1. ASUS 9Z (ASUS Zenfone 9)
Expected Price: ₹55,000
ASUS recently launched the ASUS Zenfone 9 in the global market, and it is now reportedly gearing up to launch the device in India, albeit with a changed name. The ASUS Zenfone 9 could launch in India as the ASUS 9Z. We can expect the ASUS 9Z to come to India sometime in September 2022.
The ASUS 9Z has a compact form factor owing to a 5.9-inch FHD+ AMOLED HDR10+ panel with a 120Hz refresh rate. Under the hood, the ASUS 9Z comes powered by a Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 processor, which is paired with 8GB/16GB RAM and 256GB onboard memory. It runs Android 12-based ZenUI 9 out of the box. The phone has a 50MP main camera with OIS, a 12MP ultrawide camera, and a 12MP selfie camera. The ASUS 9Z is powered by a 4,300mAh battery that supports 30W fast charging over the USB Type-C port.
The ASUS Zenfone 9 or the ASUS 9Z could be a good choice for those who want a compact high-end smartphone with a relatively stock-ish Android software experience.
2. Apple iPhone 14
Expected Price: ₹89,900 Onwards
Apple has confirmed that its next launch event is scheduled for September 7, 2022. This is when we can expect the company to unveil the iPhone 14 series, which would consist of at least three models: iPhone 14, iPhone 14 Pro, and iPhone 14 Pro Max. The iPhone 14 is expected to be the cheapest of the three, and it could continue to feature a dual-camera setup on the rear and Face ID security.
The iPhone 14 is expected to feature the same A15 Bionic processor which is present in the iPhone 13. The device could have 6GB RAM and at least 128GB of internal storage. It could also be available in 256GB and 512GB variants. The iPhone 14 will likely retain the much-dreaded display notch, and the overall form factor of the iPhone 14 is said to be more or less similar to the iPhone 13. We could see an improved ultrawide camera, newer software (iOS 16), and longer battery life.
3. Apple iPhone 14 Pro
Expected Price: ₹1,15,000 Onwards
The Apple iPhone 14 Pro is said to come with a 6.1-inch OLED display with an adaptive refresh rate and a punch-hole+pill-shaped cutout for the front camera and the Face ID system.

Furthermore, the iPhone 14 Pro Max will likely flaunt better cameras to set it apart. Reports have suggested that Apple might shrink the iPhone 14 Pro Max a little, but it will hopefully not impact its battery life too much due to a more power-efficient A16 Bionic processor.
