Most of the conversation around smartphones remains centered around flagships, as that is usually where we see the most innovation. What we see on flagships first trickles down to mid-rangers and budget phones in the coming months and years. There’s also an element of desire driving us to high-end flagships, as many of us want to have the best phone in our pockets. Sadly, it should come as no surprise that several highly anticipated flagships are expected to get a price bump when they launch in the near future.
