List of smartphones launching in September 2025

Motorola Razr 60 Brilliant Collection

Release Date: September 1

The first phone that we will get to see in September is the Swarovski crystal-studded Razr 60 as it prepares to make its Indian debut a few days after global rollout. For the unversed, the Razr 60 Brilliant Collection is just the same as the regular Razr 60 but with a cosmetic upgrade, with a Pantone Ice Melt color and Swarovski crystals embellished on it. It will be available via Flipkart in India.

Realme 15T

Release Date: September 2

Well, Realme is ready to add another smartphone to its Realme 15 series. Successor to 14T, Realme 15T is packed with a Dimensity 6400 Max SoC, Android 15-powered Realme UI 6, and promises three years of OS upgrades. There’s a 7,000mAh battery pack under the hood flanked by fast wired charging, although it’s not known about the charging speed. 

On the optics front, we have a 50MP primary cam at the front and a 50MP selfie shooter. On the display, there’s a 6.57” AMOLED panel that boasts up to 4,000mAh battery, making it the brightest in terms of displays.

Tecno Pova Slim 5G

Release Date: September 4

Tecno has another offering for this month as well. The Tecno Pova Slim 5G has been confirmed to arrive on September 4th as the world’s slimmest 3D curved display phone. It could be rivaling the iPhone 17 Air, given its thickness is just 5.75mm, whereas the latter is 5.5mm in thickness. 

The phone is expected to feature a 6.78” OLED 144Hz panel, a powerful 5,200mAh battery, and a 50MP primary snapper that sits on the rear panel. The phone is using something called “Dynamic Mood Light,” which is an LED light that comes to life when signaling notifications, phone calls, or other alerts. 

The phone was earlier teased as the Spark Slim concept phone at the MWC held in February this year. This would be its first-ever debut in the Indian market, which makes it stand out.

Oppo F31 Series

Release Date: Early September 2025*

Well, Oppo is readying its next-gen F-series phone dubbed Oppo F31 series. There’s F31, F31 Pro, and F31 Pro+ in the works. The base is powered by Dimensity 6300, and as you go forward, there’s Dimensity 7300 Energy on the mid and Snapdragon Gen 3 SoC on the F31 Pro+ on the go.

All the models are powered by massive 7,00mAh batteries paired with 80W fast charging tech. There’s up to 12GB of RAM and 256GB of storage. The series is actually a successor to the F29 series, although there was no Pro+ in the series, and instead, we have a massive jump over the F27 Pro+.

Samsung Galaxy S25 FE

Release Date: September 4

Samsung is cooking up its affordable Samsung Galaxy S25 FE (Fan Edition) for September 2025. The phone packs an Exynos 2400 SoC under the hood and a 4,900mAh battery powering the same. We have a 45W wireless and a 15W wired charging on board as well. It is speculated to launch on September 4, although nothing has been made official so far. We have a triple 50MP shooter on-board arranged in an S25-style vertical stack with no camera bump.

We have a 6.7-inch 1080 × 2340 Dynamic AMOLED 2X panel, and in fact, S25 FE is said to have a brighter display, and we are up for it. The phone is said to arrive with 8GB and 128GB of storage, while maxing at 512GB.

Apple iPhone 17 Series

Release Date: September 9

I am quite sure that whenever you think about smartphones launching in September, you’ll think about a new iPhone in the market. Well, this year is no different. We have the iPhone 17 series launching this month, comprising one non-Pro and two Pro iPhone 17 variants. There’s also a fourth model — iPhone 17 Air that we will get to in a bit.

iPhone 17 series will debut at the awe-dropping event, and there are some sizable upgrades. The trio will get an all-powered A19 Bionic series SoC, where the base model gets A19, while the Pro variants will get A19 Pro, which should put the devices way ahead of their predecessor. There’s a 48MP telephoto shooter on the Pro with 3.5x optical zoom and up to 8x on the Pro Max. 

Interestingly, the Pro Max is expected to exceed the mark of 5,000mAh on the battery pack, which is an accomplishment, especially for Apple. For context, the base iPhone 17 uses a 3,600mAh battery pack paired with 25W wireless and 33W wired charging, and with a 120Hz refresh rate, the first for a base iPhone. 

When I say iPhone 17 series, it actually has four instead of five models. Apparently, the ‘Plus’ was scrapped to make way for the iPhone 17 Air. There’s also an iPhone 17e in the works, but it will be reserved for launch early next year.

Apple iPhone 17 Air

Release Date: September 9

I know, it should be listed under ‘iPhone 17 series’, right? But hey, Apple is doing something unique this year, and we wanted it to be a highlight. So as it stands, iPhone 17 Air will be launched on September 9 and will be the slimmest iPhone ever. To be honest, a bunch of rumors exist claiming iPhone 17 Air is this or that, and yet, we are waiting for something concrete, and seriously, we won’t have to wait much longer.

iPhone 17 Air is speculated to pack in a 2,900mAh battery, one of the first signs you would see on a slim phone standing at just 5.5mm, and that comes from tipster Majin Bu, compared to ~8.25mm on the iPhone 17 Pro. In any case, iPhone 17 Air will arrive either in an aluminum or titanium chassis and will sport a 6.7” display, a few millimeters down from iPhone 17 Pro Max’s 6.9”. The phone, in line with the Pro series, will get an Apple A19 Pro Bionic SoC under the hood, so yes, there won’t be any performance issues at least.

Lava Agni 4

Release Date: September 2025*

Believe it or not, Lava has been intensifying its launches recently. After Agni 3, the Indian smartphone maker is roping in Agni 4 for its debut in the country sometime this month. We have a Dimensity 8350 SoC under the hood paired with a 7,000mAh battery, a 6.78” FHD+ 120Hz display, and dual 50MP shooters at the back.

According to tipster Yogesh Brar, Agni 4 is likely to bring flat edges, unlike its predecessor. A UFS 4.0 storage system is on board for faster data transfer. Finally, the phone will be priced around INR 25,000/-, which goes in line with how Agni 3 was priced at INR 20,999/- for the base and INR 24,999/- for the top variant.

Conclusion

Well, we covered some of the most-awaited launches this year. I mean, we have been hearing about the iPhone 17 series for quite some time, and in fact, the iPhone 17 Air received more attention than the actual flagship series, and for good reasons. There’s an affordable Samsung Galaxy S25 (FE) as well, while a ton of other phones are making their debut.

Tecno is ready to unleash its MWC Spark Slim in India, one of the slimmest at 5.75mm, while there are some other minor launches in the pipeline. We set our hands on the list of smartphones launching in September 2025 so that you can make decisions whether to invest in a new phone or wait for yet another month to come by.
