November 2025 is turning out to be a blockbuster month for smartphone enthusiasts in India, as not one, not two, but four Android smartphones are set to hit the market. We’re talking about three Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5-powered handsets from realme, OnePlus, and iQOO, and two Dimensity 9500-powered flagships (part of the same series) from Oppo. Aside from that, Nothing and Lava will also launch one mid-ranger each.
Whether you’re after cutting-edge performance or solid everyday reliability on a budget, there’s a phone for every price segment in the coming weeks.

Upcoming Smartphones in November 2025
- Nothing Phone 3a Lite
- Launch Date: November First Week (Expected)
The London-based smartphone manufacturer Nothing is gearing up to launch a new smartphone early in November: the Phone 3a Lite. According to a recent Dealabs report, the handset could debut in Europe on November 4, 2025, at a price of around EUR 249.99.
Most recently, the affordable smartphone was spotted in a Geekbench listing. It revealed the presence of the Dimensity 7300 chipset, the Mali-G615 MC2 GPU, 8GB of RAM, and 128GB of storage on the device. On the benchmarking platform, the phone scores 1,003 points in the single-core test and 2,925 points in the multi-core test.
The phone is also expected to arrive in India at a price of Rs. 20,000, competing with rivals like the OnePlus Nord CE 4 Lite 5G (review), the realme 14 Pro Lite 5G, the Galaxy A17 5G (review), and other similarly priced products. While the phone could feature a design similar to the regular Phone 3a, it will be available in two colors: white and black.

2. realme GT 8 Pro
- Launch Date: November 11, 2025 (Expected)
The realme GT 8 series went official in China last week. Of the two phones that debuted in the company’s home market, one will arrive in India soon. We’re talking about the realme GT 8 Pro, which should arrive in the Indian market on November 11, 2025 (ahead of the OnePlus 15’s expected launch).
The realme GT 8 Pro features a 6.79-inch LTPO AMOLED screen with a local peak brightness of 7,000 nits, runs on the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 SoC paired with up to 16GB of RAM and 1TB of storage, sports a 200MP telephoto camera for retaining more details at higher zoom levels, and a 7,000 mAh Si/C battery that supports 120W wired and 50W wireless charging.

With its Chinese launch scheduled for later today, i.e., October 27, 2025, the OnePlus 15 could arrive in India by the second week of November. Latest reports indicate an Indian launch on November 13 for the flagship Android smartphone.
Ahead of the phone’s launch, we already know a good deal about its specifications. First, the flagship will feature a 6.78-inch LTPO AMOLED screen that supports 165Hz refresh rate. Under the hood, it will run on the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 chipset with up to 16GB of RAM and 1TB of UFS 4.1 storage.
While the Chinese version of the handset will arrive with ColorOS 16, the Indian version will feature OxygenOS 16. Other features of the smartphone include a triple 50MP rear-facing module, Wi-Fi 7, and a 7,300 mAh Si/C battery that supports 120W wired charging and 50W wireless charging.

4. Oppo Find X9 & Find X9 Pro
- Launch Date: November 18 (Exclusive)
Early in October, we exclusively revealed that the Find X9 series could arrive in India on November 18, 2025. In the same post, we mentioned how the company plans to unveil ColorOS 16 on October 15, 2025, and that happened.
Both the flagships in the series — the Find X9 and the Find X9 Pro — are already official in China. Over the years, we’ve noticed that there’s hardly any difference between those models and the ones that arrive in India, and hence, this year should be no exception.
While the X9 Pro has a bigger 6.78-inch LTPO AMOLED screen, the vanilla X9 features a 6.59-inch AMOLED screen. While the former supports adaptive refresh rate, the latter lacks the feature but includes 3,840Hz PWM dimming.
Under the hood, both phones run on the Dimensity 9500 (3nm) SoC with a 4.21 GHz prime core, up to 16GB of LPDDR5X RAM, and UFS 4.1 storage. Out of the box, the phones come pre-installed with ColorOS 16 based on Android 16.
The regular X9 sports a triple-rear-facing camera setup (50MP), but the X9 Pro replaces the telephoto sensor with a 200MP sensor. Talking about the phones’ expected price, the vanilla Find X9 could debut at around Rs. 75,000, while the Find X9 Pro could debut at around Rs. 1,00,000.

5. iQOO 15
- Launch Date: November 27 (Exclusive)
Last year, iQOO beat OnePlus to market with its latest Snapdragon-powered flagship here in India: iQOO 13 (review). Even though both companies have preponed their launch cycles this year, iQOO has opted for a late-November launch.
Just yesterday, we published an exclusive report stating that the iQOO 15 will arrive in India on November 27, 2025, about two weeks after the OnePlus 15’s expected launch. Replacing the long-running Funtouch OS, iQOO’s latest Android flagship will be the first to run on OriginOS 6 out of the box.
The phone is already official in its native market, where it starts from CNY 4,199 for the baseline variant with 12GB of RAM and 256GB of storage. Among its key specifications are a 6.85-inch 2K+ LTPO AMOLED screen, the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 SoC paired with a Q3 gaming chip that delivers 2K+ resolution at 144 fps, a triple 50MP camera setup, and a 7,000 mAh battery that supports 100W wired and 40W wireless charging.
Back in December 2024, the iQOO 13 launched in India at Rs. 54,999, making it one of the most affordable phones with the Snapdragon 8 Elite chipset. The same could be true for the iQOO 15. Even though we’re expecting the phone to arrive with a slight price hike, around Rs. 60,000 for the baseline variant, it could still be among the most affordable Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 smartphones in India.
6. Lava Agni 4
- Launch Date: November
The Indian smartphone manufacturer Lava has confirmed that it will launch the Agni 4 in India next month. Although the date of launch isn’t official yet, the phone has already been spotted on the Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS), hinting at an imminent launch.
The phone could feature a 6.78-inch FHD+ screen with a 120Hz refresh rate, run on the Dimensity 8350 paired with UFS 4.0 storage, and a battery that’s bigger than 7,000 mAh. For capturing pictures, the phone is said to feature a dual 50MP camera setup.
The phone’s price could be under Rs. 25,000 in India.

vivo X300 Series
Paving the way for December launches are the vivo X300 and the vivo X300 Pro, two camera-centric smartphones that will arrive in the first week of the month. Seems like the Chinese manufacturer is pretty confident about its handsets’ placement, as they’re the last of the 2026 batch to arrive in India (except the Ultra models and Samsung’s Galaxy S26 series).
