These are the best new phones coming in 2016, including the best new Android phones, best new iPhones, best new Windows phones, best new Samsung phones, best new Sony phones, best new HTC phones, best new LG phones and more.

In this feature we'll show you some of the exciting new iPhones and new Android phones listed alphabetically that will launch over the coming year. We'll also look back on some of the best new phones of 2015.

Apple iPhone 5se iPhone 6c iPhone mini Apple's holding a special event in mid-March in which it is expected to take the wraps off a new 4in iPhone, alongside the second-gen Apple Watch and iPad Air 3. There's not a lot on the rumour mill regarding what to expect, but we'd guess it will be very much like the iPhone 5s.

We reckon the 4in iPhone will, like the 5s, have a 326ppi Retina display and 1GB of RAM, but feature the beefed up A9 processor. For more spec speculation see our iPhone mini rumour round-up.

Apple iPhone 7 The iPhone 7 will be Apple's brand-new flagship phone for 2016, and following tradition should be announced in September. Although the final release date is still many months away, that hasn't stopped the rumour mill going crazy over the upcoming iPhone.

We've already seen rumours that the new iPhone will feature big design changes, with an all-new D-jack headphone jack, waterproofing protection and an eSIM. Loads of rumours are circulating about the screen too - will it get bigger? Will it feature a curved edge? Will it have a Touch ID display, or edge-to-edge glass One things for sure, the new iPhone will be faster than ever, with an A10 processor and embedded M10 motion co-processor, plus 2GB of RAM.

Google Nexus 6 2016 It's very early days for new Nexus 6 rumours, but we've already heard a tip-off that the smartphone will once again be made by Huawei, and that it will feature a Snapdragon 820 chip, which is more powerful and energy efficient, and builds in support for Qualcomm Quick Charge 3.0.

Some other stuff we 'know' includes the fact it will be the launch vehicle for the new Android OS, Android N, and it will most likely arrive in October. This will be a large-screen phablet (the clue is in the '6') and with support for USB-C now built into Android it will use that format for data transfer and charging.
