Last year was considerd as a breakthrough year in the world of smartphones. So many handsets were launched throughout 2014. Apple, Samsung, Xiaomi and several other manufacturers launched great handsets.
This year, though, we're yet to see any new devices to be launched. However, rumors suggest that we might get to see the arrival of some low-end handsets from the likes of Lenovo, Acer and Xiaomi.
Lenovo is reportedly planning to unveil a 4G LTE-enabled handset at the upcoming CES next week. Similarly, Acer is expected to unveil a slew of budget LTE handsets. Last but not the least, Asus is believed to launch a new range of Zenfone smartphones.
