Mid-2026 has brought a rare moment for smartphone buyers: several newly launched models are already selling at lower prices. That shift is changing the buying calculation, because more capable devices are now available without paying launch-day money.
The cuts are not limited to the budget segment. Price drops are appearing across entry-level, mid-range, and even flagship models, with some devices falling by millions of rupiah and becoming far more compelling than before.
Budget models now look more practical
At the Rp1 million range, Nubia A76 5G stands out as one of the most accessible options. It features a 6.75-inch IPS LCD display with a 90Hz refresh rate, Unisoc T765 5G chipset, 8GB RAM, 128GB storage, a 50MP main camera, an 8MP front camera, and a 5,000mAh battery with 22.5W fast charging.
The inclusion of 5G in a low-cost phone is a clear advantage. The large RAM and long battery life also make it suitable for students and everyday users.
Big batteries are driving buyer interest
Realme C100 has seen a notable price cut, dropping from around Rp3.8 million to around Rp2 million. The model comes with a 6.8-inch IPS LCD panel, 120Hz refresh rate, MediaTek Helio G92 Max, 8GB RAM, 256GB storage, a 50MP main camera, and an 8,000mAh battery with 45W fast charging and reverse charging.
The large battery capacity is its strongest appeal. As smartphones are used more heavily for entertainment and work, long endurance is becoming one of the most valued features.
The mid-range battle is getting tighter
| Model | New Price | Notable Highlights |
|---|---|---|
| Redmi Note 14 Pro 5G | around Rp3 million | 6.67-inch AMOLED, 1.5K resolution, 120Hz, up to 3,000 nits, Dimensity 7300, 200MP camera with OIS |
| Motorola G86 Power | around Rp3 million | OLED 120Hz, Dimensity 7300, up to 12GB RAM, 50MP OIS camera, 32MP front camera, 6,720mAh battery |
Redmi Note 14 Pro 5G has fallen from Rp4.39 million to around Rp3 million. Its appeal comes from a 6.67-inch AMOLED display with 1.5K resolution, 120Hz refresh rate, brightness up to 3,000 nits, Dimensity 7300, and a 200MP camera with OIS.
The lower price makes it more attractive in the mid-range market. A high-resolution camera and IP68 protection are features that were once more common in premium phones.
Motorola G86 Power is also worth watching after dropping to around Rp3 million from about Rp4.4 million. Its specifications include an OLED 120Hz display, Dimensity 7300, up to 12GB RAM, a 50MP OIS main camera, a 32MP front camera, and a 6,720mAh battery.
Motorola appears to be pushing harder in Indonesia. The emphasis on a large battery gives it a distinctive edge in a crowded market.
Premium design is becoming more affordable
Motorola Edge 60 Fusion has also moved down from around Rp5.7 million to around Rp4 million. It offers a 120Hz quad-curved P-OLED panel, Dimensity 7400, up to 12GB RAM, a 50MP OIS main camera, a 13MP ultra-wide camera, a 5,500mAh battery, 68W fast charging, plus IP68 and military-grade certification.
In that price range, the mix of premium design and physical durability creates clear value. Users who want a stylish yet tough phone now have a more sensible option.
Vivo V50 has dropped to about Rp4.5 million to Rp4.9 million from Rp6.5 million. It pairs a curved AMOLED 120Hz display with Snapdragon 7 Gen 3, 8GB RAM, 256GB storage, a 50MP OIS main camera, a 50MP ultra-wide camera developed with Zeiss, a 6,000mAh battery, and 90W fast charging.
For mobile photography fans, the Zeiss camera collaboration remains a major draw. Its more natural color character helps it stand out in its class.
Performance-focused and premium models are discounted too
Infinix GT 50 Pro has also lost around Rp1 million in price. This gaming phone uses a 1.5K AMOLED display with a 144Hz refresh rate, Dimensity 8400, 12GB RAM, 512GB storage, a 6,500mAh battery, and 45W fast charging.
Its priority is not camera performance, but high-speed gameplay and a smooth 144Hz screen make it attractive to gamers. That gaming-first profile is what keeps it in demand.
Galaxy A57 is now priced at around Rp6 million after previously selling at about Rp7 million. Samsung equips it with a 120Hz Super AMOLED display, Exynos 1680, a 50MP OIS main camera, a 32MP front camera, and a 5,000mAh battery with 45W fast charging.
The Samsung name remains a major draw in the Galaxy A line. Long-term software support is also likely to matter for buyers planning to keep the phone for years.
More upper-tier options are also easing in price
Tecno Camon 50 Pro shows Tecno’s growing confidence in the Indonesian market. It includes a 1.5K AMOLED 144Hz display, Dimensity 7400 Ultimate, up to 12GB RAM, a 50MP OIS main camera, a 50MP telephoto camera, a 50MP front camera, and a 6,500mAh battery.
The telephoto camera is a rare feature at this level. That detail helps it stand apart from many similarly priced smartphones.
Oppo Reno 15 is now around Rp7.7 million. The phone carries a 120Hz AMOLED display, Snapdragon 7 Gen 4, a 50MP OIS main camera, a 3.5x telephoto lens, an ultra-wide lens, a 50MP autofocus front camera, and a 6,500mAh battery with 80W fast charging.
For content creators, the autofocus selfie camera and telephoto lens offer greater flexibility. That combination makes it useful for both photos and high-quality video work.
Flagship prices are starting to move too
At the top end, iQOO 15 now sells for about Rp12.8 million, down from an initial price of around Rp14 million. It comes with a LTPO AMOLED QHD+ 144Hz display, Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5, up to 16GB RAM, up to 1TB storage, three 50MP rear cameras with OIS, a 32MP front camera, around a 7,000mAh battery, and 100W fast charging.
A discount on a flagship phone like this is always important for buyers chasing top performance. With its high-end specifications, the device still has the potential to stay relevant for several years.
