“April is the best month to buy a smartphone” – Smartphone.nl

April is the best month in 2016 to buy an Android device. According to a study by the American The Verge .

Android smartphones are normally issued throughout the year. This year, however, turns out to appear the best offer in April. There’s even launched a new iPhone. Will this buy the new trend?

Android in April

In April the roughly six months ago, Google released its latest version of the Android operating system. As a result, most manufacturers now so far that they have adapted their software skin on the capabilities of Android 6.0. Google chooses for the launch of Android in October, in order to offer the new iOS version from Apple.

The Verge tells sufficient counterweight that most manufacturers su ‘ n four months need to modify their software to Android. At the Mobile World Congress, major new smartphones are then presented in February, as the G5 LG or Samsung Galaxy S7. To keep alive the hype, there should not be too much time between the presentation and actual launch, making April, the ideal month to start pre-order or purchase.

in addition to the arrival of Android Marshmallow there is a second important factor in April of this year, the month of Android smartphones: the release of the Qualcomm Snapdragon 820 chipset. In March, the Snapdragon 820 already made an impression in the Galaxy S7 (in the United States, the Netherlands, the S7 comes with the Exynos 8 8890), and this will probably be no different in the coming new smartphones.

that most of the smartphones released this year in April, it seems coincidence rather than a preconceived plan, but may well be the trend of the future. We give a small taste of the flagships that can be admired from this month.

Which smartphones are

In early April we met with the LG G5. It looks that this new handset from LG is going to be a big hit in 2016. The G5 is a modular smartphone with Android 6.0, a 5.3 inch always on display and is equipped with a Snapdragon 820 chipset 4GB of RAM. The special feature of the G5 are separate modules that you can buy it. There is the Cam Plus, a camera module that gives you even more opportunities to shoot beautiful photos with the 16 megapixel camera presented on the back.

The new Huawei was early April. Huawei and P9 P9 Plus should be at least as successful as the P8. This Android received a substantial upgrade and includes a Kirin 955 chipset, 3GB / 4GB or 32GB / 64GB of memory and storage space. Furthermore, we find a 3000 mAh battery and a sharp 5.2-inch screen.

Shortly afterwards it was the turn of HTC. The new 5.2-inch HTC 10 should become the device that is going to draw the manufacturer out of the doldrums. HTC has also opted for the new Snapdragon 820 chipset with 4GB of RAM. The flagship 32GB has been given to expandable storage, a 3000 mAh battery and an improved 12 state-pixel camera on the back.

No Android, but a new and popular smartphone appeared in April the iPhone SE . With this relatively small 4 inch smartphone Apple jumps into a hole in the market, which have left open Android manufacturers. The iPhone is equipped with the latest hardware from Apple, but is cheaper than the new iPhone 6S.
