Three Of The Most Anticipated Smartphones In 2016

It seems 2016 is going to be an epic year for smartphones. Expect some revolutionary improvements in terms of design and features, along with a top-notch spec list. Heck, there’s also a rumor about a mystery Surface Phone in the works, but we won’t go there yet. We’ll stick to what we know so far about the most anticipated flagship launches of the year.

LG G5 Announced at MWC 2016 earlier this year, The highlight of the smartphones is its modular design which gives the phone added capabilities, allowing users to plug-in cameras, high-end sound system or a Virtual Reality (VR) headset.The LG G5 has a removable battery despite the metal uni-body. The bottom of the phone detaches and a battery slides out with it. At this point, you could just replace the battery or attach the LG CAM PLUS module that claims to give it abilities to take pictures as good as a DSLR camera. (LG)

Key specifications on the smartphones include a 5.3-inch QHD IPS screen featuring an ‘Always-on’ display, which gives users quick access to check time, notifications, battery level and more, a Qualcomm Snapdragon 820 processor bundled with 4 GB of RAM. It comes with 32GB of built-in storage expandable upto 200GB via microSD slot. LG G5 gets a dual-camera setup with a 16-megapixel 78-degree lens and an 8-megapixel 135- degree wide angle lens. In addition, it has an 8-megapixel front-facing camera.

iPhone 7 After last year’s incremental upgrades on the iPhone 6s, we expect the next-gen iPhone to feature a completely revamped design. And given that more and more phones are now blatantly copying iPhone’s design, the next iPhone could possibly be one of the most revolutionary designs we’ll come across.

The traditional September unveiling is still a long way to go, though reports suggest the upcoming iPhone will ditch the headphone jack, get waterproofing, and will get a 3D Touch-powered panel instead of the physical Home button.A new report also claims that Apple is planning a 5.8-inch iPhone that will feature a tough AMOLED display. Apple is reportedly planning to release two variants of its large-screen iPhone 7 Plus this year -- one with a single-lens camera and one with a dual-lens camera. The dual-lens variant has been rumoured to be marketed as the iPhone Pro.

One Plus 3 OnePlus came out with some rather solid offerings in 2015. For instance the flagship killer OnePlus 2, and even the OnePlus X which garnered a lot of acclaim for its great design aesthetics.Hence, we’re rather intrigued to see what the company has in store for us this year.OnePlus co-founder said that their upcoming flagship will feature a ‘new design’ and will be available by the end of the second quarter. Rumours suggest that the OnePlus 3 will be powered by Qualcomm’s new Snapdragon 820 processor, 4GB of RAM and USB Type-C. Additionally, we can also expect a larger battery and possibly microSD support.
