Google Pixel 6a
Google is likely to refresh its Pixel A lineup in India this month with the affordable Pixel 6a. The Pixel 6a is the successor to the Pixel 5s that was not announced in India. Google had unveiled the Pixel 4a in India in 2020. According to a leak by tipster Yogesh Brar, the Pixel 6a will be launched in India by the end of Q1. Another leak by tipster Max Jambor, however, suggests that Google is likely to launch Pixel 6a in India in May.
OnePlus 10 Pro
OnePlus 10 Pro 5G was originally unveiled in China in January 2022 and the device will be launched in India this month.

It will also be unveiled in Europe and North America.
Apple iPhone SE 3
There has been much anticipation about the upcoming 5G-enabled iPhone SE 3 that is expected to launch in India this month. The device is likely to sport the same design as iPhone SE 2020 but will feature a new chipset. According to analyst John Donovan, the upcoming iPhone SE 3 may cost $300 that making it much cheaper than the base variant of the Apple iPhone 12 in the US at least. However, the India price of the iPhone SE 3 will be higher than $300 as iPhone models cost higher in the country due to the applicable taxes and Apple's pricing decisions.
Oppo Find X5 lineup
Oppo's flagship Find X5 series that was just showcased at MWC 2022 in Barcelona may be launched in India this month. The bigger Oppo Find X5 Pro will house the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 while the Oppo Find X5 will feature the Qualcomm Snapdragon 888 chip. According to some leaks, the device may also arrive with a MediaTek Dimensity 9000 chipset in some regions.
