The Best smartphones to be released in 2014!

yay!! sweet news to mobile upgraders  this year ;)
Mobiles are going bigger,better,bendier and more powerful this year:)

1.Samsung Galaxy S5 :

One of the most  expected handsets this year.This smartphone is likely to have a 5.2-inch model with a wrap round display packing a higher resolution,a more premium finish and the processing power seen in Galaxy Note 3.
There have been chances we'll see it in the mid of  February at the Mobile world Congress event  with availability possibly in March or April.





2.Sony Xperia Z1 Compact:

Bucking the trend to go bigger, this takes all the power from the 5-inch flagship handset and supress it all into a 4.3-inch footprint. Except from the display resolution dropping from 1080p to 720p, cramming all the same spec including its waterproof ability in a smaller phone is great victory. Release date has been confirmed for February.




3.LG G Flex:

This phone bends. Really. Well, a gentle flex at least. This 6-inch phone with a curved profile is intended to embrace the face as you make a call and also has a self-healing casing that will deal with scratches when exposed to sunlight. It doesn't come with a Full HD display but the screen rocks OLED technology that produces luxurious colour.
It's been available in its home of Korea for the past couple of months and it's now beginning a rollout elsewhere. Availability in Australia is still unknown but key markets in Asia are already selling it.

4.HTC One 2014 (M8):

HTC stole hearts with thedazzling metal-clad construction of its current flagship, One. The update to this handset is likely to be seen in February and will strengthen with a 2.3Ghz processor, the latest Android operating system (KitKat) and building upon a winning design. We hope the current 4-megapixel rear camera gets an update too.


5.Nokia Lumia 1820:

If you're an great fan of Windows Phone mobiles then look no further than Nokia's Lumia range. These wonderfully-designed handsets are real challengers - particularly hardware-wise.
The 1820 is rumoured to be replacing the current 1020 flagship and could be all about the camera by offering Lytro technology that lets users change the focus of shots after they've been taken.
Chances of seeing an announcement in February could be slim, but not impossible.


6.Apple iPhone 6:

Ah, yes. How could we forget!! The competition for best smartphone has never been closer and we feel Apple could be gearing up for a complete redesign of the iPhone. We expect big things. Literally.
The iPhone 6 is heavily conjectured to sport a larger screen, perhaps in the 4.5 to 5-inch range, as well as a jump up in resolution with a Retina+ display. It is anticipated to be slim down on the outside, be built from tougher materials such as liquid metal and sapphire glass. Inside, it could ramp up the power by using the same A7 processor as the iPad Air.
It camera could be revised with some new technology to help bridge the gap from mobile snapper to more professional use.
The iPhone 6 release date might be September, but there have been whispered gabfest that we might see a May announcement.
Hearsay everywhere but not a drop of evidence to officially confirm it!!
