Of all the leaked devices, ASUS ZenFone 8 Flip, LG Stylo 7, Motorola Moto g (100), OPPO Reno 5 A, OPPO Reno 5 Pro + 5G Bosch, Realme 8 Pro, Samsung Galaxy A52 4G, Samsung Galaxy A72 4G , Samsung Galaxy A82 5G and ZTE Z6650S have not yet been released.
The Motorola Moto g (100) is expected to be the global variant of the Motorola Edge S and the OPPO Reno 5 Pro + 5G Bosch appears to be a special model of the existing OPPO Reno 5 Pro + 5G. Vivo X60 5G, on the other hand, is probably the global variant of Vivo X60 that was launched in China, and is scheduled to be launched outside China on March 22. Realme 8 Pro is expected to launch soon in India, according to Madhav Sheth, CEO of Realme India.
The Samsung Galaxy A52 4G and A72 4G are likely to be announced next week on Samsung’s second Unpacked 2021, alongside the Galaxy A52 5G and Galaxy A72 5G. Meanwhile, it is rumored that Samsung’s Galaxy A82 5G is its second phone with a quantum random number generation chip, according to ETNews.
The Google leak does not reveal much more about these devices. But we expect the next few months to be busy with smartphone launches, so we expect many (if not all) of them to hit the market relatively soon.
