The mobile phone sector is constantly boiling and especially in constant renewal. Smartphones follow one another and are often very similar, but that does not prevent us from waiting for some models impatiently. If you have not followed all the news, here is a summary of rumors about the most expected Android phones of the moment, but also the next iPhone.
The big launches of 2018
Obviously, all these dates are to take with big tweezers. How did we determine them? By taking into account the rumors as well as the dates of the exits of the old models.
LG G7 - potential launch in January or February 2018
Nokia 9 - launch expected 19 January 2018
Samsung Galaxy S9 - potential launch in February 2018
Samsung Galaxy S9 Mini - launch possible in February 2018
Sony Xperia XZ1 Premium - launch possible in February 2018
Huawei P11 - potential launch in February 2018
OnePlus 6 - launch expected for March 2018
Razer Phone L - launch expected for April 2018, it would be a less expensive smartphone but less powerful
HTC U12 - potential launch in May 2018
Samsung Galaxy Note 9 - launch expected for August 2019
Google Pixel 3 - potential launch on October 4, 2018
Apple iPhone 2018 - launch in September 2018
Xiaomi Mi Mix 3 - potential launch in September 2018
Obviously, we do not have the same degree of information on the different models, so we have grouped only part of the smartphones following the file.
Samsung Galaxy S9
The spring of 2018 should be an opportunity for Samsung to launch its new flagship. According to early rumors, it would include a 4G modem at 1.2 Gb / s, a fingerprint reader in the back , and would be one of the first smartphones to benefit from the new generation Snapdragon 845 chip . Moreover, we could discover much earlier Galaxy S9, it could be announced at the Mobile World Congress in late February / early March. If you are interested in the smartphone, we have grouped everything we know about the Galaxy S9 into a dedicated folder .
To counter the release of the iPhone X, Samsung could also propose a mini version of its Galaxy S9 , a rumor that comes back every year, but this time is a little more believable. The iPhone X has the advantage of offering a chassis much more compact than the Galaxy S8.
LG G7
Until then, LG's latest smartphone is the V30 , which arrived very late in France (in December 2017). If no conference is organized in January, the launch of the LG G7 will most likely be held at the MWC 2018, the LG conference could be held on Sunday, February 25, 2018. This is our best estimate based on the fact that both LG G6 and LG G5 were launched at MWC, the Barcelona show. However, a rumor suggests that it could actually happen in January to beat the Samsung Galaxy S9. Few rumors around this LG G7, it should ship the Snapdragon 845 , without big surprises, as well as an iris scanner .
Nokia 9
The new Nokia 8 has been announced in 2017, but we are still waiting for an announcement on the Nokia 9, which should be the most exciting of the two. It would be an improved version of the Nokia 8 with a larger 5.7-inch 18: 9 screen, but the latest images (of the supposed Nokia 9) show a standard 16: 9 screen. HMD has twice confirmed the development of a larger and more innovative smartphone than the Nokia 8 released in September 2017 . The Nokia 9 benefits include an OLED screen edge and Android 8.0 Oreo. Onleaks has already unveiled what should be the design of the phone through several plans made in synthetic images. This suggests that the announcement of the phone is close, but it is rare that brands launch novelties, especially in the high-end, in December.
Motorola Moto Z3
Motorola is the latest maker to not have unveiled a new high-end smartphone earlier this year. In July, Motorola announced its Z2 Play . We tested it. The Moto Z3 would incorporate a 5.5-inch QHD display, a Qualcomm Snapdragon 835 processor, 4GB of RAM and 64GB of storage. It would run Android 7.1.1 Nougat and still be compatible with Moto Mods.
Huawei P11
It will certainly be announced at the MWC 2018, the P11 will be the successor of the P10 . Like the Mate 10 Pro , it should benefit from the chip Kirin 970. We know very little about the P11, but rumors suggest that he could copy the last flagship of the sister company Honor, the View 10 , and give up the headphone jack 3.5 mm. Rumors announce 3 photo sensors in the back , still in partnership with the German manufacturer Leica, and a similar design to the iPhone X.
OnePlus 6
After a OnePlus 5T whose two major novelties were this 18: 9 design and a partial redesign of the photography part on the back of the smartphone, the OnePlus 6 is highly anticipated. It is likely that the fingerprint sensor is under the screen, Synaptics has already announced its technology that will be integrated on a smartphone brand Vivo - note of hope for fans of OnePlus - Vivo is part of the same Chinese group that OnePlus and Oppo: BBK Electronics. Today is the only serious rumor .
RED Hydrogen One
The high-end camera specialist, RED, is entering the smartphone market and intends to mark the market with its arrival. The manufacturer has unveiled that its first device would have a "holographic" screen and would be able to compete with SLR cameras , just that ...
Samsung Galaxy X: the foldable smartphone
2018 could be the beginning of the war of folding-screen smartphones. All manufacturers are interested in the subject and some, such as Microsoft , Nokia or LG , have already filed patents to protect their future products.
Samsung seems to be the manufacturer with the most advance, since in addition to having filed several patents, he announced his ambition to release a product in 2018 . The project is known as the Samsung Galaxy X code, but very little information has leaked about its features. It is thought that this will be a smartphone able to unfold to become a tablet .
The iPhone 2018
It's hard to know what the next iPhone will look like, which is due out in September 2018, like every year. Analysts and early rumors agree that Apple should release two new smartphones, one small and one larger, as every year. These new iPhone would replace the iPhone 8 and 8 Plus of the current range, but would benefit from some features of the iPhone X as the OLED screen edge and front sensor TrueDepth Face ID.
I do not know about you but when I discovered the Nexus 5X for the first time I had such a sense of Already Seen. The new opus Nexus, manufactured by LG, recalls indeed at any point his predecessor. A sort copy, clone the first Nexus 5. But do not worry, it was my first impression. So I took out the phone in hand after his announcement in San Francisco. Is the new Google smartphone stamped worthy successor to the Nexus 5? Here is my answer.
Updated: orders for the Nexus 5X open since this morning. The first deliveries will begin on 9 November.
Google Nexus 5X - Release date and price
The new Nexus 5X is available from 527 Dollar for the 16GB version and 582 Dollars for the 32GB version. Pre-orders are possible from November 2 with a delivery date scheduled for November 9. All people pre-order the phone before November 8 will receive a free Chromecast.
The Nexus 5X is available in three different colors: Carbon, Quartz, and Ice Blue.
Google Nexus 5X - Design and finishing
Just a quick glance to realize that the Nexus 5X is a Google Product smartphone. It's not only the inscription "Nexus" in large on the back of the mobile which gives that impression but the characteristics of the mobile forms. We find indeed in its grip same sensation original Nexus 5 with its curved edges, which makes it more ergonomic and less slippery smartphone.
The same feeling of familiarity is present with the plastic design of the rear facade of the Nexus 5X, which hosts this time a fingerprint reader and a more prominent camera.
Personally, I do not find very attractive black edges around the screen. They are very thin and seem to occupy space unnecessarily. It's disappointing because the smartphone could have been smaller.
The design of the Nexus 5X is classic
With its 5.2-inch screen, the Nexus 5X is positioned as a competitor upscale compact smartphones but its design makes it slightly bigger than smartphones offering the same screen size. Pity. However, despite its larger dimensions (147 x 72.6 x 7.9 mm) to the Nexus 5, the phone thinner.
Nexus 5X is a compact smartphone with a 5.2 inch screen
Despite these criticisms, power and volume buttons are placed on the right side and are easily accessible with the thumb, just like the fingerprint reader on the back. The latter is functional and can be used without problems. Although obviamente, it can be used to unlock the smartphone. Its use is also very convenient.
As for the assembly of the Nexus 5X, he is impeccable but is however not at the level of the most high-end smartphones like the Nexus 6P, true high-end Mountain View. The Nexus 5X is more aimed at people looking for a classic smartphone and can be customized easily. It would have been surprising that both Nexus launched this year also similar.
Google Nexus 5X - Screen
With the Nexus 5X, Google and LG did not want to propose yielded too smartphone. The phone thus offers an IPS LCD Full-HD 5.2 inch (423 dpi). He is also wearing a protective glass Gorilla Glass 3. On the art, glass has a 40% chance to ignore the shock impact to ~ one meter in height. It is regrettable that this is not a Gorilla Glass 4 that is offered on the Nexus 5X.
While some will be disappointed not to see the QHD on the Nexus 5X, this Full HD resolution is more than enough to offer a very decent image quality. It also has the advantage of consuming far less resources than Quad-HD and therefore offer greater autonomy.
The edges of the screen of the Nexus 5P have benefited from being thinner.
The design of theNexus5Xthatthe screen never touches the media when the smartphone is placed on a table. The edges of the screen are slightly raised effect. This certainly can effectively protect the screen from scratches and bad shots but it's really not very nice aesthetically.
Otherwise, the screen is generally good. Nexus 5X brightness is sufficient. The colors are true to life and the viewing angles are very stable. But honestly, these are the things that we were right to expect for a Nexus phone.
Google Nexus 5X - Software Interface
The Nexus 5X, with the Nexus 6P, is the first smartphone in the world to offer Android 6.0 Marshmallow, the latest version of the mobile OS from Google. So you can enjoy before everyone novelties Marshmallow: applications permissions management, the introduction of a menu dedicated to the management of RAM, fast customization parameters of the status bar, the return of vertical scrolling in the drawer of apps, "Now on Tap" ...
It is also the advantage of having stock Android, the purest and most faithful of our preferred system release. It is the advantage of not having a whole lot of preinstalled applications that you can not delete. Google can even uninstall the ones you do not want.
Google now lets you uninstall its applications.
The Nexus 5P also includes a fingerprint reader, a first for the Nexus range. Marshmallow Android is now compatible and offers more features, like to pay with its Android smartphone via Pay.
Sensor adjustment is in seconds, the detection time when placing the finger should be only 600 milliseconds. Anyway, the release process was very quick although I would not say he was not faster than the OnePlus 2, the Huawei Mate S or Honor 7.
Another feature that deserves mention, and which will surely attract the media's attention in the coming days, is the feature on Tap Now, the new generation of intelligent wizard Google.
Google Nexus 5X - Performances
It is difficult to talk about performance when the smartphone was held only ten minutes in his hands. At this stage, I would describe the new Nexus as commonplace. The experience was fluid. Switching between applications is made naturally and scrolling application drawer encountered no lag.
Unfortunately I was not able to play complex games to test its graphics capabilities and strength. Further testing will be needed to definitively judge the beast.
In profile, the Nexus 5X much like its predecessor.
For those who want to know what the Nexus 5X hides under its hood, know that it features a Snapdragon 808 processor with 2GB of RAM LPPDR3. As for the graphics chip is the same Adreno 418 that the LG G4 that goes up 155.5 GFlops. Good enough for every turn.
Google Nexus 5X - Camera
Let's face it. Nexus devices are not traditionally known for the quality of their photos. We do not know what the reason, but Google does not seem to lose much time and resources on developing performance sensors. LG has yet revealed in 2015 one of the best camera phones on the market with the LG G4 and expectations were quite high for the Nexus 5X.
Unfortunately, we are not satisfied and the Nexus 5X camera seems to have inspired the philosophy of HTC and its race megapixels. The back camera of the Nexus 5X is a 12.3 megapixel f / 2.0 can record video in Ultra-HD / 4K at 30 fps and 300 fps in 720p HD. It is accompanied by a laser autofocus which improves the speed of development when taking pictures and videos.
Alas, the Nexus 5X does not offer optical image stabilization. Google believes that the phone is able to compensate this lack with fast laser autofocus. The problem is that the promise is not required, especially in low light conditions. Taking pictures is done by hand very quickly. A more thorough test we will confirm (or not).
A 12.3-megapixel sensor for the Nexus but no 5X optical image stabilizer.
To the front, we are before a front sensor of 5 megapixels, whose opening is f / 2.2 and 1.4μm pixels. A cut above the 2013 model.
We look forward to receiving the smartphone in the office to be able to test all the performance and take more pictures in different lighting conditions.
Google Nexus 5X - Autonomy
We arrived at the wound all the Nexus range, the Achilles heel of Google: the battery. The first Nexus 5, like its predecessor, the Nexus 4, we were hugely disappointed on that part.
Fortunately, Google and LG have sent their newborn for review to enable it to gain a swift endurance. Thus we have to deal with a 2700 mAh battery for the Nexus 5X. In short, it is 400 mAh more and difference to the battery of Nexus stopped in May 2013 to 2300 mAh but it is not exceptional. Today, there are indeed many smartphones, some of which are more affordable than the Nexus 5X, which offer much larger batteries. I am thinking here in Honor 6, Honor 7, Alcatel OneTouch Idol 3.
However, it is important to remember that the version of Android 6.0 Marshmallow improves standby particular. The Nexus also has a 5X perfect optimization between its hardware part and software part. What ultimately expect good results.
Nexus 5X battery is unfortunately not removable.
During our grip, it was unfortunately not possible to test the autonomy of Nexus 5X. We hope to soon test its strength when we have the smartphone in the office.

First verdict of the Nexus X
How to judge the Nexus 5 after a first grip? I would say that the smartphone is discreet. He is a younger clone of the first Nexus 5. Moreover, it is in these terms that Google introduced the smartphone speaking rejuvenation.
Aesthetic differences are not very numerous, or almost absent. But that's not necessarily bad. The Nexus 5X than its predecessor on two points: the battery and the camera. In both areas, there is hope, but only a detailed test of the Nexus 5X will be able to provide more information.
The price however for Europe calls me and tells me that competition will be fierce for the Nexus 5X. He will face cheaper phones like the Honor 7 or OnePlus 2. competition as the Nexus 5 was not in 2013.
Personally, I'm not too hard on the Nexus 5X because I like to benefit from the latest version of Android 6.0 Marsmallow in its purest experience. Lovers of the Nexus 5 will also find their account with this new generation, even if the price is increasing.
We just test the Galaxy S6, and even if it is exceptional, we already begin to imagine what will the Galaxy S7. It may be slightly early, but what better time to think about what the S7 must bring back than the output of the Galaxy S6, bringing a lot of joy and disappointments? Now that we know what we want, here are six aspects that we absolutely expect the future Galaxy S7!
Samsung Galaxy S7 Walpaper
Will he have the same design as its predecessor? Who know!
1. Samsung Galaxy S7: A revolutionary design
The Samsung design evolves slowly over time: its flagship smartphone sports a new item every time, but it retains its rounded shape, while increasing subtlety and elegance. For once, we would like to design a real revolution: no longer rely on the security model that works, but be bold. HTC has done well -and - with its HTC One, Samsung you can too!
The possibilities are endless and we all have a design fantasy. Do not hesitate to entrust us yours in the comments! But in the meantime here's a Samsung Galaxy S7 concepts most attractive of the moment.
There is a single super thin sheet of metal, whose thickness is only used to house a 64-bit processor and a futuristic battery which will be discussed later. The screen of about 5.5 inches covers the entire smartphone, circled only ultra-fine steel edges. The camera placed in the upper right corner is rotatable allowing you to take photos at 360 ° C or quality selfies with flash!
The imagination does it take us too far
2. Samsung Galaxy S7 An eye scanner to unlock the smartphone at a glance
It's official, thanks to the technology presented at the Mobile World Congress in Barcelona by Fujitsu, we now know that eye scanner can be integrated with a smartphone. How long will put Samsung to buy this technology and use it on its own high-end?
Just look at the sensor to unlock the smartphone in seconds!
Samsung has already used the eye scanners for some features on the Galaxy S5 (automatic unraveling pages or portrait / landscape for example), it is true that we expected to see already the Galaxy S6. The release did not arrive, we will have to wait a bit and continue to use our hands until they can do it in a snap!
3. Samsung Galaxy S7: A battery kinetic energy
Do not you think it's time to equip smartphones, regardless of brand, an ecological battery and infinite load? There is not necessarily a question of increasing the amperage, but to eliminate once and for all USB cables and plugs to develop a battery kinetic energy that could be recharged simply by movement.
How many of you are going for a jog with the smartphone on the arm, music in the ears and Runtastic application to measure your sporting activities? Imagine how cooldown you can create by not aware that 10 minutes a day? The technology is perfect: clean, infinite, it also pushes us to play sports and use the bike rather than the car. Too utopian world for Samsung?
Always a charged battery through our movement
4. Samsung Galaxy S7: A fully customizable interface
TouchWiz has made great progress in recent years and with the arrival of the Samsung Galaxy S6, Samsung has not only developed a more sober and elegant design, but he also waived all brand services to create a fluid interface. With the next generation, Samsung could focus the strengths of all the best developers to offer us a new software completely customizable and rich in smart features.
A fully customizable interface, from top to bottom!
More than a search engine to find wallpapers and colorful themes, it would be appreciated that the brand offers us the possibility to install various launchers, each bringing a different and useful feature. These include the Z Launcher that allows us to quickly find an application by drawing the first letter of it on the screen or the possibility of having a drawer applications in three dimensions. Open the door to creativity!
5. Samsung Galaxy S7: Exynos processor or Qualcomm.
Despite the imminent launch of Galaxy Note 5, Samsung has already started working on the processor that will power the future Samsung Galaxy S7. We have seen how, with the Galaxy S6, the South Korean brand has set aside in favor of Qualcomm Exynos. It seems that the same strategy was adopted for the Galaxy Note 5.
But according to South Korean media, Samsung could opt for a different strategy for the S7. The firm is currently working on two versions of the S7 with the bizarre codename Jungfrau.
One model should offer a procesore Exynos Soc while the second variation would include a Qualcomm Snapdragon. No other details leaked but the brand would test both processors before deciding which one to choose for the future Galaxy S7 or opt for the two processors in the markets in which it is intended.
6. Samsung Galaxy S7: Android 6.0 Marshmallow
We still have no news of the official name of the next version of Android or its publication date. Lollipop Android 5.1 has just arrived on Nexus devices and is probably still far from the next major update, but the Samsung Galaxy S7 happen within a year and it could be one of the first devices to feature in the next version of Android M, which is assumed for the moment be called Marshmallow Android.
Android 6.0 Marshmallow: is it the name of the next update
The greatest innovation introduced by this update will certainly be its compatibility with other connected devices, including particularly cars and various accessories for the home automation. But we should also find small improvements that make the user experience more intuitive. Think, for example, extreme energy-saving mode integrated with Android services or innovative services that improve the connection to Android Wear.
And you, what do you want to see really innovative in the future Samsung Galaxy S7?
Updated: Samsung Galaxy S7
Samsung also announced that production of its new modules of RAM with 12 GB LPDDR4 technology are ready for mass production. This new technology reduces energy consumption by 20% and is 30% faster compared to the previous 8GB technology.
The new technology also introduce 6GB of RAM on a smartphone. The Korean company also ensures that its next generation of smartphones will offer this feature. The S7 should therefore be the first smartphone to offer 6 GB of RAM. What support multitasking and provide a more efficient system that.
Samsung Galaxy S7: release date and price
The Samsung Galaxy S7 should be formalized, as every year, at the Mobile World Congress in Barcelona next February (22-26 February 2016). The phone should then be launched during the following April.
And you, what do you expect the new Samsung Galaxy S7?
With the official announcements of the next high-end Chinese smartphones such as Honor 7 or Meizu MX5, competition is likely to be at its worst for the industry giants. Here is all the information we have collected about the amazing Xiaomi E5 which is equipped with a Snapdragon omen 820!
The predecessor of Xiaomi E5 was available for sale in August 2014 but does not expect any output for the summer. We look more for fall and some sources provide the E5 for November. Stay tuned.
The E5 should follow the example of its little brother the E4
Xiaomi E5: Price
The brand is known for its aggressive pricing. The E4 was also sold at a price of 1999 yuan or about 300 Dollarss for the 16GB model and 4499 yuan or about 390 Dollars for 64 GB. Yes, you read that right. We badly imagine a very different rate for the E5 and it would be great news.
Xiaomi E5: Specifications
4GB of RAM and a Snapdragon 820 are expected for the E5. Some of you may think that a four processor heart is exceeded but some Benchmarks indicate that the Snapdragon would be more powerful than the Exynos 7420 of Samsung Galaxy S6. A coup for Xiaomi?
Regarding the internal memory of the device, it will most likely with 16 and 64 GB depending on version. This is what provides the OnePlus One currently.
The Mi5 screen will be 5.3 inches diagonally. It's a little more than 5 inches from the E4. The resolution is likely to 2560x1440 pixels or 554 pixels per point. Not bad right?
Another important point is the battery. According to the latest rumors, the E5 will be equipped with a battery of 3030 mAh. This seems given the power of the device, it will take to be sure!
End up the next Xiaomi camera that should incorporate a 16 megapixel sensor instead of the usual 13 megapixels. The front camera should be a resolution of 6 megapixels. We also hope a new larger sensor would allow quality photos in low light conditions.

While the New HTC One M9 Phone has not fully convinced us, especially because of its lack of evolution since the HTC One M8, it remains one of the best current Android smartphones.

The little Sony also has some advantages of size (yes, I dared): it is resistant to water and dust, and has more of a rounded framework to better avoid the blows or falls.
It is fast, its Xperia interface is complete, the user experience is one of the best. Clearly, Sony stands out very well in the competition with this model.
