Here, There is a big list to check which Android phones to release in this year.

Android Phones to Release in 2015

Samsung Galaxy S6  :-

It is obvious that people will keep an eye on big-budget Samsung Galaxy S6. It is most likely going to be good, but it is difficult to see how Samsung plans to reform its approach to flagship smartphones. Galaxy S6 could make or break Samsung's dominance in the high-end market.

LG G Flex 2 :-

The LG G Flex 2 sticks on our watch list, as this handset is expected to be the showcase for LG’s new and flexible display technology.

OnePlus Two :-

OnePlus clearly has not made choices that have satisfied everyone, but the company is bound to have learnt a lot by the time the OnePlus Two rolls around.

Xiaomi Mi5 :-

Xiaomi has been making waves in China and India with its cost-effective brand of smartphones throughout 2014. The Chinese company will be looking forward to make some noise early this year, as it has an unspecified flagship scheduled to launch in January.

Project Ara  :-

Project Ara’s modular design could completely reshape the way we think about smartphone upgrades. The device is still in development. We are edging ever closer to the consumer pilot anticipated to arrive towards the end of 2015.

Nexus 5 :-

There is actually no real information circulating about a refresh or replacement to the existing Nexus 5, but considering the mixed responses to the huge size and price of the Nexus 6 and the roll-out of new 64-bit SoCs next year, there is a small possibility that Google may want to put out an improved 5-inch handset sometime in the next 12 months. It’s clear that Google does not view the Nexus 5 as part of its current line-up.

Change Notification Sounds in your Android Device


Notification sounds can be a lot of fun for us as well as it is a great way to explore android customization. Your device would be announced when you have got an email. It will catch phrase from your favorite movie and snippets of your favorite song, if it can be saved as an audio file on your device, It can be your notification sound. But how to do this? Let me explain.

There are many ways to change your notification sound. Android has built-in tools to handle the setting, or you can install one of many applications.

There is a need to choose a proper sound for your needs.

Change notification sound :-

It is quite easy to change the notification sound. This process is almost similar on all versions of Android out there. Today’s imagery is from a vanilla Android 5.0.1 Lollipop device.


Start from the main settings. 

Find and tap on Sound and notification, It may just say sound.  

Now, Find and tap on Default notification ring tone your device may say Notification Sound. If this option is grayed out on you, it may be blocked when your device is on vibration as well as a silent mode, or priority mode. To get it back just turn your volume back.   

Now, you can choose a sound after tapping and hearing all. 

Tap OK to finish,when you have chosen.

All above steps help you to choose a notification sound from the in-built options. If you want to use  your own audio file, then you need to employ a third party app to continue. 

Using your own media files as a notification sound :-

It would be great to use and customize your own media files as a notification sound. There is a big list of apps, which will help you.  If you are looking forward to take a clip of a music file, you will want to look at some of the ring tone or .mp3 snippet apps like Ringtone Maker.  


Here, ES files Explorer is a preferred file explorer by many. If you have ES File Explorer installed, you will have seen the option to us the app when you tapped on Default notification ring tone above.

ES files Explorer simply activates the file you tap on. However, once you choose the file, it registers as a notification sound and will be available to choose from the default android sound chooser.
