Nokia Lumia Laser
This is another unannounced handset with not much currently known accept it will be a high-end device, and could just be another version of the popular Lumia 920 but for Verizon after the AT&T exclusivity ends.
Samsung Galaxy S4
The Galaxy S4 is one of the most speculated about handsets at the moment with rumoured specs to include a 4.99-inch Full HD display using Samsung’s own eight core Exynos 5 Octa processor.
Samsung Galaxy Note 3
While the current model has only been available for a short while there have already been rumours that the Note 3 will have a 6.3-inch display, and again using the Exynos 5 Octa processor.
Apple iPhone 5S
The next smartphone from Apple has also been the centre of a number of different rumours that include 128GB of storage and a Full HD display, but it’s not known if it will actually be called the iPhone 5S yet.
Lenovo IdeaPhone K900
This is a handset that has only just come to our attention that has a Full HD 5.5-inch IPS screen in a form factor that only weighs 162grams measuring 6.9mm thick.
Motorola X
Google are rumoured to be working on a handset with Motorola that will supposedly standout from the crowd, and has been tipped to be unveiled at May’s Google I/O event.
Nexus 5
There has been rumours that LG were working on a new Nexus handset, and while we don’t know if there is any truth in this or if it will release this year, but we thought we would add it because many readers are talking about the handset.
Is there any other smartphone that you will be waiting for this year that we have not mentioned?
