July shaped up to be an exciting month for phone enthusiasts in India. We saw the debut of several flagship-grade handsets such as the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 7 and Flip 7, and the Nothing Phone 3. Several phones in the mid-range and budget segments also made their debut. While it was certainly an eventful month, August is expected to bring down the hype when it comes to smartphone launches. That said, there are still a few exciting launches happening this month. Most notably, the Pixel 10 series will be unveiled at the Made by Google event later in August.
So, if buying a new smartphone is on your mind, then it might be prudent to wait a little while. We have compiled a list of the upcoming smartphones in August 2025 to let you know about what’s to come and help you make an informed buying decision.
