6. Microsoft Surface Phone
Although the popularity of Windows in the mobile market is becoming less and less, Windows smartphones are still fairly well-known among users.

The battery for all three will be 4200 mAh.
4. OnePlus 4
The previous OnePlus model enjoyed such incredible success that the manufacturer did not have time to deliver the required number of devices to the market. However, there is a danger that the next model, OnePlus 4, may not live up to high expectations. The premiere of the gadget can be expected at the end of the second quarter of 2017, but so far very little is known about it: the Snapdragon 830 chipset, 8 GB of RAM, Android Nougat OS, a 4000 mAh battery and a screen with a resolution of 2000.

1. Apple iPhone 7S / 7S Plus
And the first place in the top of the most anticipated smartphones of 2017 is occupied by Apple's new mobile device. As expected, it will differ in the same style and technical perfection (complete with unreasonably high price) as the sixth version. So far, little is known about the new iPhone: the new iOS 11, AMOLED screen, Apple A11 processor and dual camera. And, to the chagrin of brand lovers, there will be no 3.5 mm audio port. According to statistics compiled by iNotes4You, sales of iPhone 6s and iPhone 6s Plus amounted to 231 million devices, the model topped the ranking of smartphones in 2016.
