Apple's iPhone 12 series is arguably the most anticipated smartphone series of the lot, as reports suggest the new iPhone will keep the all-screen face while adopting a flattened metal frame akin to the iPad Pro-style design.

Google Pixel 5 is another much-anticipated smartphone slated for later this year and although not much is known about it, tech watchers say that Pixel 5 will presumably have a big camera array and a brushed metal frame.
A report by the Front Page Tech suggests that it will carry a giant triple-camera setup on the back and Google could also return to its Soli radar chip plus a Qualcomm Snapdragon 865 chipset to power the smartphone.

Speaking of which, Google had earlier this month introduced the new affordable smartphone Pixel 4a starting at $349 for the lone 6GB+128GB model in the US that will arrive in India in October. The company said it will reveal the price for the Indian market closer to its launch, which will be available for purchase on Flipkart.
The smartphone features a 5.8-inch OLED display and will come in 'Just Black' color. The phone has a matte finish and includes a Pixel`s signature color pop power button in mint.
Google is keeping the same camera module that it used in Pixel 3, 3A, and Pixel 4: Sony`s 12MP IMX363. The rear camera supports HDR+ with dual exposure controls, Portrait Mode, Top Shot, Night Sight with astrophotography capabilities, and fused video stabilization. There is also an optical image stabilization (OIS). For selfies, the phone has an 8MP camera sensor at the front, with an f/2.0 lens.

5. Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 2
)
Last but not the least, the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 2 looks right out of the pages of sci-fi as a futuristic-looking gadget that the company actually confirmed will be released later in the near future. This is the second phone in the series where Samsung is attempting the 'foldable phone' design that started with the original Galaxy Fold.
Some of the flaws of the original Fold has been now revised in the new Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 2, specifically changing the small-awkwardly sized external screen that has now been made much taller and the giant camera model in the upper corner.
While there is no news on the presumed price of the smartphone or its estimated release date, it is being presumed that the futuristic mobile phone will be released sometime later this year.
