This won&#8217;t be a new company, but instead it&#8217;s actually Fire-Boltt expanding into the smartphone market.<\/p>\n<p>Fire-Boltt held 9.7% of the Indian smartwatch market in 2025, and now it wants to take on the big players in the smartphone field with a &#8216;cheap and reliable&#8217; formula. The devices will be sold under the Boltt brand (the Fire will remain exclusive to wearables).<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"inline-image\" width=\"1200\" height=\"509\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/1782202810_13_gsmarena_001.jpg\" alt=\" A new affordable smartphone brand is coming to India\"\/><\/p>\n<p>There won&#8217;t be just one smartphone, but two or three to begin with. All of them will be powered by Unisoc chips, and all of them will allegedly be priced under INR 20,000 ($211). The earliest we&#8217;re likely to see any of these unveiled is next month, apparently.<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s unclear what we should expect from these devices, but Fire-Boltt already has the logistics and distribution channels in place from its wearable business, so it should be able to launch the new brand without too much trouble. We&#8217;ll let you know when we hear more.<\/p>\n<p class=\"article-source\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.smartprix.com\/bytes\/exclusive-wearable-giant-fire-boltt-to-enter-the-indian-smartphone-market\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer nofollow\">Source<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"According to a new rumor, a new smartphone brand will be launched in India in the near future.&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":754643,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[16],"tags":[64,63,203,105],"class_list":["post-754642","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-mobile","tag-au","tag-australia","tag-mobile","tag-technology"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/754642","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=754642"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/754642\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/754643"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=754642"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=754642"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=754642"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
