The big terminals that we still expect in 2016

The first 7 months of 2016 have already passed, so it is a good time to analyze the large terminals that still have to reach the market. So far, Asian brands have been the most active, with news in ZTE, Huawei, Sony or Samsung, but there are still five great models pending, some that are already presented and that are waiting to go on sale and others that will be given to meet at the end of summer.

We are talking about the Samsung Galaxy Note 7, the ZTE Axon 7, we already know them both, and the Huawei Mate 9, the expected iPhone 7 and the Sony Xperia XR, which everything seems to indicate that they will be presented throughout the month of September. If you are looking for a smartphone, you are demanding and are willing to scratch your pocket, pay attention to this analysis. We offer you five alternatives for all tastes but all loaded with high performance.

We already know them, but they are not for sale yet

From Asia, the South Korean Samsung and the Chinese ZTE have already presented their new flagships, however, they have not yet gone on sale, although they are expected very soon in our country. We refer to the Samsung Galaxy Note 7 and the ZTE Axon 7. We are going to remember its main characteristics.

Samsung Galaxy Note 7

A few days ago Samsung unveiled its latest release. This is the Samsung Note 7, with which the Korean company recovers the most famous family of phablets, after moving from the Note 5 to the Note 7 by focusing on its S models. For power, capabilities and extra functions, perhaps we are talking about one of the best terminals on the market.

The main novelties of this new Samsung Galaxy Note 7 are the iris reader, a step forward in privacy, its ability to play HDR content (the first mobile on the market that incorporates this function) or its great protection on the screen with the latest version Gorilla Glass technology, 5 specifically. All this without forgetting the characteristic S-Pen, which brings new and innovative functions such as the creation of funny GIFs or its magnifying glass mode. It will go on sale very soon.

ZTE Axon 7

The ZTE company also presented its new flagship, the ZTE Axon 7, a high-end device in which they have thrown the house out of the window in terms of performance. At first, two versions will coexist, one with 4 GB of RAM and 64 GB of storage, and another with 6 GB of RAM and 128 GB of storage. An atrocity. It brings a screen with 2K resolution and photographic features that will impress you. A rear camera of nothing more and nothing less than 20 megapixels and image stabilizer. But it is that the front comes with 8 megapixels to take some amazing selfies.

All this with a Qualcomm Snapdragon 820 processor, bathed in Android 6.0.1 Marshmallow version. And the battery? Well, an interesting 3140 milliamps / hour, more than enough for a day and a half to normal use and with fast charging technology, with which you can achieve 50 percent autonomy in just 30 minutes of connection to the current.

And after the summer, Sony, Apple and Huawei will bring us news…

Although they are not yet confirmed in their entirety, it seems that the month of September will come with three important news in the framework of telephony, as Sony, Apple and Huawei will present their new flagships to the general public. We are talking about the Sony Xperia XR, the iPhone 7 and the Huawei Mate 9. Although there is not too much confirmed data, we can already anticipate some features that have been leaking in recent weeks.

Sony Xperia XR

The Japanese company, very active in 2016 where they have already released five terminals, still has an ace up its sleeve for after the summer: the new Sony Xperia XR, a device with a 5-inch screen and a maximum resolution of 1080 pixels. Although most of its features are unknown, several rumors point to the camera as one of its strengths, with a dual LED flash system and the possibility of recording 4K videos with both the rear and the front, a feature that does not we see on many mobiles.

Inside, this new Xperia XR would bring an eight-core processor and it is speculated that the RAM memory may be between 3 and 4 GB. All this with the new Android 7.0 Nougat, features that make up a terminal with full guarantees. On the battery we have no news, although it will surely go according to the terminal. Release date? It's not confirmed but it seems that on September 1, coinciding with the celebration of the IFA 2016, the consumer electronics fair held every year in Berlin. It will be then when we report all the news.

iPhone 7

One of the most anticipated launches of the final stretch of 2016. We are talking about the new iPhone 7, which in the absence of official confirmation, could be presented on September 7. We do not know much about this new Apple product, although some rumors point to two models, the standard and the plus, 4.7 and 5.5 inches respectively, with iOS 10, improvements in the battery and news in the camera, where It seems that optical image stabilization could appear for the first time in an iPhone, a feature that we have already seen in other high-end models.

According to some analysts, it is possible that the American company eliminates the mythical Home button, Apple's classic, to increase the usable size of the screen or to reduce the size of the device without subtracting inches. It would be replaced by the 3D Touch. The ID Touch would not disappear but would move to the side of the phone, as it already happens in some Android devices. There are more daring rumors, such as water resistance, which we will try to confirm as soon as possible. Its price? Everything seems to indicate that it will be necessary to scratch -and a lot- the pocket.

Huawei Mate 9

We come to the end of this analysis of the large terminals that remain to break into the smartphone market in 2016, with another ocean liner, the new Huawei Mate 9. So far we know quite little about the new flagship of the Asian company. Even the release date, because although everything pointed to that would take advantage the next IFA to be held in Berlin in September, in recent days have appeared several rumors that the Huawei Mate 9 not see the light until the end of the year. In any case, it seems that it will sport a super 5.9-inch screen and maintain the Full HD resolution.

Regarding the camera, not much data has been made public although everything seems to indicate that it will be dual and manufactured by Leica. It is speculated that they will dare with 20 megapixels but there is nothing firm. Inside we would find a HiSilicon Kirin 960 processor accompanied by a 4 GB RAM memory and all this accompanying the new version of Android, 7.0 Nougat (which has not yet been officially released).
