Summary Smartphone – scouting for the future
With this list of the top 6 best smartphones in 2023, you have quite a collection of mobiles to take a closer look at. They are all very high class, but of course they have slightly different characters and characteristics.
Remember that there is probably no model that fits perfectly for everyone. Therefore, be sure to compare the features you think are most important.
So what do the manufacturers’ plans look like for next year? It’s hard to predict the future, especially when it comes to technology, but a few things can be said. Samsung, which launches new mobiles on an assembly line, will by all accounts continue to launch foldable mobiles. A rumor says that the manufacturer is working on a foldable phone that folds in three places.
Apple is expected to continue with its launches in 2023, 2024 and beyond. That would mean that the iPhone 15 will be released in the fall of 2023 and that the iPhone 16 will be released in the fall of 2024.
Another observation is that more manufacturers are starting to make a bigger impression on the Swedish market for smartphones. Today, Apple and Samsung are unchallenged at the top, but globally there are many more brands.
