Apple iPhone SE 4, Nothing Phone 3a, Oppo Find N5, Galaxy S25 Ultra, Google Pixel 9a-Top Launches In 2025

The standout Samsung Galaxy S25 series has been launched recently, but that does not mean the best is done and dusted for the year as there are a huge number of amazing smartphones on the way. These upcoming smartphone launches are from a number of top manufacturers including Apple, Nothing, Samsung, Oppo and more. On top of the heap is Apple iPhone SE 4 launch today (expected).

Apple iPhone SE 4

The Apple iPhone SE 4 launch, which many reports are saying may release today and some saying this week, has grabbed the spotlight. While the SE series has always rolled out small and minimalistic smartphones in every way, now it appears this has changed. Not only will it be as large a smartphone as the iPhone 16, pack an edge-to-edge OLED display, and likely to offer the same chip, AI capability, and a USB-C port. But one big difference is that there will be just one camera (48MP). Price, around Rs 49000 (Under $500). The look itself is based entirely on iPhone 14.

Oppo Find N5

Oppo Find N5 is a foldable, but at first glance you may be fooled into thinking it is not. The smartphone is being touted as the world's smallest foldable smartphone. Oppo is already targeting Samsung Galaxy Fold smartphones about it being thinner and most of all, there is no display crease visible! The thinness and the crease-less aspects are what it is laying its claim to fame on. However, the specs are nothing to be sneezed at either. It even touts water-resistance rating as high as IPX9. The chip may well be Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Elite.

Nothing Phone 3a

And then there is a smartphone called Nothing. The launch of Nothing Phone 3a is on the cards. It is an affordable smartphone and may be priced at under Rs 30000. Its claim to fame may rest on its camera as well as a shutter button on the side that will remind Apple fans of iPhone 16. It may be called Nothing, but the smartphone is definitely an attention grabber due to its Glyph lighting.

Samsung Galaxy S25 Edge

At the time of the launch of the Samsung Galaxy S25 series, the company teased the Samsung Galaxy S25 Edge and it created quite a buzz. Although it was not launched with the other phones in the S25 series, just the fact that it was teased was enough for all those gathered there to rush towards it. It is too is a very thin smartphone. In fact, expectations were that it would be named 'Slim', but that did not happen. Expectations are quite high about its specs and features and price. Another slim smartphone that is likely to launch is from Apple - the iPhone 17 Air.

Google Pixel 9a

If you like the fact that your smartphone and the OS that powers it are from the same company, then Google Pixel handsets are just for you. And if the premium prices of its flagship models do not appeal to you, then the upcoming Google Pixel 9a is just what you were waiting for. While it may be an affordable smartphone, it will likely pack two cameras at the rear. Notably, Pixel phones are known for setting photography standards quite high. It will likely pack a Tensor G4 chip and have 8GB of RAM to ensure full AI capability. Just like its predecessor, this phone is expected to be priced at under $450. It is expected to launch on March 19.
