Not very long ago the whole world was forced into a rather unfortunate lockdown and everything including sales of smartphones came to a grounding halt. This meant that most manufacturers even refrained from launching their new devices for a month or more. Luckily, this situation wasn’t forever, and the government brought in some relaxations starting in the month of May allowing smartphone manufacturers to begin the sale of their smartphones in the online and even offline channels.

A lot of manufacturers took this as an opportunity to launch their pending smartphones that were already delayed. This led to a busy month of May as most manufacturers who were waiting for the right time to launch the new smartphones finally had an opportunity. We saw new launches from Motorola, Infinix, Realme, Xiaomi, and even Apple this month. Here are the top smartphones launched in May’20.
