After Samsung’s debacle with Galaxy Note 7, its exploding phones had quickly became a meme of sorts by December last year, much to their shame. This year, they seem to be determined to repair their reputation with the Galaxy S8. They are also rumored to be releasing the foldable Galaxy X, a.k.a Project Valley, this year.

On the Sony-side of things there are a lot of rumors coming out about the Xperia Z7 and most of them also points to a release this year. BlackBerry has already abandoned their own OS and is going to use the Android OS for their upcoming phone, code named “Mercury”. LG, with their LG G6 and G Flex, HTC with their HTC 11, and Apple’s new iPhone 7 are also expected this year as well.

And as early as April last year, Microsoft is also said to be releasing a new Surface phone slated for a 2017 release. The phone is said to be focusing on security and productivity as they plan to make it into an “alternative to a computer”.
