The Phones in the Crystal Ball

This is a look into the future. More particularly, the not too distant future of flagship smartphones. Over the course of mobile phone history, high-end features have usually made their debut on flagships; flagships of the major players like HTC and Samsung. The LG Optimus 2X was the first phone with a dual-core processor. The Samsung Galaxy S2 was the first phone to ship with 1GB of RAM. The first phone to ship with a screen larger than 4 inches was the HTC HD2 with its 4.3 inch screen, unless you choose to call the Dell Streak a phone. The first phone with a 720p screen resolution (1280 x 720) was the Samsung Galaxy Nexus, unless you also choose to regard the Samsung Galaxy Note as a phone.
