Top New Launched Phone

Top New Launched Mobile Phone

looking for a replacement. Maybe you’re nearing the end of your current wireless contract. Perhaps your phone is wearing out or you’re just tired of dealing with the quirks of your old phone and are ready to invest in a new one. Whatever the case, you have your work cut out for you in deciding which new gadget to go for.

Not only do you need to be aware of all the phones currently available, but you’ll also want to keep an eye on all the top upcoming phones too. Why? Well, because no one wants to buy a brand, spanking new smartphone only to find a month later the company launched a new model. It happens even to the best of us.

That’s why it’s always a good idea to stay on top of the latest and greatest releases. Luckily, we have you covered with this comprehensive guide. 

1. Samsung Galaxy S9

Let’s start with one of the most anticipated models of the year, Samsung’s new flagship which released on March 11, 2018. No doubt, the Galaxy S9 and Galaxy S9+ have built upon all the previous features and technology upgrades of their predecessors when. The infinity display returns, for instance, nearly eliminating the existence of bezels. If you’ve seen the Galaxy S8 in action, then you have some idea of what the next model looks like. The aluminum chassis is nearly identical to the S8, and the screen sizes are the same, too.

As for power and performance, the S9 is packing a Snapdragon 845 mobile processor, up to 2GB of extra memory (Galaxy S9+ only), Android 8.0 Oreo, faster 1.2 Gigabit LTE and up to 256GB of storage. It also has improved stereo speakers for better, louder sound.

Most of those changes are minimal, however. The real upgrade happened with the camera. Both models now sport a rear camera equipped with a variable aperture, which means it can adjust to low light conditions to create better, more vivid pictures. The S9+ also includes a second lens for the main camera. Then there’s Slo-Mo video modes, full HD recording at 720p and 960 frames per second and lots of editing options.

The first major flagship to launch in 2018, both Galaxy models are available now with a price tag of $720+.

2. iPhone 2018

You didn’t think we’d put together a list of the best phones coming out in 2018 without talking about Apple, did you? You can bet your lucky stars that Apple will be launching a new iteration of their wildly popular iPhone X. We don’t know for sure what it will include regarding features and specs, so take everything with a grain of salt.

Rumors point to a larger overall form factor, possibly a Plus variant similar to what Samsung offers with their flagship models. If and when it arrives expect it to have all the great features of the previous model, including that gorgeous OLED display.

Rumors have also pointed to another smaller, low-cost handset that’s slightly below the iPhone X’s grandeur. It will reportedly have an LCD screen — as opposed to OLED — and a metallic back, but will be much larger than previous iPhone models. It’s currently estimated to be around 6.1 inches in size. That’s a bit smaller than the rumored iPhone X Plus model, apparently measuring 6.3 inches.

They’re pegged to release sometime in 2018, but there’s no word on price or release date just yet. Count on Apple to release the new iPhone in the second half of the year based on their recent releases.

3. LG “Judy” (G7 ThinQ)

It was surprising to see a larger LG presence absent at Mobile World Congress last year. They didn’t unveil a successor to their flagship G6. This is because the company has decided to move away from annual updates like many of the other phone providers. The goal is to deliver better, more robust options on a tight schedule.

According to VentureBeat, their next device is codenamed “Judy” and will be launching sometime in June. It will sport a 6.1-inch MLCD+ display, which offers much brighter and more vivid visuals when compared to an OLED. If the rumors are right, that’s impressive, because OLED displays certainly are beautiful. It’s tough to imagine anything more clear and vibrant.

LG’s reported screen is also said to require less power, which means better battery efficiency. Of course, other specs rumored include a wide f/1.6 aperture for the camera, stereo speakers, water and dust resistance, and HDR or High Dynamic Range imaging support. Wireless charging, a digital assistant, voice commands and more advanced AI functions will also be included in the update.

It’s rumored for June, so expect to see LG’s new beau drop in the hot summer months. Stay updated to be the first to learn about a price range for this device.

4. Sony Xperia Lineup – XZ2 / XZ2 Compact

Sony’s 2018 lineup includes two Xperia flagships, the XZ2 and XZ2 compact. Both will consist of a new Snapdragon 845 processor and an “extra-wide” display with a stunning 18:9 aspect ratio. It’s the same boxy design you know and love from Sony’s usual phones, except for the extra real estate. You can bet the display on both of these phones will look just as gorgeous.

The 5.7-inch Xperia XZ2 is the better model of the two, with a larger size and screen for days. The XZ2 compact comes in at 5-inches, which means it will be easier to hold, making it the more comfortable option for most.

Sony’s Xperia lineup gets a 19-megapixel motion eye camera, with 960 frames per second video recording at full 1080p HD. A whopping 3180mAh battery is packed into the XZ2, while the Compact has a 2870mAh battery. Both devices should last you through the day and well into the next. As you’d expect, they’ll also come in Sony’s white and black finish options.

Preorders for both phones are live now in some countries and the release is scheduled for spring, likely sometime in April or May. Price remains to be seen for these, but expect them to be costly.

5. HTC U12

The HTC U11 was not favorable for the company, as many were turned off by the design and features HTC chose. This forced the company to do a mid-year refresh with the U11 Plus, which was much better.

Hopefully, they learned their lesson with the next series iteration, currently nicknamed the U12. Very little is known about HTC’s next flagship, unfortunately. We do know it will have a similar — though more appealing — design and style as the previous generation. It will also have the expected upgrades like a better processor, more memory, a more prominent display and possibly more internal storage. It’s also expected to sport a dual camera setup, which hasn’t been seen since the M8 and is definitely welcome.

4K and HDR quality visuals and wireless charging will also debut here. An exact price and release date have yet to be known, though we’d say you can expect to see it later in the year, maybe toward the end of the second quarter.
