Samsung Galaxy S26 series is probably going to steal all the headlines next month and rightly so. The company shared its first (supposed) pre-launch teaser for the new flagships and most leaks suggest it could happen by the end of next month. We expect the next Unpacked event to take place around February 25 or 26, where we will see the Galaxy S26, S26 Plus and the S26 Ultra models once again. The new phones are likely to come with reliable upgrades but more on that later.
iQOO 15R will be a new mid-range phone from the brand in the Indian market, also confirmed to launch in February 2026. This device will be powered by Snapdragon 8 Gen 5 chipset and tipped to carry a 7,600mAh battery with 100W fast charging support. The cameras and design could also become a highlight of the new iQOO 15 series phone.
Vivo V70 series is launching this month, and teasers suggest we might see a new Elite model in this lineup. The Zeiss cameras will understandably be the focus once again but we could see some design changes with the models along with some performance upgrades, at least for one of the devices.
This is more on the guess work and possibility of Apple repeating the iPhone 16e launch timeline this year as well. The second version of the ‘e’ is tipped for a design overhaul. This means the wide notch from the iPhone 16e could give way for the Dynamic Island. However, don’t expect premium features like ProMotion 120Hz display on the 17e, as it will continue to support the standard 60Hz refresh rate on the regular 6.1-inch OLED panel. The new version could have the same 18MP front shooter as the premium iPhone 17 models.
Oppo K14x is also entering the market this month and the brand has officially confirmed the date when it will be announced. This is the successor to the K13x mid-range model which is tipped to focus on durability, but with a sleek design and carrying a 6,500mAh battery. It is getting a 120Hz refresh rate display but over an LCD panel. The phone is likely to feature a dual rear camera system and the new model could launch for around Rs 15,000 this year.
And finally, you have the Motorola Edge series getting another Fusion. The official launch date is not known but leaks suggest we could see the new model next month. This could be a premium mid-ranger with Snapdragon 7s Gen 4 chipset, a 50MP triple camera system and packing a 7,000mAh battery.
