Google planning to sell data plans to people and Xiaomi entering the ‘other than mobile’ markets, there is a heavy bag of surprises to expect this year.Talking about smartphones, we have a wide range of items in our plate.Let it be project Ara or it be a disc shaped mobile from Runcible, lots and heaps of innovation is being put into mobile manufacturing. So be ready to fill your bags.
Just looking at the mere trends of the released smart phones, one can easily assess that makers are concentrating more on cost effective and ‘designalicious’ phones to sell themselves.
MWC 2015 has already showcased the huge potential of the mobiles going to be launched. An Indian customer would surely be interested in pocketing as many of these beauties as he/she can
A notable factor is that,though many newbies are hitting the market but only 4% of the devices are running on android L. Google and its OS users should address this issue asap and increase its OS’s share in the market.Otherwise Android L’s existence could encounter serious problems. Issues & problems apart let us have a look at the juiciest releases gunned this year for us.
Talking about android daddy Google, it hugely disappointed its fans in 2014 with its pocket piercing nexus 6, but this year it unleashes a bonus shark (usually nexus devices’ are code named after a shark). This year lg and huawei both are expected to make a nexus each,while lg’s nexus would be a flagship device, Huawei’s would be a cost effective nexus duly designed for Google’s most faithful developers.
As we know the nexus would be a slightest iteration of LG’s flagship G4,one just cant rule out the tech giant’s sheer talent in innovative product making. So G4 could be a ‘worth wait’ piece, I must say!!
The Samsung,the 2nd largest company in terms of sales has unleashed its new beast in the form of its new galaxy s6, though it competes iphone 6 in terms of design and specifications, I personally feel that only a die hard samsung fan would buy. While note edge had been a revelation, s6 edge has been its below par sequel. A flat back with a curved front screen and a protruding camera.Well lets hope that atleast the future iterations lack these minor teensy bit defects. Samsung is also planning to extend its A,E,Z series for its mid range customers. So we can expect a bit of style and design from those segments for sure.
Having a peep into the 3rd largest company lenovo, its latest acquisition motorola has recently launched launched its moto e 2nd gen. Which is less than a competition for its own release lenovo A6000!! sarcasm & trolling at its peaks..trolling its own company with its device.Moto droid is also being released in India,given its high price, the market for that would be feeble I guess. Moto’s connection with Google may fetch its owners with faster updates. Lenovo on the other hand is cautiously concentrating on low,mid and high end phones. They have recently released a7000 was a huge hit in MWC, its co-release vibe shot and others of this series were also eye catching. Yet to release vibe x3,z3,p1 and p1 pro and the much rumoured vibe max would set lenovo to its peaks, if they click. Going at this rate, Lenovo may sure surpass Samsung as no.2!! and thanks to the additional support from moto!! that would surely help.
Amidst heavy losses and plans to sell its smart phone market, Sony still doesn’t disappoint its bhakt’s in terms of releases. But mwc 2015 has not seen a flagship mobile from sony except the design oriented m4 aqua with omnibalance design!! a release of a flagship in the near future of june or july is likely..let us hope!!but a deeper pinch to our pockets can be expected with the release!! coming to the present, even if it is a much hyped product (z4) and gets released with only minor tweaks in terms of specifications ,we have to accept it as it is from the beloved Sony.
In a group all these giants one often forgets htc!! out of the pack..as it has always been..it continues to be..with its newly released m9 !! though this phone may be similar to other flagships..htc has never given away the innovation!! look at the camera or the ui if you want to confirm this!! 😀 m9+ and htc petra are also due to release in the later part of this year!! updates are not a problem for htc devices since nexus 9 happened!!
Other horses like Gionee, Micromax and other Indian contenders may release one phone a week probably!! through this we atleast get to see more android l devices being brought out from these companies!! let it be rebranding or it be usage of used parts..these firms have been a middle class and student friendly in terms of price points. Lets wish them more luck to grab more market!!
The new entrants like Asus are creating abuzz in the market with their new releases!!the much expected zenfone 2 has already bagged a tad of awards in the ongoing MWC. Getting hold of one of these babies in the flipkart flash sale would be a nightmare. The other version of Zenfone 2 is also a market turner just for its price tag!!a zenfone mini is aslo rumoured!! reliable sources say so!! Then coming to zenfone zoom..no one can compete lumia 1020 in terms of pixels or iphone 6 plus in terms of quality..but if anyone can..this guy does give a rock hard competition for both the mobiles. Priced at 24-25 k this phone is a must buy for camera lovers.
Huawei hits the market with its ascend p8 and the new nexus and many other mid range phones !!with the nexus’s release the company’s kirin processor would also taste some limelight. Other contenders are also gearing up with many promising devices to hit the market, while 4g being the new taboo. One can expect higher variety of models to get released in this year. Last but not least..let us talk about the flagship killers.
Xiaomi is planning the murders of other giants with its ground breaking mi note and mi note pro!! redmi 2 and mi pad aslo gets released here,while one plus one gets promoted to one plus two!!the release day would be like an early diwali in India!!:D i think i dont need to tell you guys about specifications of these phones..simply take a paper and jot down all the top specifications, and iam 200% sure that these companies would deliver a device better than your paper made phones.some flashes like yu yureka would do no harm either !! so just hope for the beast
So, that’s all about the ‘ongoing 2015’ with interesting android devices that are yet to unleash and yet to be uncovered.
The Iphone lovers and windows freaks shall have to wait untill this october to taste their flagship monsters!! while iphone 6s has a mere but a possible happening ,windows phone with its new os is sure to hit the market by the 3rd quarter of this year!! waiting does pay off.
Gigantic specifications such as 4 GB+ rams,retina scans are also being added to the devices this year.!! release dates of the google aras and nexuses and the new technologies like sony glass are yet to be uncovered!! wanna get an earshot about them?? ahh..but that is a lot to give away in a single article right ?? So that’s it for now !
