1. Vivo X300e
Vivo is officially adding a fifth member to its "X300" lineup in China with the Vivo X300e, joining the Vivo X300, Vivo X300s, Vivo X300 Pro, and Vivo X300 Ultra.
According to its official microsite on Vivo's China website, the Vivo X300e launch and sale dates are set for July 27, 2026, at 9:00 AM CST (or 6:30 PM IST). It is already up for pre-order via Vivo Shopcat and JD Stores.
The Vivo X300e's design is completely different from the rest of the lineup, featuring a squircle camera module reminiscent of Oppo's Reno series. It houses a triple rear camera setup backed by ZEISS imaging, paired with what appears to be a matte aluminium frame.
The phone will be available in black, white, and orange colourways, though official names for these shades haven't been revealed yet.
While Vivo hasn't confirmed the Vivo X300e specifications, this marks the first time the brand has used the "e" suffix in its premium X series. So, it could end up being the most affordable model in the lineup.
Rumoured specs include a 6.59-inch 1.5K OLED display, a Snapdragon 8 Gen 5 chipset, a 50 MP main camera with a 50 MP periscope telephoto and an 8 MP ultra-wide lens. The phone could also pack a 7,100mAh battery with 90W fast charging.

2. OnePlus N6x
Rounding off the week, OnePlus has confirmed the OnePlus N6x launch date in India for July 31, 2026, at 12:00 PM IST.
The OnePlus N6x battery capacity is confirmed to be 7,000mAh, rated for up to 2.5 days of usage per charge based on the brand's internal lab tests.
Design-wise, the OnePlus N6x sports a vertical pill-shaped dual-camera module with an LED flash, set within a boxy frame with flat sides, closely resembling last year's OnePlus Nord CE 5. It'll be available in Burgundy Red and Ice Blue colourways.
The phone arrives just weeks after the OnePlus N6 launched in India at Rs 22,999. Moreover, going by the "x" naming convention, we expect the N6x to sit at a friendlier price point, likely under Rs 20,000.
With two launches on the calendar this week, we expect more specifics, particularly around the OnePlus N6x's chipset and full spec sheet, to emerge as the dates get closer. Stay tuned for further updates.
