LG V50 ThinQ
Expected release: October 2019
LG's second important phone of the year will likely be the big and powerful LG V50 ThinQ, which should build on top of the foundation that LG lays with the G8.
We don't know much about the V50 just yet, but we expect at least a triple camera system and a focus on it providing an excellent music and camera experience.
Huawei Mate 30 Pro and Mate 30
Expected release: October 2019
We don't yet know much about the upcoming Huawei Mate 30 series, but we do know that those will be the likely top-tier phones by Chinese company Huawei.
Traditionally, the Mate series are about an all-out smartphone experience, in a way similar to what Samsung's Galaxy Note is to the S series.
So we expect just that with a sprinkle of camera magic in a new camera system made in collaboration with Leica.
Razer Phone 3
Expected release: October 2019
Gaming phones might be here to stay and the Razer Phone 3 might be the phone that gamers will look forward to buying in the 2019 Holiday seasons. Razer was the first to introduce high frame-rate displays to its series of phones, a big advantage for competitive mobile gamers.
The Razer Phone 3 will need to improve more than just its gaming performance if it wants to become more popular, though. Things like the phone's camera are definitely not quite on par with premium flagships out there and we hope Razer finds the right technology to improve that, while keeping a good battery life and fast performance in the Razer Phone 3.
Xiaomi Mi Mix 4
Expected release: October - November 2019
Chinese company Xiaomi has been making some truly ahead-of-the-time models and the Mi Mix series is a prime example. The full-screen, bezel-less series should get a new member in late 2019 with a phone that will bring faster performance, tinier bezels and an improved camera, while sticking with a premium look and feel.
