Upcoming Smartphone Launches in May 2025: OnePlus, Samsung, Realme & More Set to Make Headlines

The month of May 2025 is gearing up to be a treat for smartphone enthusiasts, with major brands like Samsung, OnePlus, Realme, Poco, and iQOO preparing to launch new models. Whether you're looking for premium performance or gaming power, there's something for everyone in this month's lineup.

Here’s a roundup of the biggest smartphone launches expected this May.

Samsung Galaxy S25 Edge

Samsung has been building anticipation around the Galaxy S25 Edge, and though it was initially expected in April, reports suggest a likely May 13 launch. The device is rumored to come with a 6.6-inch AMOLED display and a 120Hz refresh rate.

Its standout feature is its ultra-slim and lightweight build—just 5.84mm thick and weighing under 162 grams. Under the hood, it’s expected to run on the Snapdragon 8 Elite chipset, but the sleek design comes with a trade-off: a modest 3,900mAh battery with 25W charging.

OnePlus 13s

The OnePlus 13s has been officially confirmed for India, although a precise launch date hasn't been announced. Rumors suggest it may be a rebranded version of the OnePlus 13T, following the existing OnePlus 13R in the series.

This compact flagship is expected to feature the Snapdragon 8 Elite chip and a 6.32-inch display, offering high performance in a small form factor. OnePlus has teased black and pink color variants, with pricing expected to start around Rs 55,000, positioning it below the OnePlus 13.

Realme GT 7

Realme is ready to ramp up its gaming smartphone segment with the GT 7, teased heavily on social media. It promises up to six hours of high-frame-rate gameplay on BGMI, making it a strong choice for mobile gamers.

The GT 7 will be powered by the MediaTek Dimensity 9400+ chipset, paired with up to 16GB RAM and 1TB storage. It runs on Realme UI 6.0 based on Android 15, and is expected to launch alongside the GT 7 Pro.

Poco F7

The Poco F7 is set for a global debut in May, with a potential simultaneous launch in India alongside the F7 Ultra. The smartphone will likely feature the Snapdragon 8s Gen 4 processor, up to 16GB RAM, and a 6.8-inch AMOLED display.

A major highlight is the 7,550mAh battery with support for 90W fast charging. Additionally, the phone could come with an IP69 rating and a dual-rear camera setup.

iQOO Neo 10

Following the launch of the Neo 10R, iQOO is expected to bring the Neo 10 to India soon. While the Neo 10 Pro+ is debuting in China, reports suggest that India may get a similar high-end model.

The Neo 10 is tipped to feature an OLED display, dual rear cameras, and 120W fast charging. It's expected to be a flagship-level offering, strengthening iQOO’s premium segment portfolio.
