Iphone se – £359 (16gb)

Release date: available from 31 march

After months of rumours, apple has unveiled the subsequent iphone – however it's now not the iphone 7. As a substitute, apple has released the iphone se, a 4in phone with comparable specifications to the iphone 6s.

Apple hopes the iphone search engines lower rate can be capable of comfy more sales in developing countries, and seize the decrease-end of the market, normally occupied via budget handsets. Of direction, the iphone se will also have a smaller screen, which means it will also appeal to folks that discover the present day iphone's 4.7in show on the big aspect. 

Sony xperia x and xperia x performance

Release date: tbc

Zed's dead, infant. Zed's useless. We were expecting sony to tug the covers off an excellent new supercharged xperia z6 at mwc in 2016, however instead it killed off the xperia z completely: lengthy live the xperia x family.

One exciting development is that sony has decided to replace its flagship with a pair of the latest telephones. The new smartphones appearance millimetre-identical barring one sizable distinction: they use specific qualcomm processors. The xperia x makes use of a mid-range qualcomm snapdragon 650 whereas the xperia x performance opts for the variety-topping behemoth, the qualcomm snapdragon 820 (click on here to test out our benchmarks of qualcomm's top-cease soc – it's a beast).

Apart from the processors, but, the two telephones are same. You get a 5in full HD show, 2gb of ram, 32gb of garage in the single-sim model (double inside the dual-sim model), a microsd slot, a 23mp rear camera and a 13mp front-facing camera. Obviously, android 6 marshmallow is hooked up as wellknown.

Lg g5

Release date: tbc

Lg amazed absolutely everyone at mwc 2016. The g5 emerged as a dramatically redesigned flagship which dared to do something truely specific: it brought an upgradeable modular design that makes it viable to put in digital camera add-ons, excessive-end dacs and replaceable batteries.

We would have predicted a 4k display, but instead lg chose to make some modifications that could have an actual impact at the telephone world. Further, to the all-steel modular layout, however, the g5 packs in the whole lot you'll anticipate from a flagship in 2016. Qualcomm's snapdragon 820 takes centre-stage along 4gb of ram, 32gb of storage and an all-essential micro sd slot.

And in an unusual twist, the g5 also has a dual rear camera which pairs a trendy sixteen megapixel snapper with a wide-attitude 8 megapixel digital camera which lg says is ideal for landscape and architectural photography, and for taking pictures massive organizations of people indoors.


Htc one m10

Launch date: march 2016

Htc has built up a solid reputation with its flagship one phones. Why? 

Accurate query. On paper, the telephones are quite fashionable excessive-end android devices that don’t provide groundbreaking features. But, htc considers the layout of the phone to be the USP. The one’s huge the front-facing speakers and overlaying experience ui software program are very popular.

With that during thoughts, predicting the specs of the subsequent-gen htc flagship cellphone isn’t overly challenging (offering it sticks to the same formulation). Expect a huge, vivid screen much like 2015’s galaxy s6, a fast processor (both a snapdragon 810 or the more moderen 820), 2-3gb of ram, huge front-dealing with speakers and a metallic body.

Apple iphone 7

The iphone 7 must be greater revolution than evolution, and could include a raft of recent capabilities, all packaged in a very redesigned handset. Apple has saved most of the iphone 7 details beneath wraps, but as we approach its launch date, we’re slowly uncovering extra details about the subsequent iphone.

Huawei p9

Launch date: april 2016

It turned into lamentably absent from the raft of releases over in barcelona at mwc 2016, but the huawei p9 has the capability to be one of the most thrilling telephones of 2016.

Huawei has massive goals for its logo to be a force inside the west. It's no surprise to hear that it’s aiming to win human beings over with its subsequent flagship cellphone – and given the best of the huawei-built google nexus 6p, it's an enterprise it truly is greater than able to taking the android pinnacle spot.
The rumoured p9 specs are quite high-quality too. It’s reported huawei is 
working on its very own kirin 950 processor, which leaked benchmarks propose can be quicker than samsung’s exynos 7420, making it one of the fastest android processors up to now.

Different rumoured capabilities propose it is able to have the front-dealing with cameras, a rear-facing fingerprint sensor and 4gb of ram.
