The first month of the new year has already passed. Usually, brands don’t release smartphones this early each year. The number of releases from brands increases as the months passes with the highest concentration being at the end of each year. Still, some exciting smartphones - ranging from budget to flagship level - are coming to the Bangladeshi market in February 2023. Let's find out what will they offer.  Best Smartphones Releasing in February 2023  Honor X5  Honor X5 has been officially announced on 24th January with an expected release in the second week of February. Ever since Honor shifted away from Huawei’s shadow, the company has been growing and expanding its budget lineup. The X5 is a testament to that.  The Honor X5 is an entry-level device with a 6.5-inch TFT panel, a Mediatek Helio G25 processor, and a PowerVR GPU. The device is completely entry-level in the sense that it comes with just 2GB of RAM and 32 GB ROM with external storage extension options.  The display resolution is limited to just 720 by 1600 Pixels. This is not a gaming phone in any way but rather something that will serve as a casual daily driver.  Read More: OnePlus 11 Review: Speed and Performance at the Core Tecno Spark Go 2023  We rarely see brands including year names with their devices.

The Spark Go 2023 was announced in mid-January with availability in the first week of February. The device features a Mediatek Helio A22 processor with either 3 or 4 GB RAM configuration. The onboard memory options are either 32 or 64 GB. There is a 6.56-inch HD+ IPS LCD panel which should be great for media consumption. The device also comes with a dual-camera setup. Though the 13 MP main shooter would be doing much of the heavy lifting. The front features a 5 MP generic shooter.  Read More: Top features of Infinix Note 12 Pro Nokia C12 The revival of Nokia by HMD Global was nothing short of a phoenix rising.
