Their upcoming phone release will have a folding display and is targeted for a 2019 release
In the last decade, the transition from phones to smartphones have made them indispensable.
It makes it easy to stay connected to work, family and friends, wherever we may be.
Technological advances have essentially made the smartphone an easily accessible pocket computer.
New smartphone technology is always developing and in recent years, have seen things such as facial recognition.
Some smartphone releases in 2019 will be 5G enabled and will have other new age features.
Most phones are made in Asia, therefore appealing to the Indian market.
A wide range of phones will be available to suit anyone in India.
Cost, technology features, design are some of the aspects that are taken into account.
Let’s take a look at the upcoming smartphone releases in India in 2019 and their features, both confirmed and rumoured.
OnePlus 7
OnePlus recently announced that they will be releasing a new device in 2019.
The name of the phone has not been officially announced but it is rumoured to be the OnePlus 7.
Speculation occurred when OnePlus co-founder Carl Pei said that they “have no plans to launch the OnePlus 6T.”
It has been confirmed that the upcoming OnePlus will be one of the first phones to be 5G enabled.
While network speed will increase, there are currently no 5G networks and not all countries will have it by 2019.
India may be one of the countries not to have 5G, so customers looking to upgrade would have to wait for a 5G supported carrier to arrive.
No other features are confirmed but it’s likely that the new phone will have a glass back since OnePlus 6 had one.
Previous handsets in the range had an alert slider, so it’s expected that the newest addition will have one.
It’s certain to have the best Qualcomm Snapdragon chipset available along with masses of RAM (the OnePlus 6 came with a choice of 6GB or 8GB).
The rumoured OnePlus 7 will have a mid-2019 release and with it being India’s main smartphone brand, expect to see lots sold upon release.
Despite it potentially costing over Rs. 42,000 (£470), previous success of the OnePlus 6 make it one of 2019’s most anticipated smartphone releases in India.
Samsung Galaxy F
Samsung has recently announced that they will be showcasing their new phone at the Mobile World Congress in February 2019.
CEO DJ Koh confirmed their upcoming phone release will have a folding display and is targeted for a 2019 release.
The South Korean giant’s new phone would be the first of its kind. It’s speculated that the phone is called the F.
Creating a suitable curved battery for the phone has made it a reality.
It will have a 7.3 inch OLED screen when open, which is the same size as a tablet. This gives more screen space in a smaller package. When folded, the screen is 4.5 inches.
Even though it is to release in India in 2019, it will not come cheap, approximately costing £1,400 (Rs. 126,000).
The price tag is likely to put a lot of people off.
Despite the hefty price, the Samsung Galaxy F is still one of the most unique smartphone releases in India because of its revolutionary technology.
Samsung Galaxy J2 Pro
Another 2019 release from Samsung, this time a more budget-friendly model.
Costing less than £100 (Rs. 8,900), this phone is for those who only want the basic requirements of a phone.

The Samsung Galaxy J2 does the basics very well, but it is limited compared to other upcoming phones.
Coming in a range of colours makes the Galaxy J2 Pro suitable for anyone looking for a cheap phone.
Low-cost and a simple design makes for one of the most budget-friendly smartphone releases in India when available on 26th February 2019.
