The first week of June has been anything but quiet for the gadget-obsessed. From sleek foldable laptops to budget 5G phones and gaming monsters, brands came out swinging with big reveals that left tech enthusiasts buzzing.
There’s a little something for everyone—power users, gamers, and the price-conscious alike. Whether it was OnePlus flexing its premium muscles or TCL giving TV nerds something to drool over, June kicked off strong.
OnePlus 13s Is Here, and It Means Business
OnePlus took the wraps off the 13s on June 5, and let’s just say—this one’s gunning for the top shelf. It’s compact, yes, but no slouch.
At 6.32 inches, the AMOLED screen isn’t massive, but it hits the sweet spot for users who don’t want a pocket-busting device. Under the hood? A Snapdragon 8 Elite chip, which sounds as powerful as it is.
OnePlus is leaning into performance and efficiency this time, with the latest OxygenOS riding shotgun. It’s built for speed and endurance—kind of like a marathon runner with a sprinter’s energy. This might be the most travel-friendly powerhouse from the brand so far.
And it’s not just about performance. There’s an emphasis on battery life, multitasking, and gaming. Basically, a jack-of-all-trades that doesn’t fumble any of them.
Realme Pushes 5G Further Into Budget Territory
Realme’s C-series has always been wallet-friendly. But the C73 5G, launched on June 2, takes things a step further. It’s bringing fast connectivity to people who used to think 5G was out of their league.
The screen measures 6.67 inches—pretty generous for the price. It’s not OLED, but the 120Hz refresh rate gives smoother scrolling, which counts for a lot.
The MediaTek Dimensity 6300 might not be a headline-grabber, but it does the job. Backed by 4GB RAM and another 8GB of dynamic expansion, it’s not going to choke up on basic tasks.
Battery life? Realme’s played it smart, giving users long hours without clinging to a charger.
Here’s what you’re looking at:
-
5G support at an affordable price
-
6.67″ HD+ IPS LCD with 120Hz refresh rate
-
MediaTek Dimensity 6300 chip
-
Expandable memory and decent battery life
Honestly, it’s tough to find a better bang-for-your-buck combo right now in India.
Huawei Unfolds Its Future With the MateBook Fold
Huawei’s MateBook Fold, unveiled in China around June 6, may not have a launch date in India yet—but it’s still creating ripples.
This isn’t a gimmicky fold. Huawei is targeting folks who want a productivity boost without lugging around two devices. When opened, it morphs from laptop to nearly tablet-size canvas, ready for multitasking, media, or meetings.
That said, there’s skepticism. Foldables haven’t exactly won over the masses yet, thanks to durability concerns and hefty prices. Huawei’s betting big that’s about to change.
For now, Chinese buyers are the guinea pigs, but if the response is good, don’t be surprised if it starts popping up elsewhere.
Infinix GT 30 Pro Aims Straight at Gamers
Gaming phones are usually chunky, flashy, and, well, expensive. Infinix is changing that story with the GT 30 Pro 5G.
The expected launch date was around June 3, and it looks like a cyberpunk gadget from the future. With RGB lighting and shoulder triggers, it almost dares you to play Call of Duty on full blast.
More importantly, it doesn’t skimp on internals. A Dimensity 8350 Ultra chip and a 144Hz AMOLED screen bring smooth visuals and snappy response times.
It’s rare to see a device that looks fun and still feels functional, but Infinix has managed to thread that needle.
Just one sentence here to breathe.
If the price hits the mark, this might be the sleeper hit of mid-2024 for mobile gamers.
Poco F7 Rumors Heat Up Ahead of Launch
Poco’s next big play, the F7, hasn’t launched yet, but leaks and whispers are getting louder. It’s expected to arrive later this month, possibly under ₹35,000.
Tech insiders are hinting it’s a rebranded version of the Redmi Turbo 4 Pro. So you can expect a Snapdragon 8s Gen 4 chip and a 6.83-inch OLED display with 1.5K resolution.
Here’s a quick look at what it may offer if rumors hold up:
| Feature | Poco F7 (Expected) |
|---|---|
| Display | 6.83″ LTPS OLED, 1.5K |
| Processor | Snapdragon 8s Gen 4 |
| Launch Price (Est.) | ₹30,000 – ₹35,000 |
| India Launch | June (Expected) |
If all this lands in the F7, Xiaomi’s sub-brand might be gearing up for another major sales spike.
OnePlus Nord CE 5 Spotted in the Wild
It hasn’t officially dropped yet, but the OnePlus Nord CE 5 just got BIS certification—translation: it’s coming to India soon.
This one’s got a 6.78-inch Full HD+ OLED panel and a refresh rate of 120Hz. Pretty slick for what’s likely a mid-range phone.
Battery junkies, rejoice: it’s rumored to pack a 7,100mAh unit with 80W fast charging. Yes, 7,100. You won’t be hunting for sockets every few hours.
OnePlus may end up stealing some attention from competitors in the sub-₹25K space with this one.
TCL Flexes Display Muscles with Mini-LED TVs
Phones weren’t the only stars this week. TCL entered the spotlight too, but with something bigger—literally.
They rolled out new premium mini-LED televisions, hoping to make LED tech cool again. These aren’t your average living room sets.
With improved brightness and deeper contrast, they promise better visuals even in sunlit rooms. TCL’s betting people are finally ready to upgrade from budget panels without going OLED.
They’ve kept pricing under wraps for now, but if previous TCL launches are any clue, they’ll try to undercut the premium big boys without looking cheap.
