The month of September 2022 gave us plenty of smartphone launches. Plus, the festive season in India began during the same month, so all brands and retailers were offering huge discounts and offers during their festive sales for this year. October 2022 won’t be as exciting because fewer smartphones will launch during the month.

Note: While most of the smartphones on the list will launch in India in October 2022, the future is always unpredictable, and smartphone brands could change their launch plans for various reasons. Therefore, we would suggest our readers take this list with a slight grain of salt.
