2015 was a bonanza year for smartphones, but there's plenty more to come over the next 12 months: handsets are getting more powerful, designs are getting more innovative, and if you're in the market for a new mobile next year you're going to be spoilt for choice.
To give you an idea of what's coming over the hill in smartphone terms, we've rounded up everything we know and everything we think we know about the greatest handsets of 2016: a lot of manufacturers like to play their cards close to their chests, however, so not all of this information is set in stone just yet.

iPhone 7

The world's most recognisable and well-known smartphone is a good a place to start as any, and Apple is almost definitely going to release another iPhone in September, as it does every year. After the 'S' updates of 2015 we should see the number tick up to 7, and it's likely that the company will stick with the pattern of releasing a smaller (4.7-inch) and larger (5.5-inch) model for consumers to choose from.
Apple isn't leaking much about the upcoming handsets but the rumours are the new phones could be more rugged and waterproof than the existing ones. The screen resolution is due for an upgrade this year, while insider sources suggest Apple wants to ditch the headphone socket in favour of the Lightning port. We should get some more hints when iOS 10 is announced at WWDC in the summer.

HTC 10

The HTC 10, One 10, or M10, whatever it'll be called, will be announced on April 12, that's not long - stay tuned to T3.com for the latest!

HTC has made its future intentions pretty clear with the One A9 handset it recently launched: the company is prepared to ape the design and approach of other handset makers if it means getting a foot back in the door of the market. The HTC One M9 had a lot to commend it, but it failed to capture the imagination of the public, and the manufacturer is going to want to make sure that its 2016 flagship ticks all the right boxes.



Details of what we can expect to see from the HTC One M10 are pretty thin on the ground - unless you count the aforementioned One A9 as being a significant signpost - but as with the forthcoming handsets from Samsung and LG we think it's going to appear in the first third of the year.
Wireless charging could be in the mix, and it's a safe bet that the phone will feature significantly improved internal specifications - we should also see a bump for the 1080 x 1920 screen resolution HTC has stuck with in recent years.
