Last month was crazy for smartphone launches, with a whirlwind of new devices and travel across three countries in just three weeks. But from what I’m hearing from my sources, August 2025 promises to be just as exciting, if not more! The smartphone monsoon is truly a year-long phenomenon, and nothing can stop it. Get ready, because a lot of highly anticipated devices are lined up for release.
In this detailed guide, we’ll dive into the top upcoming phones expected to launch in August 2025. We’ll cover their key specifications, unique features, and expected pricing, helping you decide which one might be your next upgrade!
1. Motorola Moto G86 Power: A Budget Powerhouse with a Twist
Motorola is kicking off August with a bang, launching both a phone and a laptop. Let’s focus on the phone first: the Moto G86 Power. This model has already launched globally, and while you might expect a typical Moto design with a curved screen and vegan leather back, this one brings a surprise.
- Display: It features a flat 1.5K PLED panel with Gorilla Glass 7i protection, promising a super bright and durable viewing experience.
- Camera: A dual-camera setup includes a 50-megapixel main sensor and an 8-megapixel ultrawide lens.
- Battery: Powering the device is a massive 6,720 mAh battery, ensuring long-lasting usage.
- Durability: It boasts a good IP rating along with military-grade certification, making it quite robust.
- Processor: Globally, it uses the Dimensity 7300 processor. However, the Indian variant will come with the Dimensity 7400, which is essentially a rebranded 7300.
- Expected Price: This phone is expected to launch under ₹20,000, making it a very attractive option in the budget segment.
(Side Note: Motorola is also launching the Motobook 60 Pro laptop. It will come in two variants: one with Intel Core Ultra 5, 16GB RAM, 512GB SSD, and another with Intel Core Ultra 7 with more RAM. Both will feature a 14-inch 2.8K OLED display with 500 nits peak brightness and Pantone-validated colors, expected around ₹60,000-₹70,000.)
2. Google Pixel 10 Series: A Major Processor Shift
Google is all set to unveil its Pixel 10 series on August 20th. As always, leaks have preceded the launch, maintaining Google’s tradition! This year, we’re expecting four phones: the Pixel 10, 10 Pro, 10 Pro Fold, and 10 Pro XL.
Google Pixel 10
The Pixel 10 will maintain a very similar design to its predecessors but with a significant camera upgrade.
- Camera: It gets three cameras instead of two. While the main and ultrawide sensors are reportedly downgraded from last year, you’ll gain a brand new 10.8-megapixel periscope lens with 5x optical zoom. This makes the overall camera setup far more versatile than the Pixel 9.
- Display: It will feature a 6.3-inch Full HD+ display.
- Battery: A 4,970 mAh battery with decent charging speeds is expected.
- Software: It will launch with Android 16 and an impressive promise of 7 years of updates.
- Processor Highlight: The biggest news is the processor. The Tensor G5 will be based on TSMC’s 3nm process. This is a crucial move, as the previous G4 processor (based on Exynos) faced heating and connectivity issues. This change is a big step for Pixel, potentially addressing a key reason why some users avoided the brand.
Google Pixel 10 Pro
The Pixel 10 Pro will offer a more premium experience.
- Display: Expect a 6.3-inch LTPO display.
- Camera: It will feature a triple rear camera setup: a 50-megapixel main sensor, a 48-megapixel periscope lens with 5x optical zoom, and a 48-megapixel ultrawide lens that can also take macros.
- Battery & Charging: Both battery capacity and charging speeds will see slight increases.
- Processor & Storage: It will, of course, come with the latest Tensor G5, ample RAM, and four storage options.
Google Pixel 10 Pro XL
This variant will likely share similar specifications with the 10 Pro, but with a bigger battery and faster charging speeds.
Google Pixel 10 Pro Fold
The foldable Pixel won’t see major design changes from last year.
- Design: The hinge will be slimmer, and the outer display will be slightly brighter and bigger due to reduced bezels.
- Durability: It’s expected to come with IP68 certification.
- Competition: It faces tough competition from recently launched foldables like the Z Flip 7. We hope Google brings some pleasant surprises!
3. Vivo V60: A Focus on Software and Camera
Vivo is also gearing up for several new phone launches in August. The most exciting one is the Vivo V60.
- Processor: It will be powered by the Snapdragon 7 Gen 4 chipset.
- Camera: A triple rear camera setup includes a 50-megapixel main sensor, a 50-megapixel telephoto lens with 3x optical zoom, and an 8-megapixel ultrawide lens.
- Battery: A large 6500 mAh battery will provide ample power.
- Software Highlight: The biggest highlight is that it will launch with Android 16 out of the box. There are also rumors it might come with Original OS features, potentially making FunTouch OS truly enjoyable.
- Expected Price: The pricing is expected to be around ₹40,000.
(Other rumored Vivo launches for next month include the Vivo T4 Pro and Vivo Y400. The Vivo T4R is launching on July 31st and is a rebranded iQOO Z10.)
4. Oppo K13 Turbo & K13 Turbo Pro: Gaming Powerhouses with Built-in Fans
Oppo is launching two very exciting phones designed for performance-oriented gamers: the Oppo K13 Turbo and the Oppo K13 Turbo Pro.
- Unique Feature: Both phones will come with built-in fans! Leaked photos show a vertical camera module that not only houses the cameras but also a fan. The bottom circle is an RGB fan, and there are side vents to let air out, ensuring optimal cooling during intense gaming sessions.
- Base Variant: Both phones will offer a base variant with 12GB of RAM and 256GB of storage.
- Processors: The K13 Turbo will feature the Dimensity 8450. The K13 Turbo Pro will get the more powerful Snapdragon 8S Gen 4.
- Battery & Camera: Both models will pack a massive 7,000 mAh battery and share the same camera setup.
- Expected Launch & Price: These phones are expected to launch in India in mid-August, with a starting price of ₹25,000 to ₹30,000. At this price, they pose a significant threat to competitors like Poco and iQOO.
5. Xiaomi 15 CV: A Premium Mid-Ranger
Xiaomi might also be launching the Xiaomi 15 CV in August, aiming for the premium mid-range segment.
- Processor: It will be powered by the Snapdragon 8s Gen 4 processor.
- RAM & Storage: Expect configurations with up to 16GB of RAM and 512GB of UFS 4.0 storage, ensuring top-tier performance and ample space.
- Camera: A versatile camera setup includes a 50-megapixel main camera, a 50-megapixel telephoto lens with 2.5x optical zoom, a 12-megapixel ultrawide, and a single 50-megapixel front camera.
- Battery: It will feature a larger 6,000 mAh silicon-carbon battery.
- Display: The phone will sport a 6.5-inch 120Hz LTPS AMOLED panel, promising vibrant visuals and smooth interactions.
- Expected Price: The pricing for this phone should be around ₹40,000.
(Note: There are rumors about Samsung launching their Fan Edition (FE) in August, but these are baseless. The Samsung FE is confirmed for October or mid-September, not before that.)
