September is traditionally dominated by Apple's iPhone event, but this year, Android brands are also gearing up to release their flagship devices within the same month.
With over 20 phones expected to launch, we've narrowed down the five most exciting releases to keep an eye on.
Apple's iPhone 18 Pro and iPhone Ultra
Apple's biggest event of the year is set for September 9, and it's expected to be a game-changer.
The iPhone 18 Pro and Pro Max will debut with the new A20 Pro chip, built on TSMC's 2nm process, and Apple's own C2 modem.
Camera upgrades may include a variable-aperture main sensor, a brighter telephoto, and a new 12MP selfie camera.
The Pro models could also feature a smaller Dynamic Island and a larger battery in the Pro Max variant.
However, the highlight is Apple's entry into the foldable market with the rumored iPhone Ultra.
It is expected to feature a 7.3-inch inner screen and a 5.3-inch cover screen, with Touch ID integrated into the power button.
Oppo Find X10 Series: Triple 200MP Cameras
Oppo is set to launch the Find X10 series in China this month, with a strong focus on camera capabilities.
The Pro Max model is confirmed to feature three 200MP sensors, while the standard and Pro models may have two 200MP sensors.
The lineup aims for realistic and natural image rendering rather than artificial perfection.
The Find X9 Pro is likely to be powered by the Dimensity 9600 chip and a 8000mAh battery, while the Pro Max could feature a more powerful Dimensity 9600 Pro and a larger 8500mAh battery.
Vivo is also entering the fray with its X500 series, which will compete directly with Oppo's Find X10.
The X500 Pro Max is confirmed to have a 200MP Zeiss APO super telephoto camera with 4x in-sensor zoom, while the X500 Pro will bring a 64MP Zeiss APO telephoto with an 85mm focal length.
The series reportedly supports 4K recording at up to 240 fps and 4K HDR at 120 fps.
