List of SmartPhones Launching in Festive Season – Diwali 2016

We are expecting over 70 new smartphone launches during this coming festive season! From right away,  until after Deepawali it will be a grand time for Indian consumer planning to purchase a smartphone.

The smartphone market in India is already hugely competitive, but the Jio launch is bound to dramatically increase the overall size of the market, with millions of basic mobile phone users expected to upgrade to base level smartphones to make use of Jio’s stupenduous data and voice plans.

This is a comprehensive list of 71 upcoming smartphones that could be launched in the next 60 days. DO Note that the information given below is culled from many official and unofficial sources, and all of it is unlikely to be accurate. 

Also, this list has been in the making for a while now – so includes a few just released devices such as the Apple iPhone 7.

1. Nokia C1
