Huawei’s Mate X is a foldable phone that is supposed to be 5-G enabled. It is similar to Samsung’s Galaxy Fold but, this phone will have a second screen hidden inside the fold. In short, this phone will have a screen in the front, a screen on the back and a large 8-inch screen when you fully unfold it.

7. Samsung Galaxy Fold
Expected Release: June/July
This device looks like a regular phone but, it opens up and converts into a tablet-sized display. Earlier, Samsung was planning to launch this phone on April 26 but, those plans have been put aside for now because the company has to fix the display’s fragility issues. This phone will combine a 4.6 inch Infinity Flex display on the outside with a massive 7.3 inch panel on the inside. Basically, this phone can be used like a regular phone and a tablet which is really cool. According to rumours, this phone will have 6 cameras in total, a built in storage of 512 GB and a 12 GB of RAM to make multi-tasking smoother and easier. The Galaxy Fold is expected to be ₹1,40,000.

8. iPhones
Expected Release: Septemember
The launch of three new iPhones were announced a few months ago. These handsets are expected to continue with the dual-lens camera setup and probably ditch 3D Touch to keep the pricing low. Latest rumours suggest that Apple will probably include a trio of cameras on the back, on at least the XS Max successor. Apple could also use advanced 3D cameras from Sony in order to enable sophisticated room scanning capability, gesture controls in games and more. We don’t know about it’s pricing yet.

9. Moto Razr
Expected Release: Sometime in 2019
Motorola plans on bringing back the Razr series but, this time they are working on a foldable phone which should be released sometime this year. The company hasn’t revealed much but this phone reportedly folds vertically and features two displays.

According to rumours, this device will feature a Snapdragon 710 chipset, 6 GB of RAM and a powerful battery. It is expected to cost around ₹1,05,525 but, nothing can be said for sure until its official release.
