2016’s Hottest Smartphones To Look Out For

Despite recent sales figures
suggesting that smartphone sales may have peaked, there’s been no slowing down
amongst the tech giants in their bid to create the most iconic smartphone of
2016.

We’ve already seen some
notable releases from some familiar faces like the Samsung Galaxy S7, but there
also look to be a few interesting newcomers who’ve endeavoured to provide us
all with palm-sized solutions to communicating, watching media and even playing
online games.

Sony Xperia X

The tech giant Sony have
struggled to keep up with Samsung and Apple with their middling Xperia
smartphones. But this month has seen the release of the Xperia X that looks to
elevate the brand’s presence in the smartphone market due to the inclusion of
some pretty convincing features.

These include a new ‘unified
design’, an excellent fingerprint sensor and a quality Full HD five-inch screen
at an agreeable price. And with a seriously-impressive SteadyShot camera
feature, it looks like Sony have made
a strong addition to the mid-priced smartphone market.

OnePlus 3

However, it’s the
ever-secretive OnePlus that could provide the surprise smartphone hit of the
summer with the OnePlus 3. Already recent leaks have managed to achieve an enviable level of press
thanks to the device’s slim and lightweight design that’s still capable of
packing in a 2.15GHz quad-core Snapdragon 820 processor, 4GB of RAM and a 16MP
camera on the front and an 8MP camera on the back.

Further interesting features
include the prospect of a massive 3500mAh battery that should be particularly
well-suited to a range of media options, whether it’s binge-watching the latest
Netflix series or playing blackjack online at Betway.com that features a large range of casino games directly
targeted towards the mobile gamer.

Apple iPhone 7

But it’s definitely the Apple
iPhone 7 that will cause the greatest amount of headlines in 2016. After the
relatively underwhelming release of the iPhone SE earlier this year, the brand
will be doing their utmost to deliver a smartphone that’s capable of sustaining
Apple’s legendary reputation for innovative design.

So far most of the rumors
about the iPhone 7 have been regarding the elimination of a headphone socket.
But other intriguing speculation suggests that the device will include a
revolutionary camera with multiple sensors for advanced photographic
capacities. And with the further prospect of the iPhone 7 having no button,
it’s not just online blackjack players who’ll be a little confused by the
possibilities of this hugely-anticipated smartphone.
