Some weeks the phone calendar is wall-to-wall flagships. This isn’t one of them, and that’s exactly what makes it interesting. With no Samsung Galaxy Z foldables or Apple hardware on the docket, the spotlight shifts to the brands that usually get drowned out: a genuinely ambitious Vivo foldable, an Honor phone built around a battery that borders on absurd, and a pair of budget 5G launches in India that are punching well above their price tag.
So here’s the full rundown of upcoming phones launching between June 22 and June 28, what each one is actually bringing to the table, and which of them is worth setting a reminder for.
The headliner is easy to call. The Vivo X Fold 6 is arguably the most-anticipated flagship upcoming phone of this week, and the spec sheet backs up the hype rather than papering over it. More on that below, but first, the quick reference.
Upcoming Phones Launching June 22–28: Quick Reference
| Phone | Launch Date | Market |
|---|---|---|
| Ai+ Nova 2 Pro 5G & Nova 2 Neo 5G | June 22, 2026 (12:00 PM IST) | India |
| Honor X80 Pro Max | June 22, 2026 (4:30 PM IST) | China |
| Infinix Note 60 Pro Pininfarina Limited Edition | June 24, 2026 (12:00 PM IST) | India |
| Vivo X Fold 6 | June 26, 2026 (4:30 PM IST) | China |
Ai+ Nova 2 Pro and Nova 2 Neo 5G: Budget 5G, June 22 (India)
Ai+ kicks the week off at noon IST on June 22 with two additions to its fast-growing Nova 2 line, both landing on Flipkart. The pitch splits cleanly: the Nova 2 Neo 5G is the affordable workhorse, Ai+ leans on “sharp cameras, big battery and Gen Z swagger,” while the Nova 2 Pro 5G aims higher with “flagship power, immersive display and pro-level features.”
The chips tell the real story. The Neo runs the MediaTek Dimensity 6300, a sensible entry-level 5G part. The Pro steps up to the Dimensity 7100, and that choice is more interesting than it looks. MediaTek launched the 7100 back in January, but with memory prices climbing through the year, most brands quietly skipped it in favor of the cheaper Dimensity 6300/6400 or the pricier 7300/7400. Ai+ is among the first in India to actually ship it, which gives the Pro a small spec-sheet edge over rivals stuck at either end of that gap.
Expect the Pro to carry a roughly 6.9-inch Full HD+ screen and rear LED notification lighting, with pricing rumored around ₹12,000–₹15,000. Both phones run NxtQuantum OS on Android 16. For a brand barely a year into the Indian market under ex-Realme boss Madhav Sheth, this is an aggressive, accessibility-first cadence, and a reminder that the sub-₹15,000 segment is where the most competitive specs-per-rupee fights are happening right now.
Honor X80 Pro Max: The 11,000mAh Battery Monster, June 22 (China)
If one phone this week is built to make a headline, it’s this one. The Honor X80 Pro Max goes official in China on June 22 at 7:00 PM CST (4:30 PM IST), and it’s the first “Pro Max” model in Honor’s mid-range X series, a sign the brand wants this tier taken seriously.
The two numbers everyone’s quoting are the battery and the display, and it’s worth keeping them straight. The battery is a colossal 11,000mAh silicon-carbon cell, the largest Honor has ever fitted, with 90W wired charging and 27W reverse wired charging. To put that in perspective, it’s roughly double what most 2026 flagships carry; for context, the iPhone 17 Pro Max sits near 4,823mAh. This is genuinely multi-day endurance territory in a mainstream phone.
The display is the other record. The X80 Pro Max is confirmed as the industry’s first phone with peak brightness above 10,000 nits, a 6.8-inch 1.5K OLED at 120Hz with bezels trimmed to 1.3mm. (Your earlier note conflated the two: the 11,000 is the battery in mAh, the 10,000 is the screen in nits.)
Underneath sits Qualcomm’s brand-new Snapdragon 6 Gen 5, the X80 Pro Max is among the first phones to use it, running MagicOS 10 on Android 16, with a 50MP OIS rear camera and IP66/IP68/IP69/IP69K durability. The neat trick: despite that monster cell, Honor keeps the body to about 8.08mm thick and 203g. One caveat for non-Chinese readers: this is a China-first launch, with chatter that a global variant could arrive later as the Honor X9e.
Infinix Note 60 Pro Pininfarina Limited Edition: June 24 (India)
Slotting in mid-week, the Infinix Note 60 Pro 5G Pininfarina Limited Edition lands in India on June 24 at 12:00 PM IST, Flipkart-exclusive. Set your expectations correctly here: this is a design exercise, not a new phone. Hardware is identical to the standard Note 60 Pro that reached India in April, same 6.78-inch AMOLED at 144Hz and 4,500 nits, same Snapdragon 7s Gen 4, 12GB RAM, 256GB storage, and 50MP OIS main camera.
What you’re paying extra for is the Pininfarina collaboration, the Italian design house behind some of the most recognizable sports cars on the road. The Limited Edition arrives in a single Torino Black finish with a carbon-fiber back wrapped in a 360-degree aerospace-grade aluminum frame, plus a supercar-themed retail box with Kevlar-pattern accessories. Infinix hasn’t confirmed pricing, but with the regular model at roughly ₹31,999–₹34,999, this one will sit higher. Expect a real premium for the look. If the standard Note 60 Pro already won you over and you just want it to stand out from every other black slab on the train, this is the version to watch. Given the limited run, the first batch likely won’t hang around.
Vivo X Fold 6: The Most-Anticipated Flagship Upcoming Phone of This Week, June 26 (China)
This is the one. The Vivo X Fold 6 unveils in China on June 26 at 7:00 PM CST (4:30 PM IST), alongside Vivo’s TWS 5 Pro earbuds, and it’s shaping up to be Vivo’s most ambitious foldable yet.
Start with the cameras, because Vivo is openly calling this a “foldable mini DSLR,” and for once the hardware earns the swagger. There’s a 200MP Samsung HPB primary sensor (1/1.4-inch, f/1.68) and a Sony LYT-602 periscope telephoto that’s the first foldable camera to use a Zeiss APO super-periscope lens, both with CIPA 4.5-rated stabilization. It’s also the first foldable to support Vivo’s Zeiss 200mm Teleconverter G2, alongside the 2.35x teleconverter that debuted on the X200 Ultra. Vivo’s own V3+ imaging chip handles processing.
The chip choice is the quiet headline, though. Vivo has dropped Qualcomm entirely here for a custom MediaTek Dimensity 9500 Super Edition, a silicon variant the two companies reportedly spent close to two years co-developing specifically for large-screen foldables. Vivo claims a 111% jump in peak AI processing and a 56% cut in power draw versus the standard 9500, which matters more on a foldable than on a slab given how hard people push multitasking on these screens.
On the display, the X Fold 6 is the first foldable to use Samsung’s M14 luminescent material on both panels: an 8.02-inch 2K inner screen rated up to 5,000 nits, paired with a roughly 6.5-inch cover display. Powering it is a 6,900mAh battery (reported, not yet officially confirmed), which would dwarf the Galaxy Z Fold 7’s 4,400mAh cell and rank among the largest in any foldable. Round it out with OriginOS 6 Fold, IP58/IP59 ratings, and a 2,200mm² vapor chamber.
Two honest caveats. First, this is a China launch. The X Fold series goes home-market first, so a global release (if it comes) lands later; an India price near ₹1,59,999 has circulated but Vivo hasn’t confirmed anything. Second, extraordinary specs in controlled demos don’t always translate to extraordinary everyday photos. The “foldable mini DSLR” claim only gets settled once reviewers put a retail unit through real use after June 26.
Other Notes on This Week’s Launches
A few things worth keeping in mind as you scan the list:
- No major global flagships this week. Samsung’s Galaxy Z series and Apple’s lineup aren’t part of this window. Broader June 2026 releases, like Samsung’s Galaxy A/M-series variants, have either already happened or are slated for late June without firm dates inside June 22–28.
- Region matters. Two of this week’s headliners (Honor and Vivo) are China launches. If you’re shopping in India or elsewhere globally, availability will likely come later, often with different pricing and occasionally different specs.
- Specs marked “reported” aren’t final. The Vivo X Fold 6’s 6,900mAh battery and cover-display size, plus Ai+ and Infinix pricing, are based on leaks and microsite teasers until each brand confirms on stage.
