Top Smartphones Launching in India in June 2026 — Don't Miss These!
"Leica cameras, massive battery, flagship performance — all under Rs. 65,000"
After a long gap of over four years, Xiaomi has finally brought its T-series back to India, and it has returned in style. The Xiaomi 17T launched officially on June 4, 2026, and went on sale today — June 10 — on Amazon India and Xiaomi's official stores. This is the most affordable phone in Xiaomi's flagship lineup, sitting below the Xiaomi 17 and the Xiaomi 17 Ultra, but it punches well above its price with a Leica-tuned camera system and a 6,500mAh battery that is simply unmatched in this segment.
The standout feature is the 5x periscope telephoto camera — the only one available under Rs. 65,000 in India right now. You get the same optical zoom capability as the Xiaomi 17 Ultra, which costs over Rs. 1,00,000. That is incredible value. Pair that with the MediaTek Dimensity 8500-Ultra chipset (scoring over 2 million on AnTuTu), a gorgeous 1.5K AMOLED display with 3,500 nits peak brightness, and Android 16 with Xiaomi HyperOS 3 out of the box, and you have a very well-rounded package.
| Xiaomi 17T — Key Specifications | |
|---|---|
| Display | 6.59-inch 1.5K AMOLED, 120Hz, 3,500 nits peak |
| Processor | MediaTek Dimensity 8500-Ultra (4nm) |
| RAM / Storage | 12GB LPDDR5X / 256GB or 512GB |
| Rear Camera | 50MP main + 50MP 5x periscope telephoto + 12MP ultra-wide |
| Front Camera | 32MP |
| Battery | 6,500mAh with 67W HyperCharge |
| OS | Android 16 + Xiaomi HyperOS 3 |
| Build | IP68, Corning Gorilla Glass 7i |
| Colours | Violet, Blue, Black |
| Price | Rs. 59,999 (256GB) / Rs. 64,999 (512GB) |
With eligible bank cards, you can get an instant discount of Rs. 5,000, which makes the effective starting price Rs. 54,999. That is genuinely hard to beat for a phone with Leica optics and a 6,500mAh battery.
Best camera phone under Rs. 65,000 in India right now. The 5x periscope telephoto alone justifies the price. If photography and battery life are your top priorities, this is your phone.
"A 5,200-nit display, 50x zoom, and 6,500mAh battery — at an unbelievable price"
Motorola launched the Edge 70 Pro Plus in India on June 4, 2026 — the same day as the Xiaomi 17T — making it a massive day for Indian smartphone buyers. The Edge 70 Pro Plus is the first-ever Pro Plus model in Motorola's Edge series, and it addresses the biggest criticism of the Edge 70 Pro: the missing periscope telephoto camera. This time, Motorola has included a 50MP periscope telephoto with 3.5x optical zoom, backed by a Sony LYT-710 primary sensor.
But the real showstopper here is the display. The 6.8-inch quad-curved Extreme AMOLED panel hits an incredible 5,200 nits peak brightness — a figure you would normally see only in ultra-premium flagships. Add a 144Hz refresh rate, 1.5K resolution, and Corning Gorilla Glass 7i protection, and this is arguably the best display you can get under Rs. 50,000 in India today.
The phone runs clean, bloat-free Android 16 out of the box and promises 8 years of combined OS and security updates — a future-proof commitment that rivals Samsung's Galaxy A57. First sale goes live on June 11 on Flipkart and Motorola.in.
| Motorola Edge 70 Pro Plus — Key Specifications | |
|---|---|
| Display | 6.8-inch 1.5K Extreme AMOLED, 144Hz, 5,200 nits peak |
| Processor | MediaTek Dimensity 8500 Extreme |
| RAM / Storage | 12GB / 256GB (single variant) |
| Rear Camera | 50MP Sony LYT-710 (OIS) + 50MP ultra-wide + 50MP 3.5x periscope |
| Front Camera | 50MP |
| Battery | 6,500mAh with 90W TurboPower wired + 15W wireless |
| OS | Android 16 (8 years OS + security updates) |
| Build | Quad-curved body, 7.34mm thin |
| Colours | Pantone Chicory Coffee, Pantone Stormy Sea, Pantone Zinfandel |
| Price | Rs. 47,999 (effective Rs. 44,999 with Rs. 3,000 bank cashback) |
For under Rs. 50,000, getting a triple 50MP camera system including a periscope lens, a flagship-level 5,200-nit display, 90W fast charging with wireless charging support, and 8 years of software updates is genuinely outstanding value. The only real miss is the USB 2.0 port instead of USB 3.x, which feels like a cost-cutting move at this price.
The best phone under Rs. 50,000 in June 2026 for display quality and long-term software support. A brilliant choice for BGMI players, binge-watchers, and camera enthusiasts on a tighter budget.
OnePlus 15s 5G — The Compact Flagship India Is Waiting For
The OnePlus 15s is one of the most anticipated phones of mid-2026 and is widely expected to launch in India before the end of June 2026. Based on the China-exclusive OnePlus 15T, this will be a compact flagship targeting buyers who want flagship-level power without a bulky 6.7-inch+ body.
| OnePlus 15s — Expected Specifications (Leaked) | |
|---|---|
| Display | 6.32-inch 1.5K AMOLED, 165Hz, up to 3,600 nits peak |
| Processor | Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 |
| RAM / Storage | 12GB RAM (variants TBA) |
| Rear Camera | 50MP main + 50MP 3.5x periscope telephoto |
| Front Camera | 16MP |
| Battery | 7,500mAh silicon-carbon battery |
| OS | OxygenOS 16 (Android 16) |
| Build | IP68 + IP69K, ultrasonic fingerprint sensor |
| Expected Price | Under Rs. 60,000 (expected) |
A 7,500mAh battery in a phone that fits comfortably in one hand — powered by a flagship Snapdragon chip — is nearly unheard of. If the price holds under Rs. 60,000, the OnePlus 15s could easily be the best value flagship of 2026 in India. Watch this space.
