Top manufacturers set to flood the smartphone market within next few days

At least four key players are bringing out a slew of handsets over a span of five days

The month of April saw a slew of both budget and premium smartphone launches. Samsung added to its Galaxy A series with the mid-range A53 5G, while Oppo came out with its F21 Pro. Other significant launches included Realme GT2 Pro, Xiaomi 12 Pro, IQOO Z6 Pro, Redmi 10A, and Realme 9.
