The year 2025 is just a few days away and the tech world is already ready with some big ticket launches for the year. You’ve got the Consumer Electronics Show (CES) kicking things off for the year, but there are a lot more headlines making launches that are going to be presented from brands like OnePlus, Samsung and Xiaomi over the next four weeks. Here’s a quick round-up of the big phone launches that people can expect in January 2025.

Big Phone Launches In January 2025

OnePlus 13

OnePlus will be bringing its new flagship phones to the Indian market in January. The OnePlus 13 and 13R launch in India is confirmed for January 7 which is just a week away. OnePlus has already unveiled the phone in China, so it is not like we don’t know anything about it, in fact, we know quite a bit about the new model from the company. It will be coming with the OxygenOS 15 version in the Indian market and you will get it in multiple colourways.

The OnePlus 13 now looks less-curvier thanks to the flat frame. The camera module now sits away from the edge along with a metal strip where you will see the new H logo for the Hasselblad branding. The company has upgraded the display to an X2 OLED panel with adaptive refresh rate and the new ultrasonic fingerprint sensor. The phone also gets IP69 rating which makes it safer in front of the water, even when the pressure is high. It is powered by the Snapdragon 8 Elite chipset with up to 24GB RAM and 1TB storage.

Xiaomi Pad 7 And Redmi 14C

Redmi 14C and Xiaomi Pad 7 will be the first set of products from the company in 2025. The new affordable 5G phone is tipped to support dual-SIM 5G networks and expected to come with a 50MP rear camera. Xiaomi recently launched the Redmi A4, and this sounds like another budget 5G phone in its lineup for the buyers.

Xiaomi will also bring the Pad 7 tablet to the Indian market next month, giving buyers more Android tablet options. The product is already available in China, and is likely to be the same model for the Indian market as well. The device is expected to look similar to the Pad 6 series that was launched in 2024.

Samsung Galaxy S25 Series

Samsung will also have a big say in the flagship battle with the 2025 Galaxy S25 series launch. The January 2025 edition of Galaxy Unpacked will have some important products coming to the market. The company is facing a tough fight in the Ai race and the premium Galaxy S25 and the S25 Ultra models will be spearheading the charge.

Poco X7 Series

Poco is bringing its power-packed X-series on January 9, which has been officially confirmed by the brand. The Poco X7 series will have people excited, mostly because of their focus on performance for value and the success of the X6 series tells you everything about the lineup from the brand. We could see the X7 and the X7 Pro models coming to the market.
