CouponCause on New Smartphones for 2017

June 12, 2017 by Eric White

2017 is already shaping up to be a great year for new smartphone technology and design and we haven't even gotten to the hottest part of the year yet! Already this year, we've seen exciting releases from both HTC and LG. Newcomer Google will look to take their successful first attempt a step further in 2017. And of course, Apple and Samsung both have exciting new smartphones in 2017. 

Here are the 5 best new smartphones for 2017 that we here at CouponCause are most excited for (or are already playing with)!

• Apple iPhone 8 and 8 Plus: It's a monumental year for the iconic Apple iPhone and expectations for the device couldn't be higher. It has unbelievably been a full 10 years since the first iPhone was released back in 2007, changing forever the world and how it accesses information. Current rumors afloat on the internet include a bezel-free design, meaning the entire front of the phone is part of the screen. We also expect to see facial recognition, an updated waterproof design and wireless charging in this new smartphone for 2017. If you are an Apple fanboy and haven't updated your iPhone in a while, this 10th anniversary edition is calling your name! 

• Samsung Galaxy S8 and Note 8: Samsung certainly has something to prove with their update to their plus size flagship smartphone after a rough release for the Note 7 last year, which will go down as literally the most explosive smartphone to date. The S8 has already released this year and while being a mostly solid smartphone, users have complained about the rear-placed fingerprint sensor which inevitably leads to camera smears and ugly pictures. The S8 features a bezel-free, curved screen design, wireless charging, improved water resistance and an external memory card slot. The Note 8 will be larger and more powerful than it's predecessor and hopefully less explosive. It may include a curved, bezel-free display. The Samsung Galaxy S8 has been out since April and ships from Samsung for $724.99 and the Note 8 will likely be released in August.
• Google Pixel 2 and Pixel XL2: Google successfully jumped into the smartphone market in 2016 with the well-received Google Pixel, complete with unlimited cloud storage. The updated Google Pixel will likely take Google down the same path as it's competitors: more screen and less bezel and increased focus on camera specs. Details on the new Google Pixel 2 and Pixel XL2 have been tight, with few leaks making it to the press so far. But with the rest of the summer until this smartphone's expected August-September release, there's plenty of time for sneak peaks to surface! Best Buy promo codes are available to help you get the best bang for your back when the Google Pixel 2 and Pixel XL2 release later in 2017. 

• LG G6: The LG G6 has already taken favor with tech nerds and casual users alike since it's release back in March of this year. The G6 has proven to be a well-designed and powerful direct competitor to the Samsung S8. Some have even called it the cheaper, equally capable version of Samsung's popular smartphone. This new smartphone for 2017 features many of the newest trends in smartphone design including wireless charging, a thin bezel and larger screen and an external microSD memory card slot. Unlike the LG G5, the G6 does not have a removable battery. You can buy the LG G6 at Amazon for $548.

• HTC U11: The brightly colored and vibrant HTC U11 has brought HTC back into the conversation of big players in the smartphone market. Featuring a glossy, colored rear finish and an overall sleek design, the U11 is undeniably a great looking phone. The HTC U11 features impressive all-day battery life and large improvements on audio quality straight from the phone. The U11 also features a new technology called Edge Sense that lets users simply squeeze the sides of the phone to navigate the phone and bring up designated apps. You can currently buy the HTC U11 for $649. Use our electronics coupons to help find savings on your purchase of a new smartphone in 2017.
