Eagerly waiting for new phones to come out before your next purchase? We take a look at what we know will be coming out in April, and it could be a very good month for releases

These days, phone manufacturers enjoy pushing out several new devices every couple of months, and at times it's hard to keep track of just everything coming out. So to make things easier for you guys, we've dug up (hopefully) all the phones and tablets that are coming out in the next month and listed them for you. If we missed any, feel free to add them to the comments.
