We have gone through one-third of 2017, and we have a lot of great phones released. However, there are still more to come. Let’s take a look at the best expected smartphones for the rest of 2017!

1. Nokia C1

First on this list of best expected smartphones for the rest of 2017 is Nokia C1. Nokia has made a nice comeback, but it still did not introduce a flagship. Nokia 9 is speculated to be one, but Nokia C1 is also promising. Nokia C1 specs are really good, with a Qualcomm Snapdragon 835 SoC under the hood, along with 8GB of RAM. That will be some high-quality performance right there! It also has 3 options for storage: 32/64/128GB ROM.

The phone will also have a 3210mAh battery. Outside, Nokia C1 will sport a 5.0″ display at Full HD resolution. Nokia C1 camera will also be good, as it packs a 12+16MP dual lens rear camera, with triple-LED flash. There will also be a 12MP selfie camera on the front of the phone. Nokia C1 is expected to run on the latest Android 7.1.1 Nougat OS. Nokia C1 price is expected to be about $400 (~RM. 1,739).

2. Samsung Galaxy Note 8

Next on the list of best expected smartphones for the rest of 2017 is Samsung Galaxy Note 8. At its heart will be a SND 835 chipset, alongside 8GB RAM, a combo of powerful performance. Galaxy Note 8 specs will also include 128GB ROM (+up to 256GB), and Android 7.0 Nougat OS. The battery is still unknown. Outside, Note 8 sports a 5.7″ Super AMOLED with 3840 x 2160 resolution. Galaxy Note 8 camera is as followed: a 12MP primary shooter with 9MP image recorder, and an 8MP selfie shooter at the front. Hopefully the Galaxy Note 8 price will be revealed soon!

3. OnePlus 5

OnePlus 5 is the next phone on this list. It houses a SND 835 processor, with Adreno 540 GPU and 8GB RAM for support. That’s quite some power there! OnePlus 5 specs also offer 128/256GB (+up to 256GB) and a 3580mAh battery. There is a 5.5″ optic AMOLED display with 2K resolution outside. OnePlus 5 camera is also very impressive, with a dual 12MP camera on the rear, and an 8MP front shooter. The phone will run on Android 7.1.1 Nougat OS. OnePlus 5 price is expected to be revealed along with its launch.

4. Microsoft Surface Phone

Microsoft also has a phone on this list, the long-anticipated Surface phone. At its core is a SND 835 chipset, and 8GB RAM for support. The phone will surely pack some power with this! The phone will run on Windows 10 Mobile OS, and will likely the Redstone Update version. For now, that is all Microsoft Surface Phone specs we know so far. Same goes for Surface Phone price, as it has not been hinted at yet!

5. Samsung Galaxy X

Rounding off this list of best expected smartphones for 2017 is another Samsung phone, the Galaxy X. It will most likely have a SND 835 SoC underneath, plus 8GB RAM for high-powered performance. It will also be the first bendable phone from Samsung, even the world! Information on Samsung Galaxy X specs are still scarce, and that is all we know so far. Samsung Galaxy X price is expected to be around $650 (~RM. 2,825).
