Finally 2014, the most happening year for smartphone lovers came to an end. This year might be remembered as a milestone for several good or bad reasons and most importantly, this created some apparent reasons for looking forward to the next year. Before we start our discussion on the possible upcoming smartphones of 2015, let's take a look at year 2014.
- Google released their most discussed Android version 5.0 Lollipop this year along with several important additions like 64-bit computing, material interface, improved security and encryption capability. Most probably all the major manufacturers will bring some significant 64-bit smartphone in the market with enhanced features like fingerprint and heart rate sensor and further encryption capability for making them secure than ever.
- Another significant discovery made this year is LPDDR4 RAM memory modules. Samsung has already started selling 2GB and 3GB LPDDR4 RAM modules. While 8GB RAM modules will only be preferred by the power hungry gaming focused smartphones, you'll most probably experience the 4GB modules in their upcoming smartphone Samsung Galaxy project Zero aka Galaxy S6 and Galaxy Note 5.
- The coming year may also experience several smartphones with huge battery capacity and 2K/4K screen will be visible with most of the flagships.
- With bigger and better camera sensors 4K video shooting may also become common and there is a strong chance to experience 4K videos as a common standard.
- With the availability of cheaper 4G smartphones, LTE network might also become a common standard. If the network providers focus on the 4G tariff rates they might also experience a huge number of customer gains as well.
- Dual boot smartphones may become another standard and there are enough chances to experience several flagship smartphones with Android and Windows or any other operating system.
All the above-mentioned points are based on the current technology innovations and we wish we could experience something more exciting and spectacular on the upcoming flagship devices, which may create a sensation in the consumer market with their arrival.
Following are the phones, which may really make our wishes come true:
