Another Decade Of Technology
Before 2019 ended, we were given a glimpse on new and more high tech things that were on the works for 2020. Some example of these include: folding phones such as the Samsung Galaxy Fold which isn’t perfect just yet but we should expect this to be improved over time; 5G compatible chipsets both on Android and Apple, and a possible operating system (OS) which can be released by Huawei.

But what devices should we be excited about? Here are some that we would be seeing its launch in 2020.
Samsung Galaxy S20 (S11) Series
The reveal for the new galaxy s series lineup would be on February 2020 since this was announced by Samsung just recently.

The next phones are expected to sport the new chipset by Snapdragon which is the SD865 or Samsung’s Exynos 9830 chipset.
Price-wise, we can expect the phones to be at their highest, considering the fact that they’l be the most powerful. How’s that for smartphones that will launch in 2020?
The Second-Gen Samsung Galaxy Fold
Although before 2020 entered, there were rumors that the next gen Samsung Galaxy Fold would be released by the first half of 2020; and with Samsung’s recent announcement, the rumors were proven to be true.
The First-Gen Fold Samsung phone was somewhat of a flop due to the issues some people have experienced in using the phone especially with the screen breaking up and not withstanding lots of stress and creases on it when folded. These, however, are to be expected for such innovation and we should look forward how these issues would be fixed on the next Galaxy Fold.

Google Pixel 5 Series
If you are an avid fan of the Google Pixel phones, well this lineup is what you should be waiting for. The Pixel 4 series was a very criticized lineup when it was launching because of the issues that Google failed to address; especially the Pixel 4’s battery. As with the phones that will launch in 2020 we are expecting, the Pixel 5 series is expected to support the latest 5G network and fix the problems that previous lineup had.
Word on that street say that it should also sport an ultra-wide camera but most likely would be physically larger because of the newer processor and battery.
Apple iPhone 12 with 5G
Same goes with other phones were expecting, one thing that the Apple iPhone 12 series will have would be the famous 5G connectivity. One thing that rumors imply, is that Apple might remove the notch at the top of the phone and might opt in either for the punch hole display or pop up camera.
