The Most Anticipated Android Phones of 2017

Last year was a rough year for several cell phone carriers. Whether it be faulty batteries or an unreached quota, 2016 was a lesson in how to improve for the next wave of model releases. This year brings several new mobile devices to the table. Whether it be an updated model or a new concept, several companies are unveiling releases that are highly anticipated by Android fans. If you’re on the lookout for a new phone, or even if you simply want to browse, check out a few of our top picks for the year below.

Samsung Galaxy Note 8

Right now, this brand-new model is under a fair amount of speculation: When will it actually be released? It’s also expected to be massively popular, thanks to those speculating about which features will be included. Increased inspections and insurance on the phone’s operations and batteries mean that the phone will be released sometime in March or April. An enthusiastic fan base has made it clear that they want the Galaxy Note name to live on.

Samsung Galaxy X

A foldable phone is in our near future, with the Galaxy X being released in the middle of 2017. This version will still feature a 4K resolution screen and optimal dual cameras, making VR a definite possibility as a plausible addition to this tech revolution. In addition, this design will be curved, making for a natural feel to compliment a refreshing, yet unfamiliar, physical makeup for

a mobile device. Storage space and memory capacity will also be on point for the holistic Galaxy experience.

LG G6

Set for a February 26th launch date, the new LG will follow a similar pattern of release that the L5 did in 2016. The display will be waterproof and constructed of less synthetic glass and metal, and the rounded corners are an attractive addition to the overall aesthetic. The RAM and other memory features have yet to be announced, but consumers can take solace in the company’s guarantee of an included headphone jack and efficient charging transmissions.

Huawei Mate 9

The new Mate 9 boasts several quality features, including an extra-long battery life with 4000mAh battery. Add a litany of features for a premium, complex camera, and “share” options between devices, and Huawei has one of its most promising models to date.
