Last year was amazing and fantastic for smartphones, but 2020 seems to be even better.
There is already a flood of teasers about this year set of incoming heavyweights, including the Apple iPhone 12 and Google Pixel 5, along with a handful of other intriguing-looking handsets.
Here is a look at our most-anticipated phones of the year ahead, including links to extensive previews for many of them. Stay tuned, as we will be updating this list throughout the year as new phones leak and launch.
We repair Samsung, Apple, Oppo, Sony, Huawei, Motorola, Blackberry, HTC, LG, Nokia and other devices. If your phone brand or model is not listed here, do not worry! Just walk in or call us and we will find a solution for you.
1. Samsung Galaxy Note 20
Typically, we would expect the new Note to arrive in August. But that seems unlikely due to the coronavirus pandemic. What is likely is that the Note 20 will build off the Galaxy S20’s key features, from 5G data speeds and a fast 120Hz screen refresh rate to those high-resolution cameras — whenever and however it’s eventually unveiled.
Expected release date: August 2020
2. Samsung Galaxy A series
Samsung is going all-in on budget phones with its new Galaxy A series line up. And when we say “budget,” we mean downright cheap in some cases. The 4G LTE line up this year includes then we have the two 5G phones.
Again, that is some aggressive pricing from Samsung, and over the coming months we will know if they are worth it even at the lowest prices.
Expected release date: Available now through the end of the winter, depending on model.
3. Google Pixel 4A, 4A XL and 5
Last year, Google debuted budget versions of its Pixel phones, the Pixel 3A and 3A XL. The devices turned out to be a success for the company, so we expect follow-ups this spring. Rumours for the Pixel 4A, 4A XL and 5 include the same low starting price for the Pixel 4A (or perhaps even cheaper), a headphone jack and a new front-facing hole-punch camera. And in case there was any doubt, Verizon debunked a previous claim that it is dumping Pixel phones — it won’t, and said it will “continue to work with Google.”
Expected release date: July 2020

4. OnePlus Nord
After months of rumours about a possible new midrange OnePlus phone, the company has launched its “new, more affordable smartphone product line.” The phone will be available in the UK and India, and it will be called the OnePlus Nord.
Release date: 21st July 2020
5. Apple iPhone 12
The upcoming iPhone 12, 12 Pro and 12 Max (Apple has not confirmed the name of the phones, but we’ll go with that for now) face unknown waters ahead — suppliers in China have already shut down or are operating on limited capacity because of the outbreak, which may impact inventory in September when new iPhones are typically launched. Rumours for the devices are all over the place, with some stating the phones will have a radical new design and other leaks suggesting it will likely look similar to the iPhone 11 and 11 Pro. Some models could have 5G, others might not.
Expected release date: Early September 2020
Screen replacement, Back Glass, Water Damage, Battery and Charging Port replacement, Camera, Speaker, Microphone, Home and Volume Buttons, Software and Data Recovery, and Unlocking Services.

6. Sony Xperia Pro
In February, Sony released teasers about the Xperia Pro, a 5G phone aimed at professional video shooters. This could be the phone that knocks Apple’s iPhone off its video-prowess throne. It has the same triple-camera rear setup and Alpha camera. The Pro will also have all features of 5G. The Xperia Pro does not have a price yet but will likely cost more than the Xperia 1
7. LG Velvet
With its raindrop camera, curved screen and vertically stacked cameras, the Velvet marks a new design direction for LG phones. The 5G handset launches in Europe first and will come to countries in North America (including the US), Asia, Latin America, and other regions at a later date.
Expected release date: July 2020
