It's almost fall, which means tech companies are gearing up to release their
newest smartphones, tablets, and wearable gadgets in time for the holiday
season.
Most manufacturers haven't even unveiled these devices yet, but we already
have a pretty clear idea of what the most popular smartphones and tablets of
2015 will look like.
It's important to keep in mind that these devices haven't been confirmed yet,
so there's a chance that some of the phones and tablets on this list may not
make it to market in 2014.
However, based on numerous rumours and leaks over the past few months,
we feel storngly enough to include them in this list.

However, based on numerous rumours and leaks over the past few months,
we feel storngly enough to include them in this list.
Apple's next smartphone, presumably called the iPhone 6, is probably the most
anticipated gadget of 2014. The phone is expected to come out at the end of
September, and Apple will reportedly unveil it on September 9.
Based on various leaks and rumours, it seems like the iPhone 6 be a noticeable
upgrade from the iPhone 5s. The iPhone 6 will reportedly come with a larger,
sharper 4.7-inch screen and a completely new design that looks similar to the
iPad Air than an iPhone.
It's been widely reported that Apple will unveil two new smartphones this
year – one with a 4.7-inch display and another with a 5.5-inch screen. It's
unclear if they'll both launch at the same time, however. Some reports have
indicated that Apple has run into production issues with the 5.5-inch iPhone,
hinting that it could be released in late 2014 or early 2015.
Samsung is reportedly getting ready to unveil its new Galaxy Note
smartphone in early September. Like the Galaxy Note 3, the Note 4 is
expected to come with a giant 5.7-inch display.
We wouldn't be surprised to see a Galaxy Note 4 that looks like a giant
version of the Galaxy S5, which means it could come with the same dimpled
back and a heart rate monitor. We won't know for sure until Samsung makes
an official announcement, which is expected to happen on September 3.
Google is also reportedly preparing to release a new smartphone this
fall. A report from TKTechNews suggests that it could launch in September,
and that Google may call it the Nexus X rather than using its traditional
numbered naming convention.
Google's new Nexus phone is expected to be more premium than the
company's previous Nexus phones.
It may cost somewhere in the $499.99 (Rs 30,000 approximately)
range (unlocked) compared to the $349 Nexus 5. Naturally, it'll ship with
Android L and is rumoured to feature a 13MP camera, a 2K display, and
a Qualcomm Snapdragon 805 processor.
There is a strong chance that Motorola's next flagship smartphone,
presumably the Moto X+1, will debut in September. The company is
holding an event on September 4, where it's expected to officially take
the wraps off its new phone and a few other gadgets, too. The Moto X+1
is expected to come with a larger, sharper display than
the Moto X, a faster processor, and a dual-flash camera.
In years past, Apple has unveiled its new iPads in October, leading
many to believe that an update to the iPad line is coming this fall, too.
We haven't heard too much about the second-gen iPad Air, but a report
from Korean news source ET News suggests Apple may already be
working on its components.
If the report holds up to be true, we could expect to see a new iPad
with the same design as the first Air, a faster processor than Apple's
current tablet, and a better camera. French blog Nowhereelse.fr also
posted a leaked image that claims to show the ipad Air 2.
Google is also rumoured to be working on a new gadget with HTC,
and many believe this will be Google's new Nexus tablet. From what
we've heard, it sounds like this new device will be a tablet version of
HTC's One smartphone.
Codenamed "Volantis," the tablet is expected to come with a super
sharp display, HTC's aluminium design that's become the staple of
its new smartphones, and Android L right out of the box. There's no
word on when it will come out, but Google has previously unveiled its
new Nexus hardware in the fall.
Apple has been rumoured to be working on its first wearable device
for more than a year, and a report from Re/code suggests it could
finally debut this October. The iWatch is expected to focus on fitness,
and will supposedly be able to track the number of steps you take,
how many calories you've burned, and your heart rate, among other
information.
If Apple does unveil the iWatch in October, we can probably expect
to see it go on sale by the end of the year.
Motorola's Moto 360 is one of the first devices to use Google's
new software for wearables, Android Wear. It made headlines back
in March when Motorola unveiled it thanks to its circular design, which
is unusual for a smartwatch with a touchscreen.
The Moto 360 is water-resistant and supports wireless charging.
There's no word on how much it costs yet, but Motorola is expected
to unveil more details about availability on September 4. Rumours
suggest it will retail for about $250.
Blackberry new square-shaped smartphone is expected to officially
launch in September. Other than its unconventional design, the
keyboard is expected to be one of its key features. The keyboard
comes with touch sensors that allow you to swipe to insert numbers
and characters rather than pressing a key. The phone hasn't even
launched yet, but BlackBerry fans seem to be excited about it.
