Phones are an undeniable part of our life. Wanting to keep up with the ever-changing, ever-evolving world of smartphones is a pleasure most of us indulge in. Every year, there are lists upon lists of the most anticipated smartphones of the year. These include some big brands we are all aware of, some not-so-big brands, and even some newer entrants. Here, we share our two cents and the list of smartphones we are excited about.

1. OnePlus 9 and 9 Pro
OnePlus is what Nokia once was for all people—an essential. Feeding on all the customer loyalty, the brand has gained rumors about 9 and 9 Pro, and more information was discovered from the CEO’s Twitter account. The new flagship phones are expected to come with the Qualcomm Snapdragon 888 processor chip. With this chip, users can expect to be treated to superior quality images and viewing experience along with superior graphics.

2. Google Pixel 5a
Google has been a leading name for a long time now. In the more recent past, it moved on from answering our questions to solving our smartphone problems by launching its own. But, that’s not the only reason why Google Pixel 5a is one of the most anticipated smartphones of the year. Thanks to the news circling the rumor mills, we know that 5a might bring some things from its predecessor 4a, namely the camera and the display. However, the OLED phone is expected to come with an HD resolution and is supposedly bigger and better than the 4a. Let’s see where this year takes us.

3. Apple iPhone 13
No one needs to be told how exciting it is to watch the live events when Apple unveils their new devices. Currently, their most awaited innovation is the iPhone 13. It is also one of the most anticipated smartphones of the year. The iPhone 13 is rumored to have touch ID sensors under the display, which, if you think about it, is pretty amazing. It is also said that the newer phone will come with better battery life, phew, portrait mode shooting, and astrophotography, something every nuanced and experienced photographer is sure to admire.

4. Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 3
The idea and innovation of smartphones have evolved over the years. But now that the screens are getting bigger each day, flip phones are being called back into action. One such innovation of Samsung, the Galaxy Fold series, is about to welcome a new entrant in the series. The phone is said to have an under-display camera and Exynos hardware, both of which are things to look forward to. Users can switch the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 3 from mobile to a tab within seconds, enjoy a leisurely viewing experience, tap away on the screen, and get their work done in no time.
