The second one is likely to be known as Galaxy Fold 2. The company*has already launched the Galaxy Fold in India. Its successor will be taller/longer, but will not fold like a book, instead, it is said to sport a clamshell folding display. The second big change will be in the display quality. It is said to include an Ultra-Thin Glass (UTG) as the protective layer to replace the transparent polyimide (PI) film. This is currently being used on the Galaxy Fold. It’s the same plastic film, which reviewers had initially mistaken it for a screen guard, and its removal caused problems for Samsung.*Reports suggest that Samsung is focusing more on portability rather than having a large screen. The possible screen sizes could be 6.7-inches and 8.1-inches for now.*The next Galaxy Fold with*Moto Razr-like design will not be unveiled until March.  Also Read Samsung Galaxy Fold 2 could use flexible glass layer instead of plastic, launch set for 2020 Motorola Razr Motorola*recently showcased its new*Motorola Razr*folding phone with a clamshell design. The company claimed that it solved most of the issues that Samsung faced with its Galaxy Fold phone. Digging a bit further, Motorola claims that it used sliding plates to ensure the rigidity of the display.*It has two screens – the outer one is a 2.7-inch Quick View panel while the inner one is a 6.2-inch OLED screen with a 21:9 aspect ratio. There are two cameras as well. One 16-megapixel sensor placed above the Quick View screen while the other 5-megapixel sensor is inside a notch on the bigger display. The processor used is a Snapdragon 710 SoC. The Motorola Razr foldable phone comes with a price tag of $1,500 (approximately Rs 107,000).*The smartphone was scheduled to open on December 26, 2019, but Motorola later delayed that date due to high demand. Motorola is expected to release its new foldable Razr phone in 2020.

The Huawei Mate X2 is likely to pack the upcoming Kirin 1000 processor. This device will most likely be launched at IFA 2020, which will take place in September. The Mate X2 could adopt a design similar to that of the Samsung Galaxy Fold, meaning it will not fold outwards but inwards. The upcoming Huawei Mate X2 might not unfold into a tablet. It could fold into a standard phone with a full-screen, probably between 6.5-inches and 6.9-inches. Huawei is expected to launch the phone with a smaller footprint when folded and it should fit into pockets easily. The rest of the details are currently under wraps. Besides, Huawei is also expected to launch Mate Xs at MWC 2020, which will kick off on February 24.

Sounds interesting, doesn’t it? The patent showed that one will be able to use it as a normal-sized smartphone and pull to the left to extend further. This seems like a good concept if you also need a tablet-like large screen. Other patents suggest that Xiaomi’s foldable device will feature a pop-up selfie camera. It is assisted by a sensor and an LED flash. The company might also add a small screen at the back, as per a patent.
