The Most Anticipated Phones of 2021

Each year sees plenty of new releases, some more highly anticipated than others. 2021 is no different – this year we have already seen a breadth of fun and exciting new phones released onto the market. Including the Samsung Galaxy S21, S21 Plus and S21 Ultra. And it is not stopping there – we are still expecting to see some more big releases from the likes of Samsung, Sony, Xiaomi, Nokia, and OnePlus just to name a few.

Of course, we can’t discuss the most anticipated phone releases of the year without mentioning Apple’s eagerly awaited announcement on the next iPhone – but aside from that we have some other rumoured releases that we think are quite exciting as well.

1. The New iPhone

Each year, the Apple iPhone release tends to be the most highly anticipated – and this year is no different. As always, we’re all expecting this release in September and the rumour mill is already churning as to what we might expect from Apple this time around.

Whilst nothing is confirmed, it has been reported by sites such as TechRadar, that the new iPhone won’t differ too much in design from its predecessor – the iPhone 12. However, we’re sure there will be plenty of new, exciting upgrades to the current specification and we’re looking forward to finding out more. Like the ones before it, rumours say that there will be plenty of options when it comes to the variants of the handsets – such as the “mini” and “Pro” versions.

1. The New Samsung Galaxy Z Fold Range

At Fonehouse, we can appreciate something a little bit weird but wonderful. And, that is exactly what we’re expecting from the New Samsung Galaxy Fold Handset. Following on from the release of the Z Fold 2 in 2020, this new release from Samsung is going to continue building on the relatively new success of the foldable phone.

Still in their early days, foldable phones have a way to go – so over the next few years we would expect improvements in things such as durability, size, and weight to ensure these phones get lighter and thinner as they develop.

1. Huawei P50

Always the innovators, Huawei’s latest release is expected to top their last in terms of design and specification. Things that are rumoured to be improved in Huawei P50 are the camera and hardware. We’re expecting big things from the camera in this phone – with Huawei consistently topping the market when it comes to camera quality.

The only downfall might be the software – Huawei currently do not have access to Google apps or the Google Play Store, which can hamper the experience in terms of software. However, more than likely Huawei developed Apps will run through “Huawei Petal Search” from Launch.  We are hopeful that this will change in time, however, so we are excited to see this next release from Huawei – and, it will be sooner than you think with the Chinese launch set for the end of July.

1. The New Samsung Galaxy Fan Edition Range

The first of the FE series was launched by Samsung in 2020 and means ‘fan edition’. This range of the Samsung Galaxy is therefore supposed to encompass everything that the Galaxy S fans want and love about their phones – but at a reasonable price and Samsung has not included all the more ‘premium’ features of the mainstream Galaxy S series.

Back for 2021 with the second in the series, the new version of the FE is expected to launch in August alongside other new products. It is expected to take some influence in terms of design from the Galaxy S21, but with some slight difference in appearance. It will be pretty similar in terms of specification but do expect it to cost a little less than the S21, as with its predecessor.

1. OnePlus 9T

Following the release of the OnePlus 9, we are expecting a further release from the company this year – the OnePlus 9T. Rather than a completely new phone – we are expecting the 9T to be an upgraded version of its predecessor.

There isn’t much known about this phone yet – but we are hoping to see this release later in the year towards the autumn/winter.

We hope you are as excited about these new releases as we are, whilst we only know rumours at this stage – there are definitely rumours to get excited about. And if you really can’t wait, you can take a look at our current deals.
