1. Infinix GT 50 Pro
The Infinix GT 50 Pro launch date in India is confirmed for October 27, 2026. It is a gaming phone through and through, with a cyber mecha-inspired design and Infinix’s HydroFlow Liquid Cooling system.
Under the hood, it runs on the Dimensity 8400 Ultimate chipset, paired with up to 12 GB of LPDDR5X RAM (plus 12 GB of extended RAM) and up to 512 GB of UFS 4.1 storage. The phone will have a 6.78-inch 1.5K LTPS AMOLED display with a 144 Hz refresh rate and a peak brightness of 4,500 nits. It will be protected by Gorilla Glass 7i.
The camera setup is modest, with a 50 MP main sensor and an 8 MP ultrawide on the back, plus a 13 MP selfie camera. The phone packs a 6,500mAh battery with 45W wired and 30W wireless charging.
It will run XOS 16 based on Android 16 and come in Black Abyss, Red Blaze and Silver Glacier colours. The phone will also come with free GT 50 Pro gaming ecosystem right in the box, which includes GT NX Station, GT NX Controller, GT Cooling Fan Cum Charger and GT 50 Pro Magsafe Charger.
Infinix has also teamed up with Dolby for Dolby Atmos audio and with Honor of Kings, whose KCS India Finale it sponsored. The company has not announced the India price yet.

2. Huawei Enjoy 100 Series
The Huawei Enjoy 100 series launch date in China is set for October 28, 2026, at 4:30 PM CST (or 2:00 PM IST), at Huawei’s Double Eleven conference. The lineup includes the Enjoy 100, Enjoy 100 Pro and Enjoy 100 Pro Max.
Huawei has not revealed specs, but its store listings show the storage options and colours. The standard Enjoy 100 comes in 128 GB and 256 GB variants in Orange, White and Black.
The Enjoy 100 Pro goes up to 512 GB and comes in Blue, Purple, White and Black. The Pro Max swaps Purple for Gold.
On the design front, the Pro Max gets a circular camera island similar to Huawei’s flagships, while the Pro has a square camera module. The base model is the budget pick, with an old-school teardrop notch on the front.
Pre-orders are open in China with a deposit of 100 Chinese yuan (~Rs 1,500), which unlocks perks worth up to 869 Chinese yuan (~Rs 12,000). These include screen and water damage protection, a 2-year official warranty and up to six months of interest-free EMIs.

3. iQOO Neo 12
The iQOO Neo 12 launch date in China is October 28, 2026, at 7:00 PM CST (or 4:30 PM IST), with sales reportedly starting right after the event.
The big talking point is the built-in active cooling fan inside the camera deco, making it the first Neo-branded iQOO phone with one. The phone also gets airflow vents on the left side of its aluminium mid-frame.
It runs on the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 chipset alongside iQOO’s Q3 gaming chip. The display is a 2K, 185 Hz OLED with up to 2,200 nits of peak brightness and 5,000 Hz instant touch sampling. The battery is a massive 9,000mAh unit with 100W wired charging, up from 7,500mAh on the Neo 11.
It comes in Shadow Black, Fierce Edge and Frost Blade Blue. iQOO has not shared the price, but the iQOO Neo 11 launched at 2,599 Chinese yuan (~Rs 37,000), so we can expect it to be pricier due to the RAM crisis.
Since iQOO has reportedly paused its Neo series in India for 2026, an India launch looks unlikely for now.

4. Huawei Pura 90 Plus
The Huawei Pura 90 Plus China launch date is also set for October 28, 2026, and pre-orders are already live. It joins the Huawei Pura 90, Pura 90 Pro and Pura 90 Pro Max, which launched in April 2026.
It keeps the series’ signature inverted triangle camera module, but it is the only phone in the family with a curved frame and rounded back panel, in the style of the Huawei Pura 80 Pro.
It comes in Sunset Purple, Obsidian Black, Snowy White and Dawn Gold, with up to 12 GB of RAM and 1 TB of storage.
Huawei has not confirmed specs. Leaks point to a 6.8-inch 1.5K display, the Kirin 9020 chipset and a 50 MP 1-inch main camera with variable aperture, along with a 48 MP macro telephoto and a 40 MP ultrawide. The price is expected to land between the Pura 90 and the Pura 90 Pro.

5. Samsung W27
Samsung has confirmed that a new book-style foldable will launch in China on October 29, 2026. Teasers show a gold frame, and leaker Ice Universe has identified it as the Samsung W27, Samsung’s China-exclusive luxury foldable.
Samsung W27 leaks suggest that it is essentially a high-end take on the Galaxy Z Fold 8 Ultra. That means the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 for Galaxy, a 5,000mAh battery with 45W charging and a 200 MP main camera alongside 50 MP and 10 MP lenses.
Samsung’s W series usually adds extras like more RAM and China-specific AI features, so expect something similar here. Samsung has not shared a price yet, and the phone is not expected to launch outside China.
6. Vivo Y600
The Vivo Y600 closes out the week with a China launch on October 30, 2026. The highlight of this phone is a 10,000mAh Blue Ocean battery. Vivo is already promoting the Guinness World Record it set for the longest smartphone product testing livestream.
Vivo’s posters show a flat frame, a square camera module with a 50 MP main sensor, and White and Blue colour options.
Leaks point to a 6.83-inch display and what is believed to be the Dimensity 7300e chipset. It is also tipped to feature 6 GB and 8 GB RAM options with up to 256 GB of storage, an 8 MP selfie camera, 44W charging and Android 16.
It appears related to the Vivo S2 FE and the Vivo V80 Lite 5G, which share the chipset and battery. The China model should not be confused with the upcoming global Vivo Y600 5G, which is a separate phone. Vivo has not confirmed the full specs or pricing and we are not sure if it will make it to India.
The week of October 26 to November 1, 2026, is a big one for China, with Huawei, iQOO, Samsung and Vivo all launching phones. Meanwhile, Infinix flies the flag for India with the GT 50 Pro.
We’ll share official pricing and availability details when the launch events begin. Stay tuned for more updates on all these upcoming phones in October 2026.
