Several smartphone brands are gearing up to launch new devices this week including models from Poco, Samsung, Vivo and Oppo. The list includes the Poco X8 Pro 5G, Poco X8 Pro Max 5G, Samsung Galaxy M17e 5G, Vivo T5x 5G, and the foldable Oppo Find N6. Here’s a quick look at everything we know about these models so far.
The Poco X8 Pro lineup, which includes the Poco X8 Pro 5G and Poco X8 Pro Max 5G, is set to launch in India on March 17.
Ahead of the announcement, Xiaomi has already revealed several details through a dedicated microsite on Flipkart. According to the company, the devices are designed to deliver a lag-free experience and support gaming at up to 120 frames per second.
The Poco X8 Pro Max 5G is equipped with a large 9,000mAh battery, which the company claims can last more than three days with moderate usage. It is also said to deliver up to 30 hours of online video playback or remain on standby for as long as 18 days. The battery has also received TUV certification for six-year durability.
The Poco X8 Pro 5G also focuses on battery endurance with its 6,500mAh unit. Poco says this battery can provide more than two days of usage under moderate conditions, support up to 18 hours of online video streaming, or offer up to 12 days of standby time. This model has also received TUV certification, but for five-year battery durability.
Both smartphones support 100W wired fast charging with PPS technology, along with 27W reverse wired charging. In terms of charging performance, the Poco X8 Pro Max can reportedly provide a full day of battery life with just 10 minutes of charging, while the standard Poco X8 Pro is said to achieve similar usage with around 16 minutes of charging.
The Poco X8 Pro Max 5G is powered by the MediaTek Dimensity 9500s chipset, while the Poco X8 Pro 5G runs on the MediaTek Dimensity 8500 Ultra processor. Poco claims the two devices achieved AnTuTu scores of over 31,00,000 and 23,00,000 respectively.
For thermal management, the Poco X8 Pro 5G features a 5,300 sq mm vapour chamber combined with an 11,000 sq mm graphite layer. The Pro Max variant uses a slightly larger 5,800 sq mm heat dissipation area along with a graphite layer to help manage temperatures during intensive tasks.
Samsung Galaxy M17e 5G is also confirmed to launch in India on March 17. The phone will be available for purchase via Amazon, where a microsite has already revealed several of its specifications.
Samsung has confirmed that the handset will feature a 6.7-inch HD+ display with a 120Hz refresh rate. It will be powered by the MediaTek Dimensity 6300 5G chipset paired with an ARM Mali-G57 GPU.
The smartphone will ship with Android 16-based One UI 8. Samsung says the device will receive six generations of Android OS updates along with six years of security updates. It will also include features such as Now Bar, Live Notifications, Google Gemini AI integration, and Circle to Search.
In the camera department, the Galaxy M17e 5G will feature a 50-megapixel primary camera along with a 2-megapixel depth sensor on the back. For selfies and video calls, the device will include an 8-megapixel front-facing camera.
The phone will be backed by a 6,000mAh battery that is claimed to provide up to 26 hours of video playback. According to Amazon, this is said to be the longest battery life available in the segment under Rs. 14,000.
The Galaxy M17e 5G will measure 8.2mm in thickness and feature a Glass Fibre Reinforced Polymer (GFRP) rear panel. It will also carry an IP54 rating for dust and splash resistance.

Vivo has confirmed that the device will include a 7,200mAh battery, which the company says is the largest in its segment. In terms of durability, the Vivo T5x 5G will come with IP68 and IP69 ratings for dust and water resistance.
The device will run on the MediaTek Dimensity 7400 Turbo processor, which the company claims will provide “blazing-fast performance.” The chipset is also said to have achieved an AnTuTu score of more than one million points. The phone will ship with OriginOS 6 based on Android 16, which is expected to bring smoother animations and improved customisation options compared to Funtouch OS 15.
Previous reports suggest the smartphone may feature a 50-megapixel Sony IMX852 primary camera capable of recording 4K video, along with a 32-megapixel front-facing camera. Vivo has also hinted that the device could be priced under Rs 23,000.

According to the company, the screen is designed to deliver a crease-free experience using “Sky-Shaped Memory Glass” and the next-generation “Titanium Alloy Sky-Shaped Hinge”. Oppo also stated that the display will remain smooth “even after prolonged use”.
The smartphone has already been listed for pre-orders on Oppo’s online store in China, revealing storage variants and colour options. The device will be available in 12GB+256GB, 16GB+512GB, and 16GB+1TB configurations.
