March was a wild month for smartphone enthusiasts, with major brands like Nothing, Xiaomi, Poco, and Samsung unveiling their latest innovations. However, April is set to be even more exciting, bringing a mix of budget-friendly options, ultra-slim designs, and unexpected surprises.
One of the most anticipated releases is Samsung’s Galaxy S25 Edge, officially launching on April 16. This device first made an appearance during the Galaxy S25 Ultra’s debut and later at MWC, where attendees were not allowed to get their hands on it. That wait is finally over. Samsung has created a remarkably slim and lightweight flagship, measuring just 5.84mm in thickness and weighing 162g. Despite its compact build, it boasts a Snapdragon 8-series processor, a dual-camera setup with a main sensor similar to the Ultra variant, and a 6.7-inch QHD display. The software experience is powered by One UI 7 based on Android 15. While the battery capacity remains at 4,000mAh, with 25W wired charging, wireless and reverse wireless charging are included. Pricing details remain unknown, but the announcement is right around the corner.
Motorola is also gearing up for a strong comeback. After a slow start to 2025, the brand is kicking off an aggressive launch cycle with the Moto S60 Fusion. This new device builds on the success of the Moto H50 Fusion, one of the company’s top-selling phones of 2024. The S60 Fusion introduces an upgraded 1.5K quad-curved AMOLED display with a peak brightness of 4,500 nits. Performance gets a boost with the Dimensity 7400 chipset, and the base storage now starts at 256GB, a move that many believe should become standard across the industry. While other specifications remain under wraps, Moto AI 2.0 is expected to introduce never-before-seen artificial intelligence features. With a launch planned for early April, the estimated price hovers around ₹25,000.
iQOO isn’t slowing down either. The upcoming iQOO Z10 is making waves for its battery capacity rather than raw performance. Packing a massive 7,300mAh battery, this device offers unprecedented endurance while maintaining a sleek 7.8mm thickness, defying expectations of bulkiness. Alongside the battery, it features a 6.7-inch quad-curved 120Hz display, a refined dual-camera setup, and an upgraded 32MP front-facing sensor. Launching on April 11, the Z10 is expected to retail for ₹20,000.
Since the introduction of the CMF Phone 1, Nothing has disrupted the budget segment by offering a top-tier software experience and surprising gaming capabilities. Now, the CMF Phone 2 is generating high expectations. This year, Nothing might switch to Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 7s Gen 3, mirroring its strategy with the Nothing Phone 3A and 3A Pro. However, speculation suggests the Dimensity 850 is also a possible contender. The design retains a 6.7-inch 120Hz AMOLED display, while the camera system includes dual 50MP sensors for the main and ultrawide cameras, alongside a 32MP selfie shooter. Charging speeds receive an upgrade, now supporting 44W fast charging. While the exact release date is uncertain, the CMF Phone 2 could debut in late April or early May at an estimated price of ₹17,000.
Vivo is also preparing to unveil two new devices: the Vivo V50, a camera-centric model, and the Vivo T4, focused on performance. Although details remain scarce, the V50’s camera setup is expected to remain similar to its predecessor, but with a refreshed design inspired by the Vivo S20 in China. The T4 will incorporate the Snapdragon 7s Gen 3, feature a quad-curved display, and introduce thinner bezels. Essentially, the Vivo T4 will be a rebranded version of the iQOO Z10, sharing most of its specifications.
Unfortunately, not all anticipated phones are arriving in April. Two highly awaited devices—the Poco F7 and the OnePlus 13 Mini—are scheduled for later launches. The Poco F7 will debut in May, while the OnePlus 13 Mini is expected to arrive sometime between May and June.
With so many exciting devices hitting the market, choosing the right smartphone is becoming more challenging than ever. Whether you’re looking for cutting-edge AI features, extraordinary battery life, or flagship-level performance in a slim package, April 2025 is shaping up to be a game-changing month for smartphone enthusiasts. Stay tuned for more updates, and let us know which phone you’re most excited about!
