More smartphones will come in 2016, but which of them are the top ones that we should be looking forward from now? Check out the following handsets to see if they are worth your wait or not!
1. Apple iPhone 7
It seems that Apple is aiming at a more advanced smartphone since it’s claimed they now are testing a lot of new features on the prototypes. From what we heard, Apple iPhone 7 specs are likely to sport a USB Type C port, a fingerprint scanner within the display, multi-Touch Force, and maybe a dual camera placed on the back of iPhone 7. Furthermore, it is is also said that the company is also experimenting with an AMOLED screen which is a well-known spec of Samsung smartphones.
2. Google Nexus 6
Google Nexus 6 is rumored to be launch in the H2 of 2016 and made by Huawei once again and will feature the powerful Snapdragon 820 chip, and Qualcomm Quick Charge 3.0. And we hope some other Google Nexus 6 specs will include a new Android OS like Android N, a large 2K screen and a USB Type-C for better data transfer and charging. So, do you any other desires for the next Google Nexus smartphone?
3. HTC One M10
HTC One M10 specs will probably contain a 5.9-inch Super AMOLED screen with 4K resolution, a 12-core chip, a microUSB Type-C, 4GB of RAM and 128GB of internal storage (which is expandable up to 2TB). Besides, the whole machine will be fueled by an impressive 6,200mAh battery, which can allow your handset to last more than 2 days. As for the camera, there will be a 20MP rear and an 8MP front shooter to create the most beautiful pictures for you. Cool!
4. LG G5
The flagship LG G5 launch is leaked to happen in late February 2016, coming with many changes in design and specifications compared to LG G4. Some LG G5 specs can be a fingerprint sensor, a USB Type-C port, quick charging tech enabling the handset to be used in one day after just 1 hour charge, and a 5.6-inch 2K screen. Additionally, the whole machine will be powered by a Snapdragon 820 chip, 4GB RAM, a dual rear camera (16MP and 8MP) and an 8MP front-facing one. Sounds great?!
5. Samsung Galaxy S7
Samsung Galaxy S7 can be one of the devices to get launched in the Q1 of 2016, or in February to be more specific. Spec-wise, basically it will own a Snapdragon 820 or Exynos 8890 chip (yes, you can choose whichever version you like), a 5.2-inch Super AMOLED 2K screen, and a 20MP rear with BRITECELL sensor camera. We will know more clearly about Samsung Galaxy S7 specs when February is getting nearer.
6. Microsoft Surface Phone
This will be a premium smartphone and also the first member one the line-up Surface of Microsoft, besides Lumia. The name somehow hints that the design as well as the Microsoft Surface Phone specs will be inspired by the company’s tablet series Surface. And of course, the handset will run Windows 10 Mobile OS developed by Microsoft. In addition, we heard that the Surface Phone will be powered by an Intel chip instead of a Qualcomm Snapdragon one and released in the H2 of 2016.
7. Meizu Pro 6
Actually, there has not been much information related to the Pro 6. However, according to some reliable news sources, it has already been in the works, which means Meizu Pro 6 launch will probably happen in the second quarter of 2016. Furthermore, Meizu Pro 6 specs will pack a the next-gen Exynos 8870 SoC chip made by Samsung which is considered as “a knocked-down version” of Exynos octa-core 8890 processor. And hopefully there will be 4GB RAM, 2K screen and up 4,000mAh battery on board as well.
Not long ago, Xiaomi Mi5 was spotted on the Antutu benchmark with 101,339 points. Maybe it is because of the super strong Xiaomi Mi5 specs probably including a Snapdragon 820 chipset, a 5.2-inch 2K display and Android 6.0 Marshmallow OS out of the box. Moreover, it is likely that Mi5 will sport Force Touch-like tech like what we see on iPhone 6S, which makes us feel Xiaomi Mi5 will be a very high-end smartphone and perhaps the company will have a good year in 2016.
9. OnePlus 2 Mini
This is called Mini but we think it is not “small” at all in terms of hardware. It is said that OnePlus 2 Mini specs will have a 4.6-inch Full HD display, a 1.7GHz Qualcomm Snapdragon 810 processor, 4GB of RAM, and 64GB of internal storage. The main camera will be capable of 12 megapixels and the front-facing one is 5 megapixels. For those who love a handy machine to use, you would love this tiny-but-mighty phone.
10. Sony Xperia Z6
In terms of Sony Xperia Z6 specs, it is said to sport a Snapdragon 820 chip, 4GB RAM, a Quad HD screen and a 23MP rear camera to be basic. Then, it’ll become the best flagship smartphone Sony has ever produced. However, for more correct information about the Z6’s hardware, we should wait a bit more for the company’s official confirmation.
Those are the top smartphones we are waiting for. They are all so beautiful and powerful, promising to bring users great experience in a bright new year! What do you think about them?
