June brings a fresh crop of smartphones, each vying for attention with distinctive features and hardware improvements. Here is a closer look at what’s arriving this month and what sets each device apart.
Vivo T4 Ultra: Camera-Focused Performance
Vivo is gearing up to launch the T4 Ultra in India on June 11. Compared to last year’s T3 Ultra, this new model places a clear emphasis not only on raw performance, but also on advanced camera capabilities. The rear features a triple camera layout with a 50MP Sony IMX921 main camera, an 8MP ultrawide lens, and a 50MP periscope module that offers 3x optical zoom. This setup aims to satisfy users seeking both versatility and detail in their photos. The display uses OLED technology with quad-curved edges, offering a 1.5K resolution and a smooth 120Hz refresh rate. Inside, the Dimensity 9300 Plus chipset delivers powerful performance, with benchmark scores exceeding two million points on AnTuTu. Fast charging is another highlight: the T4 Ultra supports 90W charging, with Android 15 and Funtouch OS 15 running out of the box.
Poco F7: Performance Reimagined
Poco is set to introduce the F7 later in June, reportedly as a global version of the Redmi Turbo 4 Pro. With a 6.83-inch OLED LTPS display at 1.5K resolution and 120Hz refresh rate, the F7 is built for smooth interaction. The phone is among the first to offer the Snapdragon 8s Gen 4 chipset on the world stage, positioning it as a contender in upper mid-range performance. Its camera setup includes a 50MP primary sensor and 8MP secondary rear camera, paired with a 20MP selfie camera. Notably, the F7 is expected to arrive in two battery capacities—7,500mAh for India and 6,500mAh for international models—both offering 90W fast charging. The phone is rated for IP68/IP69 water and dust resistance and launches with Android 15.
OnePlus Nord CE 5: A New Mid-Range Challenger
OnePlus already kicked off the month with the flagship 13s, but attention soon shifts to the Nord CE 5. Expected to appear later this month, the Nord CE 5 features a 6.7-inch Full HD+ OLED display with a 120Hz refresh rate. Under the hood, it uses the MediaTek Dimensity 8350 chipset accompanied by 8GB of RAM and 256GB of storage. Photographers get a dual rear camera system consisting of a 50MP Sony LYT-600 or IMX882 main sensor and an 8MP Sony IMX355 ultrawide. The 16MP front camera rounds out the package. Battery life is another strength, thanks to a 7,100mAh cell supporting 80W charging, which should offer reliable all-day usage. The device is set to ship with Android 15.
Tecno Pova 7 Ultra 5G: Fresh Design and Gaming Focus
Tecno continues to expand its Pova lineup with the upcoming Pova 7 Ultra 5G, expected to arrive by the end of June. Design renders show a unique triangular camera module with an LED light strip along the edge, which gives the device a distinct visual flair. A 1.5K AMOLED display boasting a rapid 144Hz refresh rate makes the phone particularly appealing to gamers and screen enthusiasts. The device runs on a MediaTek Dimensity 8350 Ultimate chipset and relies on a large 6,000mAh battery, paired with 70W fast charging. With its support for gameplay up to 120 frames per second in games like PUBG, Tecno seems to be targeting users looking for an affordable high-refresh experience.
This line-up for June should suit a range of needs, from heavy gaming to photography and everything in-between. Each device introduces something notable, building on the momentum from the frenzy of launches in May. Seeing these brands push boundaries in hardware and design, even in the mid-tier segment, is promising for anyone seeking a new device this summer.
