coming In June 2025 OnePlus 13s The big OnePlus 13s launch is finally here and on June 5 we will finally get more details about its compact flagship phone. The company has revealed a lot of features about the phone, including the colour options, OnePlus AI features, the new Plus Key and the hardware that will be powering the device. The OnePlus 13s is likely to feature a 6.32-inch display which makes it the ideal compact device with powerful credentials. The company has not told us more about the OnePlus 13s specifications but the flat design and the square-ish camera module hints at a dual sensor system like the 13T which should have a telephoto lens. A recent leak revealed that the OnePlus 13s launch price in India could start at Rs 50,000 and $649 for people in the US. We'll get all the details early next month. The gaming side of the GT 30 Pro includes dual capacitive shoulder GT triggers that can be remapped for different features. You also have the RGB lighting on the back panel which adds the X-factor for the device. The phone gets a 108MP primary camera along with an 8MP ultra-wide lens at the back. The GT 30 Pro packs a 5,500mAh battery that supports 45W wired 30W wireless charging speed. We expect the Infinix GT 30 Pro price in India to be around Rs 25,000 once again. Vivo T4 Ultra We haven't heard much about the T4 Ultra but reports suggest Vivo will be launching this mid-range phone in the first week of June. The device is expected to come with a MediaTek Dimensity 9000 series chipset, feature an OLED display and carry a triple rear camera setup that could include a 50MP periscope telephoto lens. The T4 Ultra should also have a 6,000mAh+ battery and support for 80W or higher charging speed. Expect the Vivo T4 Ultra to launch priced around Rs 32,000. Poco F7 Poco F-series could move beyond the F7 Ultra model with the launch of the F7 variant tipped for June 2025. This will most likely be a global launch where we could see the base F7 model line up alongside the premium versions. Reports say Poco will be using the new Snapdragon 8s Gen 4 chipset to power the device, offer a 1.5K OLED display and come packing a mammoth 7,550mAh battery in some regions. Poco F7 price should be around Rs 35,000 in the market. Motorola Edge 60 Motorola is another brand that is adding new products in a hurry and reports say the Edge 60 model could be the latest in its lineup next month. This device is likely to sport a quad-curved display, powered by the Snapdragon 7 Gen 3 chipset and pack a 6,000mAh battery with 68W charging speed on offer. First Published:

Infinix Note 50x 5G+ review: Gets the basics right
Rating: 3.5/5 Infinix Note 50x 5G+ is one of its latest additions to the brand's Note 50 series and is a contender in the affordable mid-range smartphone category. The phone, which succeeds last year's Infinix Note 40x, comes in a 6 GB + 128 GB version that starts at Rs 11,499, while the 8 GB + 128 GB variant is available for Rs 12,999 on Flipkart. The company claims this to be the first phone to come powered by MediaTek's Dimensity 7300 Ultimate chipset, as the device aims to provide strong performance for both gaming and seamless multitasking. The Note 50x also features hardware that looks capable on paper to stand up to the claim. This includes a 6.67-inch HD+ display with a 120 Hz refresh rate for smooth visuals, complemented by a 5,500 mAh battery, paired with 45W fast charging. The phone also promises an improved software experience with smoother navigation and better animations in the new XOS 15. But can the smartphone persist through challenges in real-life situations? We have put the X variant of Note 50x in Titanium Grey colour to the test in various situations over the days, and here's what we think about the phone: Design and display The Infinix Note 50x greets you with a matte-finish rear panel that feels surprisingly premium in hand, thanks to its special coating. The rectangular camera module (which the company calls Gem Cut) sits flush with the back, creating minimal wobble when placed on a table—something that we noticed while tapping its screen on the desk. At just under 200 grams and bearing an IP64 dust- and splash-resistance rating plus MIL-STD-810H certification, it strikes a smart balance between sturdiness and comfort. On the right edge, you'll find the power button (which doubles as a snappy side-mounted fingerprint sensor) and volume rocker, while the SIM tray, USB-C charging port and speaker grille sits on at the bottom. Flip it around and you're met with a 6.67-inch HD+ IPS display running at a 120 Hz refresh rate. Colours look vibrant indoors, and the Ultra Touch mode boosted responsiveness when we frantically tapped through my morning news feed. The phone's peak brightness is good enough that we could still make out navigation prompts under harsh midday sun, though fine text and UI elements do appear a bit soft at this resolution. Despite the 720p resolution, when we binge-watched Game of Thrones during a long flight, the visuals remained immersive; only the tiniest text in the end credits appeared fuzzy. Playing BGMI on the phone proved smooth: the display captured the smallest gestures, and the movements stayed crisp. Performance and gaming Under the hood sits MediaTek's Dimensity 7300 Ultimate chipset paired with up to 8 GB of LPDDR4X RAM and 128 GB of UFS 2.2 storage. Everyday tasks—from scrolling through social feeds to juggling multiple browser tabs—were handled effortlessly. On a recent road trip, we were able to edit photos, stream music, and hop between messaging apps without any noticeable slowdown. When it comes to gaming, the Note 50x truly shines for its class. Battling it out in BGMI at medium settings felt smooth, with frame rates holding steady even in heated gunfights. We even squeezed in a quick Call of Duty: Mobile session during a long train ride—graphics stayed crisp and input lag was minimal, though the phone did grow slightly warm after about half an hour. For gamers on a budget, the Note 50x delivers reliable, responsive performance well beyond its price tag. The Infinix Note 50x runs Android 15-based XOS 15 skin, with just a handful of pre-installed apps that can be ditched if not required. The result is a clean, fluid UI that never feels bogged down, and Infinix backs it with two years of OS updates plus three years of security patches. The Note 50x's AI suite in XOS 15 adds genuine everyday value without feeling gimmicky. The Gallery's AI Cutout tool allowed us to long-press on a photo of a dining table to isolate and share a picture of a morning espresso in seconds—no manual cropping needed—and the Text Extract feature pulled ingredients straight from a receipt snap for easy grocery list creation. During a cross-country video call, we tested Live Call Translation between English and Hindi in WhatsApp—while not flawless, it smoothed over language gaps when discussing dinner plans with family. Google's Circle to Search tool also shines on the Note 50x: circle-selecting a restaurant logo in a screenshot pulled up reviews instantly. Other handy tools include the Dynamic Bar for quick shortcuts, an AI-powered Wallpaper Generator that matches our home-screen aesthetic, and Smart Translation gestures for on-the-fly text conversion. Together, these features made the Note 50x feel smarter with every tap. Camera The Infinix Note 50x sports a 50 MP AI primary sensor alongside a 2 MP depth lens. The camera app is straightforward, with key modes—Photo, Video, Night, Portrait—easily accessible on the viewfinder. In bright daylight, the main camera delivers crisp shots with balanced colours and good dynamic range. We tested this by capturing a sunset over our office building; the subtle gradient and reflections held up beautifully. Digital zoom up to 2x retains reasonable clarity, but pushing beyond that softens details and blurs edges. When ambient light falls, Night mode kicks in automatically. While taking photos at night, we found images adequately exposed but were marked by noticeable noise and a slight loss of fine texture. The Note 50x handles portraits decently. As we snapped a friend in front of a leafy wall and the subject-background separation was generally accurate, though stray hairs were occasionally blurred. Here are some camera samples: The 8MP front camera also produces natural-looking selfies in daylight. We took one under neon club lights—colours were vivid, but as the lighting dropped, grain appeared in shadow areas. The Infinix Note 50x's video suite is surprisingly versatile for its class. With the rear camera, we were able to shoot up to 4K at 30 fps or dial down to 1080p with high-frame-rate options of 120 fps and 240 fps for smooth slow-mo clips. Resolution and frame-rate toggles are right in the viewfinder, so we were able to switch on the fly. In bright conditions, 4K footage is crisp with natural colours—we filmed fireworks in 4K, and each spark shimmered vividly. The 1080p@240 fps mode allowed us to capture our ultra-slow detail, good enough for sharing on social media. The 8MP front-facing camera records at up to 1440 p@30 fps (or 1080 p@30 fps), making it handy for vlogging. During a video call at a rooftop café, our faces stayed clear even against the sky's glare. Low-light video holds up decently at 1080p, though noise creeps in once the sun goes down, and the output gets a bit grainy. Digital stabilisation does a decent job of smoothing handheld pans, though rapid moves introduce slight judder. Battery As far as battery is concerned, the Infinix Note 50x houses a 5,500 mAh cell—500 mAh more than its predecessor—ensuring we easily made it through a full day of 5G browsing, BGMI sessions, and video calls with around 25 per cent left by bedtime. On a recent weekend road trip, we streamed Avengers: Endgame on the highway's shaky network and still had juice to spare for late-night messages. Charging is fast thanks to the 45 W wired charger: a flat battery reached 100% in roughly 40 minutes. We once topped up to 50% during breakfast in just 15 minutes, and it was enough to power us through the morning commute. The inclusion of bypass charging keeps the device cooler under heavy gaming loads, while 10W reverse charging allows us to lend power to the earbuds when needed. Verdict At a price under Rs 15,000, the Infinix Note 50x delivers a sturdy, splash-resistant design with MIL-STD-810H certification and an IP64 rating. Its 6.67-inch HD+ 120 Hz display ensures smooth scrolling, even if finer details lack the sharpness of higher-res screens. Under the hood, the MediaTek Dimensity 7300 Ultimate chipset and up to 8 GB of RAM handle daily tasks and casual gaming with ease. A 5,500 mAh battery paired with 45 W fast charging—and bypass charging for cooler gaming—easily lasts a full day. XOS 15's AI features add thoughtful conveniences without weighing down the UI. Daylight camera performance is reliable, though low-light shots and the HD resolution are minor compromises. Overall, the Note 50x is a well-rounded budget contender that balances performance, battery life, and useful extras for value-minded users. iPhone 16e: 5 Reasons to buy the most affordable iPhone 16 series model!

Google Store is live in India and people are getting crazy exchange value for their old Pixel phones
Google's official online store is finally here in India, and it's about time. Basically, you no longer need to wait for Flipkart restocks or hunt through third-party sellers, because you can now buy Pixel phones, Pixel Buds, and Pixel Watches straight from the source — Google. It's a clean, no-fuss experience, just as the company intended. And with the India store now live, there's a lot to be excited about — especially the crazy exchange deals. Let's get straight to the of the biggest highlights of the launch is the generous exchange offers on older devices, especially Pixel phones. If you've been thinking about upgrading to the latest Pixel 9, now might be the perfect time. The new Pixel 9 is priced at Rs 74,999 on the Google Store. Meanwhile, the Pixel 8 — which is still a solid phone — is currently selling for Rs 44,999 on Flipkart. But if you already own a Pixel 8 and want to switch to the newer model, you'll be glad to know that Google is offering a flat Rs 35,000 off when you exchange your Pixel 8, provided it's in good condition. That's nearly half the price of the new phone knocked off right away. And also keep in mind — that's Rs 35,000 for a phone that is 1.5 years old and is selling for Rs 9,999 more in brand-new condition. The Pixel 8 exchange deal is pretty By the way, this offer isn't just limited to Pixel phones either. Even an iPhone 15, when traded in, can fetch you the same Rs 35,000 discount on the Pixel 9. Clearly, Google wants as many people as possible to make the if you're not after the flagship and happen to be using a Pixel 8a, which is retailing at around Rs 37,999 on Flipkart, you can still benefit. Google will knock Rs 28,000 off the price of the upcoming Pixel 9a when you trade in your 8a. That's a pretty sweet deal considering the 8a is just a generation old. The exchange programme also works well for phones that are even two years old. For instance, exchanging a Pixel 7a for the 9a can get you Rs 20,000 off. Going from a Pixel 7 to a Pixel 9? That brings a discount of Rs 31,550 — which is actually more than what some people paid for the Pixel 7 when its price dropped to around Rs 37,000 in the final months of its not all exchange values are as tempting. Trading in a Pixel 6 for the Pixel 9 will only get you a Rs 10,000 discount. That's not much, considering the price people paid for it when it initially launched. But there's a catch — the Pixel 6 was never officially launched in India. In fact, for most Indian buyers, Pixel phones started to matter only after the Pixel 6a came into the picture. That was Google's true re-entry into the Indian smartphone it makes sense that Google values the 6a more than the 6 when it comes to exchange offers. If you own a Pixel 6a and want the new Pixel 9a, you're still looking at a Rs 15,000 discount. That's more than what the Pixel 6 gets, simply because the 6a was officially available in India and likely has better resale short, if you own a Pixel 6a, Pixel 7 series, or Pixel 8 series phone and are eyeing the new Pixel 9 line-up, now's a great time to upgrade. The exchange values are among the best we've seen from Google so new store also brings in some added benefits for buyers in India. There's a new Pixel Price Promise in place, which aims to ensure price transparency. If you happen to find a better price for the same product on the Google Store or from an authorised partner during your return window, Google will refund you the to make the experience even better, Google is promising improved after-sales support. Products bought from the official store will come with full warranty coverage, 24/7 customer service from trained experts, and even same-day servicing in select Indian cities.
