Cell phones appear and disappear, but it is hard to keep track of the ones that are coming because they don't exist on the market yet. Today, our target is to help you analyze the basic specs, features and guestimated release dates of the five most expected cell phones to launch on the market in the second half 2012. We do this to help be one of the earliest adopters of your next favorite device.
1. Up first, the iPhone 5 is among the most highly-anticipated cell phones these days. Because of the obviousness of this fact, we considered omitting the iPhone from the list, but then our list would not be terribly accurate. This next iteration may upgrade the display to 4 inches, but we doubt that'll occur.
Still, it's a real possibility , and it could be much harder to forecast Apple's moves now that its most influential leader has died. But if it continues in the same vein, the iPhone will often keep the 3.5-inch display, though leaks and rumors suggest the processor and case design will experience major upgrades. We smell some LTE connectivity coming too.
2. Though BlackBerry appears to be a sinking ship, the BlackBerry "London" is RIM's attempt at reviving the dying brand. It should ship with BlackBerry OS 10, which is a big revamp of the BB operating system. We don't know much about this one yet, but RIM asserts we should be expecting strong consumber-based features, for example a singular, fun and useful photo-editing and capturing app.
3. On the other side of the market, Sony's cellphone brand is picking up since it adopted Android as its mobile OS. The Xperia Play 2 is one of those highly-coveted smarpthones, and it should feature similar PSP-like gaming controls as the original Xperia Play. Of course, it's PlayStation authorized, meaning you can purchase PlayStation console games via Sony's digital services to play on your Sony phone or console of preference. This iteration upgrades the processor to a dual-core with a better GPU.
