Sony Xperia Z3

Sony has always taken its smartphone business seriously, and the same is expected with the upcoming Xperia Z3 handset. While details are few in this regard, we are at least sure that Sony won't be tampering with the overall design of the handset. Also, the handset is expected to feature the latest Android OS out of the box.

Samsung Galaxy Note 4

It's high time Samsung came out with the next iteration of the Note phablet, and the IFA is as good a time as any. With the IFA soon to kick off, all eyes are on Samsung whether the company will indeed showcase the upcoming Samsung Galaxy Note 4 at the event. We are expecting a bigger size, greater camera and a host of new features from the new phablet.

Nokia Lumia 830

Nokia is saif to be planning on unveiling a brand new Lumia at this year's IFA event. Codenamed "Tesla," the new Lumia 830 could eventually end up becoming the highlight handset for Microsoft at its September 4 event. The Lumia 830 is currently expected to be an upper mid-range device, although its selling point will be its 20MP PureView camera.

Lenovo Vibe X2

Lenovo could be launching the brand new Vibe X2 handset running the new Android L at this year's event after the company started sending out lollipop-featuring invites for its September 4 pre-IFA 2014 event. As far as the Vibe X2 itself is concerned, it may not be that big an upgrade from its predecessor.

LG G3 Stylus

LG G3 Stylus

The G3 Stylus is among the many handsets that have been confirmed by LG for the event. Tagged as an "affordable phablet," the LG G3 Stylus is a larger and cheaper version of the G3 handset. However, the Stylus is set to offer an almost-HD (960x540) 5.5-inch IPS display, compared to G3's quad HD panel.

Huawei Ascend Mate 7

Like many others, Huawei is also set to unveil its new Ascend Mate 7 handset at this year's IFA. The phone currently is rumored to have a 6-inch full HD display, an 8-core Kirin 920 processor, a rear-facing fingerprint scanner and a 13-megapixel camera. Huawei's IFA press event is currently scheduled for September 4th.

LG G3 Prime

While we aren't really sure if LG will indeed showcase the G3 Prime at the IFA, but rumors have claimed that the handset will arrive with the same screen and camera as that of the G3. But that's all we currently know in this regard, Maybe LG will indeed show it off. Maybe not.

HTC Desire 820

HTC Desire 820

The new Desire 820 is also expected to make its mark at this year's IFA. And our suspicions on that are even greater after HTC teased its Desire 820 device on China's Weibo network many times last month. The handset is currently set to be the first device to sport Qualcomm's new Snapdragon 615 chipset.

Nokia Lumia 730

This one will primarily a selfie phone. With the likes of Xperia C3 now trying to tap into the entire selfie trend, the Lumia 730 will also look to tap into the same with its own 5MP front snapper offering.

Motorola Moto X+1

Motorola Moto X+1

Motorola's Moto X+1 smarpthone has been leaked several times in the past. And that's actually enough to make us believe that the handset might have a role to play this year. Even if it passes up on the IFA event, we are quite hopeful that we will see the handset this September.
