Demoed at Lenovo's Tech World event, the foldable phone prototype seems to be very similar to what Samsung could be releasing in November. it has a hinge system in the middle of the display and several segments that facilitate the folding angle. the device is quite responsive, but Lenovo still has to rectify a few issues for the final versions.

The Qualcomm Snapdragon 660-driven Realme 2 Pro and the Qualcomm Snapdragon 450-driven Realme C1 both come with a notched display and excellent specs/features for the price.

Although we heard about a Vivo handset with 10 GB of memory in the first part of the year, that device still has to hit the market. In the meantime, the OPPO Find X with the same impressive amount of memory has surfaced on TENAA. Now, all that remains to see is which one of them hits the market first.

The first renders of the Huawei Mate 20 pro reveal a tri-camera setup on the back, but the absence of the usual circular fingerprint sensor could mean that the display itself is housing it now. Speaking of the display, the extra-long notch at the top will most likely not be a strong selling point for this model.

Introduced in China back in May as the Nokia X5, the notched Nokia 5.1 Plus is now finally ready to hit the Indian market in black and blue.

The Y-series from Huawei will soon include entry-level models as well as mid-range ones like the upcoming Y9 (2019) that just got the green light from TENAA. Powered by a Snapdragon 710 SoC, the new Y9 should come in two variants: 4 GB RAM / 64 GB storage and 6 GB RAM / 128 GB storage. Additionally, it will get a 6.5-inch notched screen, dual camera and fingerprint on the back and a 3,900 mAh battery.
