best upcoming smartphones

1. Apple iPhone 7s and 7s Plus

Apple iPhone 7 and 7 Plus have just been announced, but there are many people who are looking forward to the company’s next flagships iPhone 7 and 7s Plus in 2017. According to some recent reports, both machines will be first available in the USA as usual and then in China, Australia, UK, New Zealand, Japan, France, Germany, Puerto Rico, Singapore, Hong Kong, etc.

Besides, accordingly, iPhone 7s specs as well as iPhone 7s Plus specs will contain iOS 11, upgraded Apple A11 processor, waterproof technology, and reversible USB charger. Specially, it is said no headphone jack will be included, which makes it hard for us to say whether it’s gonna be a great change or not. Additionally, the series iPhone 7s price will start from $937. Then, what do you think about that?

2. HTC Nexus 

Next, we have two Google Nexus devices made by HTC and named Marlin and Sailfish. One will be a really premium phone while the other is a budget one. Spec-wise, no doubt they will be equipped with most advanced technologies from Google as well as HTC. And according to what we’ve heard so far, a Snapdragon 820 or 821 processor, 4GB RAM, and Android 7.0 Nougat OS will be very likely to be on board. Hopefully more information about HTC Marlin and Sailfish will come in the next days.

3. OnePlus 4  

Number 3 is OnePlus 4, of course a successor to the super phone OnePlus 3. Some OnePlus 4 specs are expected to be a combo of 21MP rear + 12MP front-facing snapper, 6/8GB of RAM coupled with 128GB of ROM, a 5.5-inch AMOLED Quad HD display, a Snapdragon 830 chip, Android 7.0 Nougat OS. Well, if those specifications all come true, we guess it will be hard for OP 4 to find a competitor in the market.

One of them will be equipped with a 5.2-inch display while the other with a 5.5-inch. Besides, reports also suggest that both machines will pack Snapdragon 820 chip set, 2K resolution, 4GB RAM, and Android 7.0 Nougat OS with Z-Launcher System UI on top.

7. Xiaomi Mi6

Number 7 is Xiaomi Mi6. Because Xiaomi Mi5 has been doing so well as a powerful, affordable device, we hope the Mi6 will follow the same path, packing advanced features like 256GB of internal storage, 6/8GB RAM, a Snapdragon 830 chipset, Android 7.0 Nougat OS, a huge batt, and a fantastic shooter duo with a price tag of around $500.

Here we’ve got LeEco Le Max 2 Pro Extreme. That’s kind of a long name, right?! Though, it does not make the phone less attractive since there will be 8GB of RAM, 128GB of internal memory, a Snapdragon 830 processor, a 25MP primary cam, and a 6.0-inch QHD screen on board to run the whole handset. Let’s wait and see!

9. LG G Flex 3

LG G Flex 3 is expected to be released this year with a bended u shape body like its predecessor G Flex 2. At the moment, a lot of people are expected that LG G Flex 3 specs will offer a Snapdragon 830 chip, a 20.7MP rear-facing + 8MP front shooter package, 6GB of RAM, and a 3,500mAh cell. We think those specifications are totally suitable for a unique flagship like the G Flex 3. How about you?

Finally, it’s Sony Xperia C6 that will be coming soon in the Q4 of 2016. The phone has been leaked in some live images lately and apparently, there will be a big 6.0-inch Full HD screen (maybe bezel-less) protected by Gorilla Glass 5, a Snapdragon chip (unknown model), a cool 20MP rear + 16MP front-facing snapper duo, and 4GB of RAM in charge of running the entire phone. Seems like a great camera-centric smartphone is on the way!
