The smartphone wave of 2015 promises
to bring us devices that are expected to
come with more refined looks, perform
faster, snap better images, and have
longer-lasting batteries.
In 2015, we will see the beginning of the transition to 64-bit for Android, and
Qualcomm - the largest chip maker on
Android - has stepped up to the
challenge with a comprehensive lineup
of 64-bit chips covering everything from
the high to the low-end and in-between. The Snapdragon 810 will be at the heart
of many of the flagships, leading the
way with impressive new features like
higher clock speeds, faster, LPDDR4 RAM
support, Adreno 430 graphics. The new
chip will even outpace high-end cameras with its support for HEVC and
the new h.265 codec that will make
possible longer and more efficient
recording in high resolutions like 4K.
2014 has also started a little revolution
in battery life longevity with multiple devices now capable of running a full
two days off the charger even under
heavier use, and the introduction of ultra
power saving modes help your phone
last the night even when battery life falls
in the single percentage zone. Expect this trend to continue in 2015.
However, this is just a part of what we
expect to see in the smartphone class of
the new year. Join us as we start our
countdown for the most anticipated
device of 2015 right below. Which one do you like best? 15. OnePlus Two Expected release date: April 2015 The OnePlus One was unveiled early in
2014, showing us how Chinese
smartphone makers can often do what
seems impossible: put truly flagship-
grade specs in a smartphone and adorn
them with a price of a mid-ranger. The company, a spin-off of Oppo, however,
seems to have launched the OnePlus
One more for the hype that it generated
rather than for the mass user. With a
series of mishaps, a sexist marketing
campaign, and a confusing invitation- based system, the OnePlus One quickly
started becoming a OnePlus Annoyance
for its wanna-be buyers. Rumors have
been flying around for a follow-up,
though, a OnePlus Two of kinds.
Hopefully, the company has learned from its mistakes, and the rumored
smaller (some say 5.2" OnePlus Two
could finally offer us that lucrative
combination of a good price and
flagship-grade specs.

14. Moto X (2015 edition) Expected release date: September 2015 The Moto X started a new chapter for
Motorola under Google in 2013, and
while it was not a technological wonder,
it offered wonderous customization
options - you could tweak its color and
even the material of the back cover. In 2014, two things happened - the Moto X
(2014 edition) showed that Google is
learning from its mistakes, as it fixed the
specs on the Motorola flagship, bringing
it on par with the competition, and then...
Lenovo acquired Motorola. We're curious to see what the Moto X
(2015 edition) brings as Lenovo has
confirmed that it will continue using the
Motorola brand in many markets.

13. Microsoft Lumia 2020 PureView (Lumia 1020 successor) Expected release date: Spring 2015 We've been waiting for a successor to
the Nokia Lumia 1020 for nearly a year
and a half now, as the 2013 Nokia
flagship still has unmatched camera
performance. After all the turbulence in
Nokia Windows Phone land, though, it seems all is clear for launch: the
Microsoft Lumia brand has killed Nokia,
and the awesome PureView technology
that has been years in development
could finally grace more people.
In 2014, Microsoft has focused on releasing a huge Windows Phone 8.1
update, and with the software as a base,
the Lumia 2020 PureView (or whatever
the Lumia 1020 successor is called,
we're just speculating with the name) is
eagerly anticipated.

12. Amazon Kindle Fire 2015 edition Expected release date: Late September 2015 Amazon's lineup of Kindle Fire tablets
has performed strongly, competing with
Samsung for the title of the most popular
Android-based tablet brand, but as the
future of tablets becomes less clear and
more complicated it's hard to predict what the 2015 edition of the Kindle Fire
will look like.
With rumors all around for a jump to
larger screen sizes that allow for more
laptop-like productivity, we would not
be at all surprised to see the new Kindle Fire tablets jump to a 12" screen size, or
even slightly more. As always, we also
expect great price, top-notch hardware,
and Amazon's heavy custom skin on top
of (hopefully) Android 5.0 Lollipop.

11. Motorola Moto G 2015 edition Expected release date: Spring 2015 The Motorola Moto G started a little
revolution in affordable devices back in
late 2013 when the first generation of
the phone launched, and this years, the
2014 edition of the Moto G also
impressed with its continued focus on a great price-to-feature ratio.
However, times are changing and the
Snapdragon 400 system chip in the Moto
G phones of 2013 and 2014 is starting to
show its age. That's why we expect
Motorola/Lenovo to introduce a new, Snapdragon 410-powered and 64-bit-
running Moto G in 2015 with the same
great display, good battery life and
camera.

10. Microsoft Surface Pro 4 Expected release date: May 2015 After Microsoft's first Surface laptop/
tablet combo that finally hit a good vibe
with customers, the Surface Pro 3, we
have all reasons to expect that the
Microsoft Surface Pro 4 will be even
better. Microsoft has perfected the hinge
mechanism, and the add-on keyboards
are a great addition for the Surface
lineup, but the big novelty we expect in
the 2015 Surface Pro 4 is a new and
more efficient Intel Broadwell 20nm chip. This should contribute to an even
longer-lasting battery, and improved
performance, something that would add
just one more reason to consider the
Surface over a traditional laptop.

9. Sony Xperia Z4 Expected release date: Late February 2015 Sony seems to have decided to stop
releasing two flagship Xperia Z handsets
every year, and instead focus on one
device that will be great all around. In
2015, that device is expected to be the
Xperia Z4. Sony is rumored to have decided to go
with a larger than before, 5.5-inch
display and a Quad HD resolution to
match the current trend. We're also
hoping that it improves its camera
interface (which is just too cluttered and complicated now), and why not, stuff the
Z4 with the 64-bit Snapdragon 810 to
make it a true rival to current flagships.

8. Xiaomi Mi5 Expected release date: July 2015 Xiaomi, a tongue-twister of a name (it's
pronounced as 'show-me'), has
managed to somehow become China's
largest phone seller in just a year, and it
has for a short while enjoyed a place in
the top 3 of 2014's world's biggest phone makers, but you might have not
even heard about it. Yes, it has managed
to do all this without official presence in
the United States and most of Europe,
relying on Asia and other markets.
However, this does not mean it is lacking such ambitions - high-profile ex-
Google and now Xiaomi marketing lead
Hugo Barra sees Xiaomi's phones more
fit for the developing world and markets
like Brazil will get its phones in 2015.
The one Xiaomi phone that you should really care about in 2015 is the expected
Xiaomi Mi 5. With a price for its flagships
traditionally at half that of other, well-
established companies, the Mi series still
crams in the latest of specs in an
impressive package.

7. LG G4 Expected release date: May 2015 The LG G4 might be the first phone to
launch with an in-house LG system chip,
and continue in the footsteps of the LG G3
- continuing to improve on the 5.5" Quad
HD display formula (the screen of the G3
was one of its weakest parts). LG has also traditionally maintained slightly
lower prices than its rivals, so we
expect to continue putting price
pressure on the big ones like Samsung
and force them to innovate more.

6. HTC One (M9) Expected release date: Early March 2015 The HTC One (M8) set a new standard for
a refined, sturdy, stylish all-aluminum
Android device (and some go as far as
to claim it inspired Apple for the iPhone
6 design), but that UltraPixel camera
with its poor, 4-megapixel resolution just did not seem to be on par with what
everyone else offered in terms of image
and video quality.
We're hoping praying that HTC takes note and finally improves the camera
resolution as well as quality, and if it
maintains that stand-out design, the One
(M9) might finally kickstart the return to
glory for the ailing company. After all,
that style and the fast and smooth Sense software are assets that not many other
Androids have.

5. Apple iPad Pro (12” model) Expected release date: Spring 2015 We've been hearing about a 12.2-inch
iPad Pro model for quite a while, but it
seems that 2015 will be the year when
Apple will finally be ready with the big
announcement that will change the face
of its iPad lineup, and could change the definition of a tablet. The iPad Pro is
speculated to replace the 7.9-inch iPad
mini. The new and larger iPad will come
with its focus on productivity and we
would not be surprised if Apple updated
iOS for iPad to include a multi-window multitasking option.

4. Samsung Galaxy S6 Expected release date: Early March 2015 The Galaxy S6 is expected to bring some
big changes for Samsung's flagship line.
The device is expected to be such a big
departure from earlier models that
Samsung is said to refer to the phone as
"Project Zero" internally. We expect the Galaxy S6 to adopt the
design and premium metal frame of
devices like the Galaxy Alpha nad Note
4, and it will also be the first Samsung
top-shelf Android smartphone to come
with a 64-bit chip, the new and faster Snapdragon 810. On the camera side,
we expect either a 16-megapixel or 21-
megapixel shooter, likely with a Sony
IMX240 sensor (the same that is said to
be in the Note 4). A welcome change in
the S6 is the fact that storage now starts at 32GB for the base model rather than
just 16 gigs. We also expect some
surprises from Samsung, as well as
more details to surface soon.

3. Samsung Galaxy Note 5 Expected release date: Early September 2015 The Note 4 has launched not too long
ago, and we've already heard the first
rumors about the Galaxy Note 5. Those
claim that the next big thing in the world
of phablets is expected to feature a
slightly larger 5.9” display with a massively sharper, Ultra HD resolution.
You, however, should know that those
early rumors hold little value, as
chances are that the device has not yet
hit the manufacturing lines, and things
are still subject to change. We ourselves would not bet on such a
wild rumor, but we do expect gradual
improvements with a new, 64-bit
system chip in the Note 4, further
improved S Pen functionality, as well as
a focus on improved multitasking.

2. Apple Watch Expected release date: Spring 2015 The Apple Watch is no longer a secret -
Tim Cook and his lieutenants unveiled it
at a massive event in the fall of 2014,
but it wasn't what many tech geeks
expected. Namely, it is not a device
aimed squarely at nerds - rather, it's more of a fashion and fitness oriented
piece of technology, and in its most
expensive, 18-carat gold versions, it's
actually more of a piece of jewelry.
Yes, it could be that expensive with
rumors flying around that while the cheapest version of the Apple Watch will
only cost $350, the gold ones could
reach a starting price of the whopping $
5,000. In exchange, you get a truly
exquisite engineering marvel with a
dedicated Watch operating system, as well as capabilities to track some of
your vitals, and act as a reminder for
you to keep a healthy lifestyle.

1. Apple iPhone 6s/iPhone 6s Plus Expected release date: Mid-September 2015 The Apple iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus
made for another record-breaking year
for Apple in 2014, and they do stand-out
with their remarkable, premium design,
as well as evolved software with iOS 8
that manages to keep the simplicity of use, and still deliver further-reaching
functionality.
What could 2015's iPhone 6s and 6s Plus
have to surprise us? While we do not
expect any changes in design and
screen size, we do expect a small further boost in performance power, a
bump up in the camera sensor that
would bring us more megapixels for
more detailed images, and we hope for
the usual surprise from Apple.

Then by 2016 we would be having phones with 15,000mah battery capacity
