Monthly Round-up Of Smartphones Launched in April 2024

India saw a multitude of launches in September, which was quite odd considering we fear and dread Techtober as the month that sees a lot of launches, but this time, September saw a whole lot of action. That being said, let us not delay the important topic any further and list out the devices that were launched in September.

1. Samsung Galaxy M51

One of the first few devices to launch in Techtember, the Samsung Galaxy M51 made quite a lot of headlines for three features in particular. The first being pricing, Rs 25,000 onwards, the second being the inclusion of a Snapdragon 730G, which also meant the deviation of Samsung from Exynos in the mid-range segment and finally, a mammoth 7000 mAh battery.

Advertised as a monster device, it really is a monster of sorts, which offers good performance, ample battery life, and familiar Samsung hardware. This was one of the most compelling launches by Samsung in recent times.

2. Oppo F17 Pro

This device had a peculiar launch event, to say the least, with the event seeming more like a concert than a launch event. The device that launched was quite interesting though, so that makes up for the other things.

The Oppo F17 Pro features a 6.43-inch AMOLED panel, 48-megapixel quad cameras, a stunning design with a slim body, and the Helio P95. The device was priced at Rs 22990, which is not too expensive, but, it is far from being competitive. The smartphone also featured dual selfie cameras that added to its feature set.

3. Oppo F17

Alongside the Oppo F17 Pro, the brand launched the lite version of the Oppo F17 Pro, which was the vanilla Oppo F17. This device features a similar 6.4-inch Super AMOLED display, but, with a waterdrop notch to the top.

Powered by the Snapdragon 662, it is no slouch, but, it is certainly not an enthusiast’s phone. The cameras too are pretty normal with a 16-megapixel quad camera setup to the back. The best feature of this device is undoubtedly it’s back, with a beautiful leather finish on all three variants of the phone. The device is priced at Rs 17,990.

With a vanilla variant, there always comes a Pro. This time, Realme outdid itself with the Realme 7 Pro. The device comes with a Super AMOLED panel, the same but still quite capable Snapdragon 720G, 65W Super Dart charging, an in-display fingerprint sensor, all of which are massive upgrades over the previous Realme 6 Pro.

The cameras of Realme 7 Pro are a bit of an upgrade and a downgrade, with the addition of a better primary sensor, but, the removal of a telephoto sensor in favor of a depth sensor. The device is priced at Rs 19999 and it is again, one of the best options at that price point.

The Narzo 20 Pro features a similar display as the Realme 7, with the major differences being a downgrade in the cameras (from 64 to 48-megapixel quad-camera setup), support for 65W Super Dart charging instead of 30W Dart Charge, a different back design, and the Narzo branding.

The Narzo 20 Pro is priced at Rs 14999, for the 6+64 GB variant, which is quite confusing, considering the Realme 7 is priced exactly the same.
