May 2026 was a bit of a quiet month in terms of smartphone launches. While some phones did come, the mid-range segment did not see the excitement that Indian buyers generally expect the most. The definition of “value-for-money” has also changed this year; Features that were earlier available in phones priced between ₹15,000 to ₹18,000 are now seen in the ₹25,000 range and above. While devices like the Realme 16T were offering larger batteries, the use of LCD screens emphasizes that the shortcomings of the budget segment are now becoming more clearly visible. As a result, June 2026 is going to be an important month as it is expected to bring a number of mid-range and upper mid-range smartphones that promise to deliver a better balance of battery life, camera capabilities, display quality, and performance. If you are in no rush to buy a new phone, then waiting for the June launch may prove to be a wise decision. Let’s take a look at the list of smartphones launching in June 2026—these are devices that are definitely worth keeping an eye on.
Smartphones to be launched in June 2026 –
Motorola Edge 70 Pro+
Motorola is all set to launch Motorola Edge 70 Pro+ in India on June 4. This device will be the most premium model of the Edge 70 series and will be available exclusively on Flipkart. The main feature of this smartphone is its camera setup. It will have a 50MP periscope lens that can support 3.5x optical zoom—a feature that makes it different from the standard Edge 70 Pro model. Along with this, the phone will have a 50MP Sony Li-Ion 710 primary camera, which will also have features like better night photography, frame stabilization and 50x AI Super Zoom Pro. To summarise, this phone is likely to appeal to users who are interested in distance photography, portraiture or travel photography. Motorola has also taken a slightly different approach in terms of design; The phone is expected to be available in Pantone-certified finishes like Chicory Coffee, Stormy Sea and Zinfandel. You’ll also find an additional button on the left, which can be set to shortcuts or AI features. Overall, this is going to be a camera-focused, premium mid-range phone coming in June.
