Every month we see a new flagship – it seems as if manufacturers are competing to launch the “best phone of all time”. This year we have already seen some stars, such as the Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra, Xiaomi 15 Ultra and Honor Magic 7 Pro. But the future is no less exciting. If you are currently hesitating about which phone to choose as your next technological companion, you may be tempted by one of the upcoming innovations. So let’s take a look at who is preparing to make a star appearance.
Vivo launched the Vivo S30 Pro Mini on May 29, 2025 – a phone that proves that a small body doesn’t mean compromising on performance. With a 6.31-inch LTPO AMOLED display, 50MP cameras, Dimensity 9300+ processor, and a massive 6500mAh battery, this device is a real technological treat.
Realme has launched two new phone missiles – the GT 7 and GT 7T. Phones with a battery that lasts longer than your fitness enthusiasm and charges faster than an espresso.
With its 6100 mAh battery, 10-core home-grown chip, and 3D Dolby HDR display, the Xiaomi 15S Pro mercilessly shatters boundaries and competition. If Apple or Samsung offered something like this, it would cost more than a vacation to the Maldives.
If you think another mid-ranger phone can't ascend to the throne of smug confidence, think again. British brand Nothing, led by former OnePlus executive Carl Pei, has unveiled its latest trump card at the Google Android Show: the Nothing Phone (3). And it doesn't come cheap.
Sony is back. Again. With a new flagship. The Sony Xperia 1 VII - 2025 is a hybrid that combines three worlds: the photographic world of Alpha cameras, the audio nostalgia of Walkman sound and the prestigious visual experience of BRAVIA TVs. All this is packed into a phone that costs more than a weekend getaway in Venice, but promises an experience like no other smartphone. Is this really a new milestone or just technological boasting with a hefty price tag?
Samsung has created the thinnest flagship ever. A thin phone! But is this aesthetic nirvana hiding a technological nightmare?
The Xiaomi 16 will likely be the first smartphone to feature the new Snapdragon 8 Elite 2 processor, a 6,800mAh battery, 100W fast charging, and a periscope camera – all in a slim body. The device is expected to launch in September 2025 in the Chinese market.
