2. HUAWEI MATE X
Unveiled at MWC 2019 , the Huawei packs a different punch in looks and design .Unlike the GALAXY FOLD the screen wraps around the outside , rather than being hidden , which makes it more elegant and sleek.

With 5G connectivity, it seems to be the leader in this fight. When open the phone resembles like a tablet with 8 inch screens wide open, when snapped shut it has screens front and rear, with a grip for holding the camera technology. It packs some premium specs (including the Kirin 980 processor) and goes higher than the fold in terms of price , Huawei says it will be 2,299, better start saving.

3. OPPO FOLDABLE PHONE- WISH NOT TO BE BEHIND
Oppo for now has a prototype more of the HUAWEI MATE X, and simply is there to make some noise in the foldable phone segment and wish to be at par with the rest. With the design language it resembles to be in forefront in 5G connectivity with the most advanced and suited apps and tech.

We will be eagerly waiting for further disclosure in the same but for now oppo clearly wants us to be aware that they are coming like others and making it big.
4. MOTOROLA RAZR 2019
Motorola is making it so true and living up to the noise and the statement that was made from the CEO particularly regarding the design of the new age foldable phones and the numerous possibilities that can be achieved with the current technological advancements. It is confirmed that Motorola is bringing the iconic Motorola Razr branding, a flip phone with foldable screen full inside when you open it.

Motorola has filed patient for a dual-screen foldable phone,that can be flipped out as tablet with two cameras and has hinges at the top, bottom and center. A 7 inch screen has been raised for the iconic Razr like looks of the foldable phone.
5. LG BENDI
LG has been in the forefront of technological advancements and up gradations in its product and has been a pioneer in new age innovations. And has never been left in grapping any potential sector may it be chemical to electronics, it has been a leader and so will be the same here as well.
After LG filing patents back in January, related to “mobile phone screen that can be folded in half “it seems that LG is the one to supply screen technology to the others in the race and has already achieved its milestone.

As a result they have not yet showcased any mobile phone for now but it seems that they are the one’s to share their patents with the rest of the brands.
Basing on the names used in filing patents the new LG phone will feature with two screens rather than its close pier SAMSUNG using three. One of the screens making use of the transparent section or with a camera in the back plate as the names used were FLEX, FOLDI and DUPLEX. For prices and release dates are concerned LG wishes to stay calm and only come public once the device is ready, however do expect it to be expensive more than others.

LG V50 ThinQ
For now what we have got is the dual screen accessory phone called LG V ThinQ , can be clipped to add on another screen for video streaming etc .
Its worth to wait as it looks like a foldable phone but it isn’t one. It also doubles in case if you wish to snap shut. Later this year probably this will go on the shelves and at an affordable price before the foldable phone make their arrival.


6. XIAOMI MIX FLEX
The recently unfolded foldable phone in the business by the Chinese giant is the Xiaomi MIX Flex, shown on camera by the president and the co-founder LIN BIN.
The design is stunning and surprising for the new age and a glimpse of what advancements have been made. The device was initially portrayed as a tablet and later both the sides were folded at two distinct points , only the middle remaining for display.
This is the most unique design so far and yes the brand has an edge compared to others in the current race so far.

In a message accompanying the video Lin Bin wrote that:
"Xiaomi double folding mobile phone is coming! This symmetrical double-folding phone perfectly encompasses the experience of the tablet and mobile phone, which is both practical and wonderful.
