CES 2015 is off to a traditionally hot start: the show is open
for the next few days, but the biggest announcements are
happening in the first day when some of the mobile
industry's most powerful executives gather in Las Vegas to
share their plans for the year.
What we care deeply about is one type of devices in
particular: smartphones. Luckily, we have LG, Lenovo,
Samsung, Sony, Asus, and many others showcase new
handsets at the Consumer Electronics Show, so variety and
abundance of novelty is a must.
What's interesting about the announcements this year,
though, is that they are a sign of a bigger change that one
can sense coming over the next few years. The wind of
change is quickly bringing us futuristic technologies and the
flexible screen of the LG G Flex 2 is one brilliant example of
the type of innovation we'll see soon. We're also seeing
affordable devices picking up a lot of the marquee
features of pricier phones. All good things for the
consumer. See all those exciting CES 2015 new smartphone
announcements right below to get a taste of the future.

Lenovo Vibe X2 Pro
Specs | Hands-on
Price: $500
Release date: April 2015
Besides the design of the Lenovo Vibe X2 Pro, the other
noteworthy thing to stand out from our cursory look is its
iridescent 5.3-inch FHD IPS display. Running the latest
VIBE 2.0 user interface, it’s a minimalist experience that
primarily features a personalized lock screen, Instant On
camera, elegant transparent icons, and much more.
Certainly, the interface has a slick new appeal, but it’s still
running on top of Android 4.4 KitKat. Powering this bundle
of joy is an octa-core 1.5GHz 64-bit Qualcomm
Snapdragon 615 processor with 2GB of RAM.

Lenovo P90
Specs | Hands-on
Price: $370
Release date: February 2015
The Lenovo Vibe X2 Pro might be device for the lighthearted
folks who take pride is snapping selfies of themselves, but
the Lenovo P90 is on the complete opposite end of the
spectrum. Rather, it’s the mobile professional’s type of
smartphone, as it’s meant to be one serious workhorse
that’s going to be long-lasting while on the road. In
reaching that, the Lenovo P90 is hoping that its Goliath
sized 4000 mAh battery will be ready to tackle the challenge
that sometimes makes other smartphones fall short in
making them true work horses.

Alcatel PIXI 3 series
Price: N/A
Release date: N/A
The PIXI 3 smartphones will come in 4 different sizes –
3.5”, 4”, 4.5”, and 5”, and all of them will be compatible
with 3 different operating systems to install – Firefox,
Windows Phone, and Android. We're yet to see how this
works out, but this OS neutrality from none other but
Alcatel is an interesting concept. Keep in mind that all of
these upcoming devices are affordable, and not really
power-lifters when it comes to specs.

Nokia 215
Price: $30
Release date: Q1 2015
While it's not a true smartphone (far from it), the Nokia
215 does bring a few smart features that granted it a
place in this list. At a full off-contract price of $29, the
Nokia 215 is a traditional candybar phone with buttons, but
what it stands out with is support for Facebook Messenger
and a truly long-lasting battery. The Nokia 215 comes with
a 2.4” display with a resolution of 240 x 320 pixels (keep in
mind that it’s not a touchscreen). Along with Facebook, you
can also use Twitter and MSN Weather on it, and the 215
also features the Opera Mini browser with Bing search. This
might not seem like much, but you ought to put this in the
context of the cheap price of the phone.
