The final month of 2025 promises to bring exciting new smartphone options for Indian consumers, with several major brands preparing to launch their latest devices. Following major global releases earlier in the year, including the iPhone 17 series and new flagships from Xiaomi, Redmi, and Oppo, December will see a fresh wave of mid-range and premium smartphones hitting the Indian market.
OnePlus 15R Set for December 17 Launch
OnePlus has confirmed the Indian debut of its OnePlus 15R on December 17, 2025. This device stands out as one of the first smartphones to incorporate Qualcomm's cutting-edge Snapdragon 8 Gen 5 chipset. The smartphone will be available through Amazon in two attractive color options: Charcoal Black and Minty Green.
The company has emphasized the device's robust durability credentials, featuring IP66, IP68, IP69, and IP69K ratings for superior protection against dust and water damage. Early promotional materials reveal a dual camera system arranged within a rectangular module, along with conveniently placed volume and power buttons on the right side. The handset will come pre-loaded with OxygenOS 16, built on the Android 16 platform.
Vivo X300 Series Arrives December 2
Vivo will introduce its premium X300 series to Indian consumers on December 2 at noon. The lineup includes both the Vivo X300 Pro and standard Vivo X300 models, which will be sold exclusively through Vivo's official online store. Both devices are powered by MediaTek's advanced 3 nm Dimensity 9500 chipset, complemented by the Pro Imaging VS1 chip and V3 Plus imaging chip for enhanced photography capabilities.
The software experience will be driven by OriginOS 6, while the Vivo X300 Pro specifically will feature a sophisticated triple camera system developed in collaboration with Zeiss. The camera setup comprises a 50-megapixel Sony LYT 828 primary lens with f/1.57 aperture, a 50-megapixel Samsung JN1 ultrawide camera, and a impressive 200-megapixel HPB APO telephoto unit.
Realme P4x 5G and Other Notable Launches
Realme joins the December launch frenzy with its P4x 5G scheduled for December 4. The device will be available on Flipkart and is powered by the MediaTek Dimensity 7400 Ultra 5G processor. One of its key features includes a smooth 144 Hz display, while battery performance takes center stage with a massive 7,000 mAh Titan Battery supporting 45 W wired fast charging.
The phone also incorporates advanced thermal management through a substantial 5,300 sq mm vapour chamber. Additional details about the device are expected to emerge closer to the official launch date.
Meanwhile, OnePlus plans to launch the Ace 6T in China during December, though the company hasn't announced a specific date yet. Industry experts believe this model will essentially be a rebranded version of the OnePlus 15R, utilizing the same Snapdragon 8 Gen 5 chipset. The device will be offered in black, green, and violet color variants, featuring a flat display with slim bezels and a square camera module housing two lenses.
Oppo has also teased the upcoming Reno 15C during its recent Reno 15 and Reno 15 Pro event. While complete specifications remain under wraps, early leaks suggest the phone might include a 6.59-inch display with 1.5K resolution and refresh rates up to 120 Hz. The device is expected to run on Qualcomm's Snapdragon 7 Gen 4 chipset, with camera capabilities potentially including a 50-megapixel Sony IMX 600 main sensor, an 8-megapixel ultrawide lens, and a 50-megapixel Samsung JN5 telephoto sensor.
This December launch lineup demonstrates the continued innovation and competition in the Indian smartphone market, offering consumers diverse options across different price segments and feature sets.
