6. HTC One M10

HTC will certainly launch a new flagship this year, but the name ‘HTC One M10’ is yet to be confirmed. Anyway, the upcoming flagship from HTC will upgrade all the features that the company missed, or weren’t up to the mark, in the last iteration. It will sport a better performing camera, better battery life, waterproofing and will most certainly include a fingerprint scanner.

7. Google Nexus 6 2016

While it’s too early to talk about the next Nexus device, since the last one was released just a couple of months ago, but we already have a piece of information about the device. The Nexus 6 2016 (or whatever they decide to call it) will be more of an incremental upgrade, and we’re less likely to see any new feature to make us go wow. An upgraded processor, screen, and a new software is what we’re going to see in this year’s Nexus phone. And yes, the device will again be manufactured by Huawei.

Motorola devices always have provided great value for the price they are offered at, and this year’s flagship is all set to be a lot better. According to some leaked images, the Moto X 2016 will feature an all metal design, but will retain the familiar look of Motorola devices. As confirmed the company officials, the new device will finally feature a fingerprint scanner, besides a set of overwhelming specifications.
