This week, we witnessed a series of exciting, revolutionary smartphone unveilings. Fortunately, this excitement will remain in the third week of May. From OnePlus to Infinix to Xiaomi, every brand is geared up to make a lasting impression in the upcoming days with their thrilling new phones. Unfortunately, these launches are all out of India-bound. But we never know if these handsets will make their way to India. So, what are we waiting for? Let’s check them out.
OnePlus Ace 5 Racing Edition and Ace 5 Ultra
OnePlus will expand its existing Ace 5 series with two new powerful additions, Racing Edition and Ultra, in China next week. The Ace 5 Racing Edition is confirmed to draw performance from the MediaTek Dimensity 9400e processor, which will debut in India with the Realme GT 7 on 27 May (article). Meanwhile, a Geekbench listing discovered weeks ago has revealed that the Ace 5 Ultra will rely on the MediaTek Dimensity 9400+, which also powers phones like the OPPO Find X8s and the Vivo X200s.
Both smartphones will support a 120Hz refresh rate. While the Racing Edition will feature a 6.77-inch OLED display with a 1080p resolution, the Ace 5 Ultra will have a 6.83-inch OLED panel with 1.5K resolution.
They will both run on a 7,000mAh battery, but the charging speeds will differ: 80W for the Racing Edition and 120W for the Ultra.
The camera arrangement is rumoured to be the same on both phones: 50-megapixel dual cameras with a 16-megapixel front snapper.

Infinix will debut the successor to its highly popular gaming phone, the GT 20 Pro, in Malaysia on 21 May. As per the marketing materials, the GT 30 Pro will feature two capacitive shoulder triggers.

It will sport a dynamic lighting system with more than 20 customisable lighting effects.
The Infinix GT 30 Pro is expected to depend on the MediaTek Dimensity 8350 processor for performance, paired with up to 12GB of RAM.
