This year’s smartphone crop wasn’t the most exciting. Iterative releases, paired with steep price increases, made it much easier to keep your money in your wallet. As an enthusiast (and someone with column inches to fill), it’s been difficult to watch. Foldables provided a breath of fresh air, but I can’t help wondering whether better devices are on the horizon.
Thankfully, the roadmap for the next few months gives us a bit more to look forward to. I can see myself getting excited about several upcoming devices, including from some names you wouldn’t expect.
