Based on a review by Technology Gyan (accessed 2026-07-24).
Based on this review alone: worth considering for large 6.83-inch 1.5k 120hz flat oled display, but expected high price (₹35,000-₹40,000) given market conditions is a real trade-off.
The reviewer expresses disappointment with the current state of the smartphone market, noting that fewer phones are launching, and many of those are unexciting or overpriced. However, they hold higher expectations for August, suggesting that the listed upcoming phones include some good options worth considering, despite the trend of higher prices for features previously found in budget segments.
This video reviews upcoming smartphones expected to launch in August 2026, discussing leaked specifications, expected prices, and potential launch dates for several models from brands like Redmi, Samsung, iQOO, Motorola, POCO, OnePlus, Infinix, Boltt, Vivo, Xiaomi, OPPO, and Google Pixel. The reviewer aims to help viewers decide which new phones might be worth considering.
The Redmi Note 17 Pro presents a promising set of specifications, yet its expected high price point raises significant concerns. While it boasts an impressive 1.5K 120Hz OLED display and a massive 9000mAh battery with 67W charging, the current market situation makes its rumored ₹35,000 to ₹40,000 price less appealing. The reviewer is not expecting a good price, which could undermine its value. If Xiaomi manages to offer it at a more competitive price, it could attract many users; otherwise, its value proposition might be compromised. Consumers looking for large displays and extensive battery capacity might find this appealing if the price is right, but those sensitive to value might want to consider alternatives.
