Whatever votes the vain talkers-moralizador about the evils of the consumer society and “alien to our scream of capitalism”, a choice from a position of “I pay money, you’ve convinced me to spend it on your product is” worth it. While the fascinated buyers vote ruble/dollar — popular in people, technology is becoming more perfect from year to year.
Remember, for example the Apple iPhone 3GS? He remembered rather a dementia Russian operators (offering smartphone officially when everyone bought it for the “gray” sellers), than a stunning performance… And yet — in 2010, the whole world stood in line for a smartphone with a thickness of 12.3 mm (like the current “twist out” for 3000 rubles), with a display that displays poor piskula of 320×480, a 3 megapixel camera and (a miracle!) more or less intelligible multitasking.
Best smartphones 2015
Today, OCTA-core 5.5-inch tabletop with Full HD display is no surprise. As the battery capacity of 3000 mAh. And even the mobile Internet at a speed of 50 MB/s became commonplace.
And, in principle, with 2015 in consumer goods had become a flagship model with a thickness of 6.4 mm and cell phones with unbreakable/bent/WQHD display. “Cityfone” from parodies of Nokia and Vertu is also mutated in a fancy inexpensive models, sometimes overtaking in the capacity of their “purebred” counterparts.
Smartphone manufacturers themselves are well aware, until then came the progress, therefore, the model 2016 model year just have become something more than just replacing the broken inadvertently phone-skeletal. While brands only depart from the Christmas hibernation and smear plan new products by 2016-mu, we will examine all that we is broadcasting about the upcoming smartphones restless spionera half with desinformation-rascals.
The first 10-core processors will be installed in Zopo
That for Russians a dirty word in dispute, for the Chinese, is a prominent producer of mobile phones, which sells 500 million androidofony a month and somehow the world gets a the latest processors. The pace and laugh at the owners of Zopo phones will soon be with you! We all remember how the first iPhone came to light during the riot of Newspeak and for a while was nicknamed “yamobilko”. And how mangled the word Huawei owners of ADSL modems, it is better not to know.
Zopo Speed 8 — will look something like the first 10-core smartphone
Remember the chip is MediaTek MT6592, which made OCTA-core CPU in cell phones everyday? It was later when it came to smartphones HTC, Lenovo and Fly, and you guess the smartphone which company he appeared for the first time? Strange, but true. Not less surprising that the first 10-core, which will reach the shelves, in all likelihood Chinese will become the flagship Zopo 8 Speed.
Zopo Speed 8
Most of the characteristics of the Chinese kept secret, but already now it is known that the smartphone will boast a fingerprint scanner, 4GB of RAM and 20-megapixel camera.
First there were rumors that the first 10 are in the retail core will become Hong Kong Elephone P9000, but in fact, the smartphone turned out to be the middling about the eight cores of the chip Helio P10 (something like the old Samsung Galaxy A7), the same misinformation was Chinese Oukitel with his mystical K6000 Premium.
Mobile processors at the end of 2015, according to Ferra
From reputable manufacturers desyatiletnij smartphones can note is that Acer, with its Predator 6…. who knows when there will be a series. Showed the phone in September — the audience said “cool!”, and the initiative collapsed.
Not counting the above mentioned companies-the lazy, the smartphones based on desyatiletnego Taiwan processor going to make Sony, LG, HTC, Lenovo, Meizu, ZTE, Huawei and Xiaomi. Huawei is fully transferred to their own Kirin chips, gorodit Samsung Exynos processor for smartphones of all classes and only for Galaxy S7 makes an exception in the form of Snapdragon 820: independence — not only in politics but also in the production of electronics becomes a fashionable and essential topic. And, still, it is strange that MediaTek is introducing the first copies of his chip into questionable from the point of view of the image brands.
The best processors in smartphones over the past three years.
Future innovations
Apple
iPhone 7
Unlike many Chinese (and other) manufacturers who are beginning to feed promises long before something will do, Apple is not too fond of intentional information leaks. Therefore, absolute information about the exterior of the next generation not yet planned — if only because Cupertino not going to release “seven” before the fall, but right now I test just five (!) assorted prototypes of the smartphone. All in the name of the smartphone came out really breakthrough — change the numbers in the name obliges.
The most popular (and therefore believable) rumors are the phrases that Apple will get rid of two flaws that memorable sixth generation — thick frames on the sides of the display and the tacky plastic strips under the antenna on the rear panel.
And rumor has it that after rounded shapes of current models of applause rush to the other extreme and will revive the angular style of the iPhone 5. If the ergonomics will be all right (which is very important, at that the thickness of the bodies), to the army of buyers of iPhones will add fans to purchase a smartphone for a spectacular appearance. Those who since the childhood did not love an oval, much more than it seems at first glance.
One of the possible appearance of Apple iPhone 7
What is expected?
- new Apple A10 processor with the same ideology “few cores, but those that are — high performance”
- display back to back to the side edges and looks beautiful and the size allows you to “cut”
- headphone Jack might throw at all and only leave lightning. Or only USB C
- the fingerprint scanner will try to cram into the display itself, and the “Shrine” (the Home button) will reduce
- basic protection from water — not to vtaplivanija, and from the rain
- 256 GB RAM and 3100 mAh battery in the iPhone 7 Plus

It is possible that in 2016 we will be able to observe how Apple is imitating Samsung’s design
iPhone 7c (6c)
On sales plastic remnant index 5c Apple at the time spoke even less willing than they are now talking about the success of their smart watches in quantitative terms. But the fact that the company isn’t going to repeat their mistakes: the new C-class apparently is not just a cheaper/older version older, and smartphone out of competition — 4-inch new iPhone! Not a 4.6-inch, new Sony Xperia Z5 Compact, and defiantly compact phone in Pico tabletas-the inbetweeners. I wonder what the topic will start acting like marketers Samsung once the pendulum of fashion will swing in the opposite direction?

One possible appearance of the Apple iPhone 7c
What is expected?
- two possible versions of events — or the iPhone 6c in a plastic case in the spring, or 7c in the metal fall
- similar to iPhone 6 toppings, but in a 4 inch casing. However, without a 3D Touch — he still nevpikhuyemy in compact models
- the battery in proportion to “lose weight” up to 1650 mAh
- an unprecedented number of colours: silver, grey, pink, crimson, blue and gold schemes

Review Sony Xperia Z5 Compact
By the way, if you still come out 7c in September, an occasion for joy will be the owners of even “just six” of iPhones — Apple will take into account that the pipeline is less powerful than the flagship model and will carefully monitor the optimization of subsequent versions of iOS.
And then, you know, iPhone 4s fucked such problems with the speed after upgrading to iOS 9 (without the possibility of rollback to the old version, remember) that accused Apple targeted in “strangulation” of the old models and went to sue cupertinos. Android users, which producers in less than a year after the release of the gadget, shamelessly “throw” with the system update from KitKat to Lollipop, look at the tricks of iPhone owners with incomprehension.
Samsung
Galaxy S7, S7 edge and S7 Plus
The sixth generation Samsung Galaxy is on the line 10 months ago, and in the spring the Koreans plan to roll out a new flagship, a new kind tradition in several ways. Whether samsungusa deliberately allowed the media misinformation, whether the Korean manufacturer until recently, did not dare to Fess up to the flagship model range, but the rumors about the starting line of Galaxy S7 went controversial.
Review smartphone Samsung Galaxy S6 edge+
First, there were reports that the former castle (a”flat” S7, S7 edge, edge S7+) will continue in the new generation of smartphones, then it became known that the compact version of the S7 edge was canceled, and, most recently, case makers have issued a new batch of mutually exclusive information. According to the latest figures at the end of February, Samsung will present the Galaxy S7 flat with a 5.1-inch display, S7 edge with a diagonal 5.5 inches and two versions (flat and angled) Galaxy S7 plus.
Last year’s mess with regalia (you tried to say “Samsung galaxy edge six es plus”?), looks like it’s getting worse, but it is already clear that the Koreans are betting on phablets and S6 classic will be the prerogative of fans to save money and anyone who does not like smartphones larger than 5 inches.
One possible appearance of Samsung Galaxy S7 and S7 Plus
What is expected?
- two of the coolest OCTA-core processor at choice — branded Exynos 8890 and “foreign” Snapdragon 820
- scanner iris to unlock the display
- the angular body style of the new A-series (although in comparison with the old renders of the remnant)
- the fate of the Micro SD slot and USB-C is still unknown — or will be, or no (more likely)
- heat pipes for efficient cooling super-fast iron
- the screen that recognizes the effect of depression

Apparently, the new S7 will especially honor the fans of the benchmarks in the processors multi-core load and the second in the world single core performance after dvukhyadernykh Apple A9 from the iPhone 6s will melt the hearts of many geeks. And no rational motivation is not required — because no-one wonders why the city streets are crawling SUVs-“heffalumps” or sports coupe with a much wider than the traffic speed limit.
Perfectionism in the Korean flagship this time will be tasteful bdsm: rumor has it that the first few months after the release of S7 Snapdragon 820 will not appear in any other flagship — Samsung properly “bent” Qualcomm on exclusive after chipmaker obos failed with flagship processor in 2015. it is a Pity that a welcome geeks “real” (not a parody as in Xperia Z5) 4K display in the new flagship probably won’t be, and about the cool updates to the camera make no sound. We’ll see.
Galaxy S6 Mini
Something wonderful from the column “where were you?” — compact version of the Galaxy S6, which rumor since the summer of 2015, again shone in the network. Now on display online store, with the same “the fact” characteristics. Somehow it does not hurt to believe that a month and a half before the release of S7-nd it’s a miracle they manage to get out on sale, but if you have time — the world will have one cool and compact smartphone.
Samsung Galaxy S6 Mini
What is expected?
- 4.6 inch HD-display — at competitors only Xperia Z5 Compact and not yet released iPhone
- shestiyaderny Snapdragon 808 and 2GB of RAM — not painful steep, but still the flagship configuration
- camera as in the “big” Galaxy S6

LG
G5
Even in spite of the strange image “as the Samsung but not Samsung”, LG is alive and well in the mobile market, produces a very good Nexus, the flagship of a bright fancy and a horror at an inflated price in the middle and budgetary class.
Review of the smartphone LG G4
But let’s not dwell on and talk about all the same flagship: last year’s G4 with a leather rear panel in the people why-that did not work out, and residual sales after the sharp decline in the price of the LG manual did not work. Released after V10 it did not deter buyers even experimental second display — sales brutal, metallic and bulky marveled at even the Koreans. And made conclusions that we soon will see in LG G5.
It is not known how exactly will look like LG G5, but the metal case buyers guaranteed
What is expected?
- not want plastic and skin? Get all-metal casing!
- Snapdragon 820 and 3 GB of RAM — any dual core “stumps” as last year
- 8 MP selfie camera and two rear cameras with a viewing angle of 135 degrees (almost like your DVR)
- display with a resolution of 2560×1440 pixels. The diagonal is 5.3 or 5.6 inch, spies confused
- USB-C support pile special branded accessories (amplifiers, flashlights, etc.)

February-March 2016
It is not known how exactly will look like LG G5, but the metal case buyers guaranteed
By the way, no successor will be V10. Rumor has it that it will start even on the company’s processor that LG was preparing to release jointly with Intel. But G Flex — all, third generation model cancelled, so the most common smartphone with a curved body will make the iPhone 6 Plus.
Huawei
P9
When the trees were higher, the grass greener and the native country was wide, it was difficult for her to find anything not marked with the inscription “to them. Lenin.” Do not dare to compare this tendency with branding nameplates in modern electronics, but to affix such a label on nonsense people was shunned, and “marketing significance” of the Soviet label was appropriate.
Review of smartphone Huawei P8
From Huawei that comes from Communist China, “passing the banner” mobile units were branded processors. If in 2015 Chinese engineers were only trying to catch up with the best CPU on the market, at the turn of 2015-2016, they released the chip, comparable in power with the “thoroughbred” Snapdragon 820! And it is not surprising that soon after all of the smartphones went on “upgrading”, including the skinny and the flagship of the company.
Huawei P9 will be similar to both a new Mate 8 phablet…
…and its predecessor — the Huawei P8
What is expected?
- OCTA-core processor Kirin 950 — he’s a purebred Chinese smartphone “tan your hide” eminent competitors
- 5.2-inch AMOLED screen with a resolution of 2560×1440 pixels — like Galaxy S6/S7
- 4 GB RAM (some sources indicate as much as 6 GB) and Android 6.0
- “optiona” modification P9 Max with 6.2-inch display

Nothing concrete about the exterior of the model is still not known, but be prepared for the fact that the smartphone will be a hybrid of image Mate 8 and P8 is old. But we know that the new 7 Honor. So fans of “crisis leaders” can start to save for Honor 7 Plus with a new processor and metal body. And there is a possibility that Huawei will revive premium D-series (only without the prefix Ascend), so its third in the world in sales of Chinese prepared to fight.
Microsoft
Lumia 850
After the release of its flagship 950 series new windownow worth the wait only in the middle and budgetary class. Lumia 850 de jure should be the Vice-flagship, as was the case with last year’s model. It is a pity that CPU power in it “not light”, even with the Windows unpretentiousness to resources of iron.
One of the possible appearance of Microsoft Lumia 850
What is expected?
- 5.7-inch Full HD display
- metal frame around the body (with the “boilers” 808 and Snapdragon 810 flagships to afford failed)
- quality front camera with flash
- cosmedent Snapdragon 617 — middle class, even fresh spills
- thickness at 6.92 mm — the slim windowon

Lumia 650
On the face of a beautiful — scary inside. Microsoft is positioning itself as a Lumia 650 “corporate smartphone” — one that in large offices will be distributed to the employees for their tasks. Frankly, from such a working tool for stuffing like a car pizza guy (damn her, “eql”) and not something really useful. Very sorry — looking handset is very pretty and looks even better than the flagship device for Microsoft.
Microsoft Lumia 650 — an astonishingly stylish smartphone with mediocre features
What is expected?
- Snapdragon 212 — infamous Quad slag on the ancient architecture Cortex-A7 with 1 GB of RAM (!), however, with support for 4G
- metal frame in half from the matte plastic — looks strict and expensive
- 5-inch HD display
- 8 GB on internal storage
- 5 MP selfie camera, 8 MP rear

Microsoft Lumia 650
While there is no information about how much will the new product, but just in case keep in mind that the renamed Fly worth 6500-8000 rubles bypasses Lumia 650 specs, so regardless of the design of this model does not have the right to be expensive.
From alternative smartphones Microsoft windownow you can look at the Acer Liquid Jade flagship Primo or to wait for even more cool HP Falcon on Snapdragon 820 (at an inflated price and with a low prevalence in the market, usually do Hewlett-Packard).
Xiaomi
Mi5
In Russia, the brand Xiaomi is still little known to our countrymen, “Sho pan sho Mozart”, so they have no idea that beneath the outlandish name “Saami” is hidden 3 times bigger brand than the mobile division of Sony and is 4 times larger than a smartphone the ASUS branch. And all because the Chinese have somehow managed to sell feature-rich smartphones with a minimum margin from 2010 and do not “drown” in the local market.
Read the name plate below, but taking into account that all this stuff will cost from $309 (22,5 thousand rubles) to $387 (~28.5 thousand rubles) and you will be inspired by the anger of those who do not give rest growing customs duty on purchase of foreign technology.
What is expected?
- display with a diagonal of 5.2 or 5.5 (and 5.7 according to other sources) inches and a resolution of 2560×1440 pixels
- top-end Snapdragon 820 processor with 4 GB of RAM
- 16 MP rear and 8 MP for front camera

By the way, maybe on the street fans save will be mourning even without the participation of customs service of Russia — Xiaomi will soon be “not the same” and raise the prices of smartphones to comparable to the more popular “Chinese” level.
But there’s always a next lower brand get out of the basement, and soon in the comments to the reviews will appear on Ferra fans, shouting: “brands quite zazhralis! But the “Jinhua-Aniline” offers the same thing 2 times cheaper!”. In General, my friends, tomorrow will be better than yesterday. But if not — we’ll make him.
