How many phones launched in India in 2026?
190 smartphone models so far, up to 19 October 2026. We recommend only 50 of them.
Each model counts once, not each RAM and storage option. Every row links to its launch report. Counterpoint counted 64 models in January to March 2026 (report); our log has 61 for those months, so a few small 4G phones may be missing.
