Upcoming phone launches in October 2024: The excitement surrounding smartphones has been paramount in September 2024, where many high-profile devices have been launched. Among the highly anticipated are iPhone 16 series, Vivo T3 Ultra, and Motorola Razr 50, each of which promises something special. As if it is not exciting enough to take on the month of September, October will apparently take it a notch higher due to its lineup of flagship devices grandly making their entrances.
Upcoming Phone launches in October 2024
1. OnePlus 13: A Flagship to Watch Out For
One of the biggest launches this coming October is the OnePlus 13. Already known for pushing the boundaries of smartphone technology, OnePlus recently confirmed that its newest flagship would be launching in China this month. A lot had been promised because the OnePlus 13 is expected to be a beast when it comes to performance, with the Qualcomm next-generation chip designed for lightning-fast processing speeds and efficient multitasking packed into it-the upcoming Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 processor.
One of the great features of OnePlus 13 is a battery-6,000mAh, with great capabilities that can give maximum battery life. For that large battery, users will receive support from 100W fast charging to get power back in no time. Power and speed will ensure increased use of this phone for high performance demand by everyday applications.
In design, the phone should be typical for OnePlus, with very minimal and sleek looks on top of a high-resolution display that should deliver rather sharp visuals as well as transitions. Camera module details are unavailable yet, but one can expect the company to do its best yet again in photography performance as has often been seen so far.
2. iQOO 13: Vivo's Sub-Brand Offers a Premium Experience
Vivo’s sub-brand, iQOO, is said to set the flagship series iQOO 13 in the Chinese market in October, thus making another contender join the quest. Similar to the OnePlus 13, the iQOO 13 will be driven by the most powerful Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 chip for extreme performance. It also boasts an IP68 rating making this device very waterproof and dustproof against damage and can be used at any place or condition.
The iQOO 13 will feature a 6.7-inch 2K AMOLED display boasting 144Hz refresh rate. Those who need ultra-smooth performance with really crisp graphics, it creates much excitement. The storage capacity of the phone is said to be up to 16GB RAM and 512GB. It means to have enough space in case the users are heavy or multitaskers.
On the battery front, that 6,150mAh battery promises long-lasting power, and with 100W fast charging users won’t have to wait very long to top up their battery. To be sure, I’d look for this to be a powerhouse on paper, combining, as one would expect, the top-tier specs with a focus on delivering a premium user experience.
3. Samsung Galaxy S24 FE: The Fan Favorite Returns
The latest to the Samsung Fan Edition series has been just announced, and the phone is the Galaxy S24 FE. The phone was officially launched last month in September. From October 3rd onwards, it will be available in the Indian market. The Galaxy S24 FE is fueled by the Samsung Exynos 2400e chipset, designed for reliable performance and efficiency.
It sports a 4,700mAh battery, so you can look forward to decent endurance for most use cases, especially if you’re a moderate to heavy user. Additionally, it runs with up to 8GB of RAM and 512GB of storage, providing you with adequate memory to perform the usual stuff, apps, and media without slowing down the device. The S24 FE has continued the trajectory of Samsung and being fan-focused in that they load up these devices with all flagship features at an affordable price point.
Samsung did not forget the camera setup; this is also expected to be strong in the set for its money. Fans of the Fan Edition series will find something to appreciate in this iteration, that seems to find a sweet spot between what can be considered as more or less premium and value.
4. Lava Agni 3: The Indian Contender
Another Indian smartphone manufacturer that will cause some waves is Lava, with the upcoming launch of Lava Agni 3 on October 4. The phone can be expected to rise as a mid-ranger with a fair balance between performance and price. Agni 3 has been sporting a 6.78-inch Full HD+ display with 120Hz refresh rate for smooth viewing.
At the core of this device is the MediaTek Dimensity 7300 processor, capable and robust for its category, and presumably can also be found on the CMF Phone 1 and Motorola Edge 50 Neo. The phone will come allegedly with 8GB of RAM and 256GB of storage, but we will have more details on storage and RAM type when the official launch takes place.
Speaking of cameras, the Lava Agni 3 may sport a quad-camera system and is rumored to be available with a 64MP primary camera, 8MP ultra-wide lens, 2MP macro shooter, and 2MP depth sensor. This range would provide users with a good measure of photography needs from high-resolution shots to macro and wide-angle photography.
The Agni 3 will run on Lava’s own UI, based on Android 14 and promises a near stock Android experience. It will be powered by a 5,000mAh battery that supports 66W fast charging. In the mid-range segment, it will be a strong player.
5. Infinix Zero Flip: Stylish Foldable
Another one of the exciting launches that is said to be taking place in October is Infinix Zero Flip. While the phone has already hit several markets, expectations for its arrival in India are set for this month. The promise of Infinix’s first-ever flip phone is based on the stylish and innovative design it is intended to bring to the market and to allow the usage of a foldable device for users.
The Zero Flip also comes with a 6.9-inch LTPO AMOLED, featuring 120Hz refresh rate animation with fluid color display. Meanwhile, the cover panel is not an exception, with an 1056 x 1066 pixels resolution that allows for quick or casual notifications and interactions without the requirement for unfolding the phone.
The Zero Flip will run MediaTek Dimensity 8020 under the skin combined with a Mali G77 MC9 GPU for excellent graphics. RAM will be up to 8 GB combined with 512GB storage, thus allowing more than enough space for applications, multimedia, and multi-tasking.
The camera front features a 50MP primary sensor and a 50MP ultra-wide-angle lens. The Zero Flip is a pretty formidable device for photography enthusiasts. The 32MP front camera is perfect for selfies and video calls, in sharp focus and showing good pictures.
October 2024: A Month of Innovation and Competition
For smartphone fans, October 2024 will be a hall of fame moment as every brand is bringing something different from the others. OnePlus and iQOO are known for their level of flagship experience, whereas Samsung, Lava, and Infinix appear to have covered all bases about user requirements.
