Few smartphones which are already launched in China will be coming to India in next month. While we already know the specifications of these devices, there official pricing and availability will be announced on the launch day.

This year, there is no Galaxy S8 Edge since both the Galaxy S8 and S8 Plus will be coming edge display. Both the devices will be launched on March 29th and are rumored to go on sale on April 21st.

The Xiaomi Mi 6 is recently spotted in an alleged image with a wider and a bigger display than the 5.15-inch on last year's Xiaomi Mi 5. Though it comes with bezels on all the four sides, we can see them to be smaller in size.
