Report: Sony, Samsung, LG, HTC, Microsoft smartphone release dates leaked
Leaks usually refer to one – maybe two – handsets, but this time we’ve hit the motherlode.
A leaked PowerPoint presentation slide appears to reveal the launch windows for a range of smartphones from different companies.
It’s alleged that the slide comes courtesy of a recent T-Mobile Poland presentation, as reported by XperiaBlog.
While most of the handsets listed on the slide have already launched, a number are devices yet to be formally unveiled.
Here’s the full list:
First Quarter – 2016
- Samsung Galaxy XXX
- Samsung Galaxy XXX
- Samsung Galaxy XXX
- Samsung Galaxy XXX
- Microsoft Lumia XXX
- Microsoft Lumia XXX
- HTC One XX
Second Quarter – 2016
- Sony Xperia XX
- Sony Xperia XX
- LG XXX

It seems likely that some of these launches will be the following handsets:
- Samsung Galaxy S7
- LG G5
- HTC One M10
- Sony Xperia Z6
We’d also expect to see spin-offs like the Galaxy S7 Edge, Plus, and Edge Plus, as well as a number of mid- and low-end devices.
It wouldn’t be a surprise to see these apparent launch dates come to fruition; the first half of every year almost always plays host to a wide-range of flagship smartphones.
Of course, we can’t verify this image, so take this news with a degree of scepticism.
