Samsung has confirmed that it will launch a foldable smartphone which is allegedly called the Galaxy F. The foldable phone along with the Galaxy S10 lineup is set to launch at the Galaxy Unpacked 2019 event which is scheduled for 20 February. A patent granted to Samsung suggests that except for the Galaxy F, the company is also working on a gaming oriented foldable phone.
Rise Of Gaming Phones
The mobile gaming sector is rapidly gaining pace. Gaming smartphones like Xiaomi Black Shark and Nubia Red Magic have proved a market for gaming-focused smartphones exist. Samsung is a competitive company and it apparently wants to get in on the booming industry. Being a leader in the field of technology, Samsung wants to take the gaming smartphones a step further and the freshly granted patent supports the same.
Patent Revelations
Samsung filed a patent for an unusual foldable smartphone with USPTO (United States Patent and Trademark Office) in late 2017 which it was granted on 29 January 2019. The patent exhibits that the company is developing a futuristic gaming smartphone with flexible display and physical gaming buttons. 
Surprisingly the gaming phone has a completely different type of folding mechanism. Unlike the Galaxy F, it has an outward folding display which indicates that Samsung is not limiting itself with one type of flexible phone. Notably, the phone also has a foldable gaming bar which consists of a four-way direction pad and six circular buttons which are aligned in two separate rows with three buttons each. The conceptualisation of the device is very intriguing as such controls would open a whole new world of mobile gaming possibilities.

Unfortunately, Samsung has not confirmed the existence of such a smartphone. Therefore, predicting the launch date of the device is not possible. However, more information about the device is expected to be available in the near future.
The Xperia XZ4 will the first in the series of premium Xperia smartphones. Sources say that the model will have 3 different camera sensors mounted on the back. Not a lot of details are out yet, but the camera is definitely going to be the defining factor of the Xperia XZ4. The rear image of the device was leaked with the same name.

It’s just a matter of time before the Sony Xperia XZ4 is announced, probably at the MWC 2019. Sony’s success rate dropped a bit with its last smartphone range, but hopefully they’ll make it back to the top with a smartphone release like this. Besides, Sony smartphones set standards for some of the best cameras all around. We all hope the legacy continues. 
The Samsung Galaxy M30 will be comparatively slimmer than the Galaxy M20. At 8.4 inches of thickness, it isn’t going to be the slimmest phone around. Hopefully, it will be still sleek enough to implant an impression. Sporting the same waterdrop notch as the other two models, the Galaxy M30 is expected to look like a premium smartphone. 
The Samsung Galaxy M30 is rumoured to have a 6.38 inch IPS LCD screen, with a high screen-to-body ratio. The resolution of the screen may be 2280 x 1080 px, but we can say nothing for sure as there have been some rumors of Samsung using Amoled panels for the M30.
Though we have not confirmed the specs yet, the Samsung Galaxy M30 will run on the Samsung Exynos chipset, and will boast an octa-core processor. By the time the Samsung Galaxy M30 will be released, it will probably run Android 9.0 out-of-the-box. 
The Galaxy M30 may be rolled out in two variants, a 4GB RAM version and a 6GB one, both with different storage options. MicroSD support will be present, of course, with expandable memory up to 512 GB. 
The primary camera of the Galaxy M30 will support 2K video recording, according to rumours. We are yet to see the features that Samsung will bring to the camera, the front camera is most likely to be a 16 MP camera with HDR support. 
We believe the Samsung Galaxy M30 will pack a non-removable 5000 mAh Li-Po battery with fast-charging support. It will have a Type-C 1.0 reversible connector, with a rear-mounted fingerprint sensor, just like the Galaxy M20.

When it comes to design, it’s the most astute reason why a smartphone sells these days. Making a style statement is not just an option these days, its a necessity. That’s why all three of these phones have an extremely eye-catching design that stands out.
Talking about the back panels, the Samsung Galaxy M20 has a plastic back, which actually gives a premium look. Similarly, the ASUS device has a laminated glossy plastic back. It looks good, but picks up smudges pretty easily. The Redmi Note 6 Pro is the only smartphone here which brings a metal back panel to the game. It has a smooth matte finish, making it a bit slippery, but good to hold and look at the same time.
The Zenfone Max Pro M2 has an 6. 2 inch IPS LCD, and a 82 percent screen-to-body ratio. With a slightly lower resolution at 2280 x 1080 px and 19:9 ratio, it matches the specs of the Redmi Note 6 Pro. The Galaxy M20, being the latest phone in the category, shows worthwhile improvements when it comes to display.
Starting with the Samsung Galaxy M20, it packs an Exynos 7904 Octa chipset (14nm). Both the Zenfone and the Redmi devices, on the other hand, run on the Snapdragon SoC. The Zenfone Max Pro M2 has a Snapdragon 660 chipset, which houses an Octa-core CPU (4×2.2 GHz Kryo 260 & 4×1.8 GHz Kryo 260).
The Redmi Note 6 Pro runs on a slightly older Snapdragon 636 SoC, with an Octa-core 1.8 GHz Kryo 260. While the Zenfone and the Redmi have Adreno GPUs, the Galaxy M20 has a Mali-G71 MP2 GPU. 
All three smartphones are available in both 3 GB and 4 GB RAM variants, providing 32 GB and 64 GB internal storage variants respectively. The Zenfone Max Pro M2 is also available in a 3rd variant with 6GB RAM and 64 GB storage, which is saying something.
While the Redmi Note 6 Pro supports expandable storage up to 256 GB, both the M20 and Zenfone support microSD cards upto 512 GB. It’s interesting to note that the Zenfone and the Galaxy M20 both use dedicated memory card slots. The Redmi Note 6 Pro uses the slot for the SIM 2, so that’s something to point out here.
The Zenfone Max Pro M2 has a 12 MP (f/1.8) primary camera, along with a secondary 5 MP (f/2.2) camera, again with a depth sensor. In terms of the front camera, it has a 13 MP (f/2.0) front camera, which supports HDR and even has a LED flash. The best part about the Zenfone’s camera is the fact that it supports 2K recording, and 1080p recording at 60fps. 
The Redmi Note 6 Pro sports a 12 MP (f/1.9) dual pixel primary camera, with a secondary 5 MP (f/.2.2) camera with a depth sensor. It has an amazing 20 MP (f/2.0) front camera with a secondary 2 MP front camera (with a depth sensor). It also supports recording at 1080p (30fps). 
All the devices have standard connectivity options, with the exception of an infrared port on the Redmi Note 6 Pro, which makes the device MI Remote compatible. The only device among these three which supports Type-C connectivity is the Galaxy M20, so that’s an added bonus. All three smartphones have rear-mounted fingerprint sensors.
The Samsung Galaxy M20 is available in two colours, Ocean Blue and Charcoal Black. Similarly, the Zenfone is also available in two colours, namely Blue and Titanium. The Redmi 6 Pro offers 4 different colour options. It’s available in Black, Blue, Rose Gold and Red. 
Earlier this year, Xiaomi released the Redmi Note 7 with specs to kill for. A 48 MP camera with a Samsung ISOCELL sensor, 6 GB RAM, Snapdragon 660, It had everything that a smartphone connoisseur could desire. Needless to say, the device stirred up a lot of hype, with almost 100,000 units selling out in less than 11 minutes, as claimed by the Chinese electronics giant. Rumours are in the air that a newer edition of the same phone is on its way.
The device, which will be called the Redmi Note 7 Pro, is expected to launch with a Sony IMX586 sensor. And today, the company CEO dropped another hint online. When Lu Weibing was asking Redmi’s fans questions regarding their expectations from the Redmi Note 7 Pro, one fan had a rather far-fetched suggestion. “Drop the version with 3GB RAM and 32 GB Internal storage, and just release the 6GB+64GB or 6GB+128GB one.” This sounded like quite a big speculation. But the same reply was later reposted by the Xiaomi CEO, Lei Jun. This suggests that Redmi is actually looking towards such a variant on the Redmi Note 7 Pro.
If we put together the rumours, the Redmi Note 7 Pro will probably resemble the Note 7 in a variety of ways. It is expected to retain the same 6.4 inch screen with a similar notch. It will have the same 4000 mAh battery with Quick Charge 4. One of the more exciting things to look forward to is the introduction of a Snapdragon 675 instead of the Snapdragon 660. If this happens, the Redmi Note 7 Pro will be the cheapest phone in the segment to provide this chipset.

The device is available in two variants. There is a 2GB RAM version, which gets 16 GB internal storage. Then, there is a 3GB RAM version which is coupled with 32 GB of internal memory.

The Samsung Galaxy M10 has a dual camera setup at its back. It has a main 13 MP (F1.9) camera and an ultra-wide secondary 5 MP (F2.2) camera. The device can record videos at 1080p (30 fps). Also, the device has a 5MP (F2.0) front selfie camera, placed on top of the notch. 
The Samsung Galaxy M10 is packed with a 3400 mAh Li-ion battery. The Samsung Exynos 7870 promises better power management, so the device battery should be just fine for carrying out a day’s tasks. The device, however, does not support fast charging.
