2. Microsoft Surface Pro Tablet | Anticipated Release Date: January 2013

Featuring a Windows 8 operating system, the tablet will come in 64-GB and 128-GB models, with prices expected to range from $900 to $1,200.

This pro version of the Surface is expected to be more powerful and include more software and tablet apps than the recently released Surface RT version, which didn’t even have the Windows Media Player.

Apple’s signature liquid crystal display, known as the Retina, is finally coming to the iPad Mini, with a release expected sometime in 2013. The high-definition display will make reading easier on the small device; buyers of the new iPad Mini have complained about low-grade reading due to grainy text and images. This upgrade allows the Apple device to better compete with dedicated readers, such as the Amazon Kindle.

Samsung will soon upgrade its popular Galaxy phone to the S4 model, set to debut in early 2013. Featuring an oversized 5-inch screen, the smartphone is expected to be super thin due to its use of a high-definition and light-weight OLED display. The keyboard-less phone will have a trio of soft buttons and use the brand-new Android 4.2 Key Lime operating system.

Specifics on the processor and memory haven’t been released; however, tech experts theorize that the Galaxy S4 will at least boast 2GB of RAM and rely on Samsung’s recently launched Exynos 5 dual core processor.

If the rumors are true, Sony plans to roll out a new Android-based phatablet (a cross between a smartphone and a tablet), tentatively dubbed the Odin, in early 2013. Leaked pictures of the phone seem to show an uncluttered wide and thin edge-to-edge display. Tech professionals are expecting the multi-touch phone to feature a 5-inch screen, 2GB of RAM and a Snapdragon S4 processor.
