Both smartphones will run Android 16 and are advertised to offer a clean software experience with zero pre-installed bloatware. Karbonn has also revealed the available colour options for both models, along with several hardware details. The Rebel Pro will be offered in four colour choices, while the standard Rebel will arrive in three shades.

The official microsite for the Karbonn Rebel Pro and Karbonn Rebel is now live in India, indicating that the smartphones will be launched in the country soon. The company has also revealed that both devices will be available for purchase through Amazon.
The Karbonn Rebel Pro will come in four colour options: Blue, Burgundy, Gold and Grey. Meanwhile, buyers will be able to choose the standard Karbonn Rebel in Blue, Gold and Silver.
Although the company has shared several product details, the exact launch date and pricing of the two smartphones have not yet been revealed.
Karbonn Rebel Pro and Rebel Design Details
The Karbonn Rebel Pro will feature a flat rear panel with a vertically arranged rectangular camera module positioned in the upper-left corner. Its design also includes a flat frame, with the power button and volume controls located along the right edge. The Karbonn logo will appear towards the bottom of the back panel, while a USB Type-C port will be available along the bottom edge.
The standard Karbonn Rebel will also feature a flat-back design but with a different camera arrangement. Its rear camera module will have a horizontal rectangular layout containing three camera cutouts arranged in a triangular pattern. An LED flash will be positioned beside the camera sensors. The physical button placement appears to be similar to that of the Pro variant.
