The most anticipated phones of 2023
From the iPhone 15 to the Samsung Galaxy S23 and many more
2022 was a great year for phones, but the tech industry never sleeps, so we're already looking ahead to 2023's handsets - and many of them are shaping up to be very exciting.
These are phones that in most cases are likely to be great, and at the very least should be interesting, unusual, or innovative.
Samsung Galaxy S23
The Samsung Galaxy S23 and its siblings - including the Galaxy S23 Plus and Galaxy S23 Ultra - are likely to be the most popular Android flagships of 2023, and we're expecting to see them early in the year, probably in February.
Google Pixel 8
The Google Pixel 7 only launched in October 2022, but it and the Pixel 7 Pro were so good that we're already eager to see what Google cooks up for the Pixel 8.
Google Pixel Fold
The Google Pixel Fold is a phone that we've been hearing about for years, and more recently there have been suggestions that it might land in either Q1 2023, or May 2023.
iPhone 15 Ultra
Obviously the entire iPhone 15 line is enormously anticipated, but it's the intriguing talk of an iPhone 15 Ultra that has us the most excited.
Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 5
The Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 5 is set to be Samsung's next foldable flagship, but we're not expecting to see it until August 2023, so there's a while to wait.
Sony Xperia I V
The Sony Xperia I IV was one of the most interesting phones of 2022, thanks among other things to a continuous optical zoom camera. That's a feature you won't find on other brands, and it helped Sony's flagship stand out from the crowd.
Xiaomi 13 Pro
The Xiaomi 13 Pro has actually already been announced, but so far it's only available in China, with a global launch expected in early 2023.
OnePlus 11
The OnePlus 11 will probably land within the first few months of 2023, and leaks suggest it won't be joined by a standalone OnePlus 11 Pro - or rather, the OnePlus 11 will be the OnePlus 11 Pro in all but name.
Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 5
Along with the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 5, we're also looking forward to the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 5, which is likely to be the better seller of the two, thanks to a more palatable price.1
