Google is about to announce and release its replacement for the Nexus 4, the aptly named Nexus 5. There is a full leaked video of the device on YouTube if you are interested. This will have an improved screen, loudspeaker and camera over the Nexus 4. The processor will also be bumped up.

HTC is ready to announce the HTC One Max. This is a 5.9 inch screen phablet based on the HTC One. This phablet is meant to have the same specs as the HTC One including the same camera and processor, along with a fingerprint scanner.

Next up will be Nokia and Microsoft, announcing new phones and tablets. These will hopefully feature the latest version of Windows Phone that allows for 1080p screens and a third column for the live tiles amongst other things.

Sony has launched in its home country the Sony Xperia Z1 F. This is a scaled down version of its superb Z1. Unlike other companies who release a Mini version of the top phone but then cripple the specs, the Z1 F is a true Mini version of the Z1. The only difference is a 4.3 inch 720p screen instead of the 5 inch 1080p screen. It has the same software, processor and 20.7mp camera etc.

So out of the above list, do any take your fancy? And if so why?
