BEST UPCOMING PHONES 2023:All the top new smartphones
Features
From affordable to flagship smartphones there'll be no shortage of exciting upcoming phone launches over the next few months :
We’ve rounded up the confirmed releases, probable launches and rumoured reveals for 2023 below, so you can keep your smartphone knowledge well ahead of the curve. We’ve also summarised the major smartphone announcements from last year, with links to our reviews of the big hitters.
There aren’t many solid rumours surrounding the iPhone 15. Due to launch in September 2023 as Apple’s launches and release dates are, mercifully, very consistent). We’d love to see the fancy Dynamic Island notch make its way down to the base iPhone 15 models. We’d also love to see 8K video recording (because why not), along with a periscope zoom camera to better match the lossless 10x optical zoom offered by the formidable Galaxy S22 Ultra.
What about the elusive Pixel Fold? Depending on who you ask, you’ll hear a whole range of answers. Some thought the Pixel 6 would be bendable. Others predicted a separate Pixel Fold device would launch by the end of 2021. Now, the latest info indicates that Google won’t launch the Fold at all – at least, not in its current form.
Does that mean we won’t see a folding Pixel phone in 2022? Not necessarily. More likely, it means that Google has canned its first attempt at a foldable. That would certainly fit with industry intel that claims Google won’t launch a foldable in the first half of 2022.
What will the spec sheet of Google’s foldable have in store? That’s even less certain. Although if it follows the mould set by the Pixel 6 and carried on by the Pixel 7 Pro, you can expect a neat, premium design with a vanilla Android interface that’s optimised for a folding setup.
3.Nothing phone 2:
Transparent tech specialist Nothing made a splash with its first smartphone last year, courtesy of some eye-catching glyph lighting and capable mid-range hardware at a very attractive price. It largely focused on Europe and India, however, instead of the ultra-tough US market. That looks set to change for the Phone 2, which has been confirmed to be in the works.
Nothing founder Carl Pei also took to the stage at Mobile World Congress to confirm the new handset would use a Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 CPU – although he didn’t say if it would be the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 currently doing the rounds, or a new generation version yet to be announced. The former seems more likely, given the firm is targeting a 2023 release.
We know little else about the handset, other than that it’ll be targeting a more high-end price point, with the build quality, materials and internal components to match. The glyph lighting will almost certainly make a reappearance, and we should expect cameras that take the fight to similarly-priced rivals.
