Indian smartphone brand Karbonn has officially returned to the country’s smartphone market with its new Rebel series, comprising the Rebel and Rebel Pro. The 4G phones will go on sale online in India starting November 4.

The Karbonn Rebel is powered by the MediaTek Helio G81 chipset and features a 6.75-inch LCD with a 90Hz refresh rate.
Its rear panel has a large horizontal camera island with three cutouts. However, Karbonn has confirmed only a 50MP primary rear camera, suggesting the other two cutouts may be decorative. Details about the front camera have not been shared, although the phone does have one.

The Rebel packs a 7,000mAh battery with support for 18W wired charging. It runs Android 16 and is promised two years of OS and security updates. Other features include a 3.5mm headphone jack, a USB Type-C port, and an IP64 rating.
The phone starts at INR 11,999 for the 4GB RAM and 128GB storage variant. It will be available in Blue, Gold, and Silver.
The Karbonn Rebel Pro also uses the MediaTek Helio G81 chipset, but features a 6.7-inch LCD with a 120Hz refresh rate.

Its rear camera module is vertically aligned and has three cutouts. Once again, Karbonn has confirmed only the primary camera, which is a 64MP sensor. The phone also features a 16MP front-facing camera.
The Rebel Pro has a smaller 6,000mAh battery but supports faster 20W wired charging. It runs stock Android 16 and is promised two years of OS and security updates. Other features include an IP64 rating, a 3.5mm headphone jack, and a USB Type-C port.

The handset is priced at INR 12,499 for the 4GB RAM and 128GB storage configuration. Colour options include Cherry Red, Blue, Gold, and Gray.
