Which new phones will outdo the competition? And more importantly, which one will work for you?
THIS COULD easily be a 20-page column. 2017 will see companies that were doing well try to surge further ahead, brands that were coming in from behind put in more aggressive efforts, companies that were dead and buried rise from the ashes and some under threat to die make a last all-out effort to survive. And each of them will do it based on a kick-ass phone that will be born in 2017. Some of these made it to my anticipated gadgets of 2017 column earlier. Even then, it’s impossible for me to list them all, so here are the ones that will be the most interesting.
SAMSUNG NOTE 8
I’m not listing the Galaxy 8 as that’s going to take forward a very successful story. The Note 8 is where most of Samsung’s 2017 story will be written from. It’s where we will see whether Samsung turns into a lion and takes innovation risks with the Note 8 or morphs into a lamb and plays safe! Rumours talk about an AI assistant that makes ‘Hey Google’ look like a joke, a camera that may beat the Nokia Pure View 42 megapixel and a new revolutionary note-taking ability. Rumours also suggest that the battery will have materials in built to make sure the phone can’t burst into flames. I can relate to that!
