Still, 5G NR promises to dramatically improve internet speeds and enable experiences like always-connected laptops or live streaming from stand-alone VR headsets.

Foldable phones are becoming more real. The reason why people are interested in the idea of folding smartphones is that of the technological advancements that have taken place in displays allowing them to be flexible. It will have Gorilla Glass on the front and back. This will be important because you will constantly be placing it down on glass. It is more like a tablet, over 7 inches and an AMOLED display with nice saturated colors.

The A12 Bionic has a 7nm technology, being one of the first chips on the market. This chip has some insane advantages. With the release of the A12 Bionic, consumers will get a 25% performance boost as well as 30% of a graphic boost. This boost will come along with all the new pixels that the iPhone X has to push. With the 7nm chip, there will be better power savings for the more efficient use of a smartphone.

Most high-end processors have components dedicated to artificial intelligence. The number of scene categories will constantly increase and your device will easily be able to differentiate a dog from a cat.

8. In-display fingerprint Scanner

Optical scanners use a certain light to illuminate your finger. A tiny camera under your display takes an image of your finger which is then compared to the stored image. But 2019 will see a lot of ultrasonic scanners. The advantage here is that they work better with contaminated fingerprints.

9. Dual Front Camera

Dual front cameras are going from being a novelty to almost a must-have with flagship devices. Optimized zoom and improved detail in images are two major advantages that come with a dual front camera. The 2X optical zoom helps you get closer to the subject without physically moving forward. The advantage here is that there is no loss of detail in these images. A dedicated portrait mode in most flagship devices allows a better depth of field and blurring the backgrounds to give your photos a more professional look.
