Smartphone tech has come a long way. Until a few years ago, all a smartphone needed was a few handy features including a camera; now, its capability has gone through the roof. From keeping track of your fitness to creating presentations on the go, smartphones can do all these and more. Each year, we see novel innovations in smartphone technology. Flagship phones raise the bar higher and higher to have an edge on their competitors. Here are the most innovative smartphone phones anticipated this year.

Motorola Razr
The original RAZR was launched way back in 2004. It sure was one of the most stylish phones of that time. Motorola has revived its iconic foldable phone, but with one significant difference: a foldable screen. A touchscreen like this makes the new Motorola Razr one of the most innovative smartphones right now. Opening up the screen will give access to more space. This means superior gaming, better immersive video experiences, and smooth web surfing. Plus, the smaller screen on the exterior will display all the notifications. So, users can view and interact with messages and notifications without even opening the phone.

Microsoft Surface Duo
While Microsoft could not make a mark as a top smartphone brand, it sure did make it up for this with one of the most innovative models: the Surface Duo. This uniquely designed phone has the Microsoft Surface computing logo, incorporating the glitzy features of interactive whiteboards of the Surface laptops and tablets. This phone has two screens with the capability of rotating in 360 degrees. Although the screens are not foldable, the phone can be used in multiple orientations; it can easily transition between a phone, tablet, and even a small personal computer.

Google Pixel 4a
The Pixel series of smartphones from Google has been one of the trendiest flagships so far. With the Pixel 4a launching in 2020, Google takes it a notch further. This notch-less phone is anticipated to have an ultra-slim bezel. It is expected to have a hole-punch for the front camera, giving the phone its trademark cutting-edge look. Moreover, the phone will supposedly sport a headphone jack as well as an imprint sensor in the rear. It retains the square camera housing in the back, of earlier models. Thus, the new Pixel flagship will deliver on the high success rate of its predecessor, while still bring some new innovation to the table.

iPhone 12
As always, 2020 sees high expectations from Apple. Many are hoping for the company to launch the much-anticipated iPhone 12. The phone is expected to have a boosted performance with the brand new A14 Bionic chipset, which is a next-generation processor when it comes to smartphone tech. Moreover, the new iPhone will probably sport a bigger display of up to 6.7inches. Also, this might be the only phone with a groundbreaking 3D camera. Plus, the phone may support the new high-speed 5G connectivity.
