Do you know the pleasant feeling that you are holding a brand new smart phone in your hands, and do you know that this is the newest model that not everyone has? If you are not familiar yet, pay attention to the announced new smartphones 2019, which we will discuss in detail in this article.
And if you are already familiar, this article will be all the more useful, because your smartphone may already be updated.
10. Samsung Galaxy Fold
Estimated price - $ 1980 (126 thousand rubles).
Characteristics:
- Galaxy Fold 2152-by-1536-pixel display
- Snapdragon 855 processor
- Graphics accelerator Adreno 640
- 512 GB of internal storage and 12 GB of RAM, no memory card slot
- Two batteries with a total capacity of 4380 mAh
- Dimensions: height - 157.9 mm, width - 60.5 mm, thickness - 11.7 mm
- Weight - 150 g
Samsung has been telling us for years that its first foldable smartphone is just around the corner. Well, April 26 will come, and this smartphone will finally be in your hands - if you are ready to part with an impressive amount of $ 1,980 or about 130 thousand rubles.
Introduced in February 2019, the device combines a 4.6-inch flexible display on the outside with a massive 7.3-inch panel on the inside. And Samsung has done a great job of making sure the experience of switching between the two screens is as smooth as possible.
Thanks to the App Continuity feature, everything open on the external screen will be immediately displayed when you open the device for a larger view. Also, six cameras are announced at once (total inside and outside). And for each of them you can shoot video in 4K resolution.
However, the Galaxy Fold was already having problems even before the smartphone went on the free sale. Several reporters have contacted Samsung with complaints about the main screen of the device they received for testing.
So, the columnist Bloomberg reported that his smartphone completely failed the screen two days after the start of testing. Perhaps this is due to the fact that the journalist removed the protective film from the screen, and the manufacturer does not recommend doing this.
9. Huawei Mate X
Estimated price - 2,200 euros (158 thousand rubles).
Characteristics:
- 8-inch screen with a resolution of 2480 by 2200 pixels
- Kirin 980 + Balong 5000 processor
- GPU Mali-G76
- 8 GB RAM, 512 GB onboard storage with memory card slot
- 4500mAh battery
- Dimensions: 161.3mm x 78.3 / 146.2mm x 11 / 5.4mm
- Weight - 295 g
One of the top smartphone innovations of 2019 features a huge 8-inch edge-to-edge foldable screen that dominates the face of the device. When folded, the resolution is conditionally "divided" as follows:
- the front display has a resolution of 2480 by 1148 pixels and a size of 6.6 inches,
- the resolution of the second screen is 2480 x 892 pixels, and the diagonal is 6.38 inches.
The result is a foldable smartphone / tablet that, from the outset, looks somewhat more advantageous than its competitors in terms of ergonomics and design. The back panel of the color of the starry sky looks very unusual and amazingly beautiful.
A feature of this model is also support for 5G networks. And although this is not particularly relevant for Russia (we do not have 4G yet everywhere), it will be useful for those who often travel to other countries.
And the main drawback of the Mate X is its astronomically high price, which even surpassed the cost of the Galaxy Fold at 2,200 euros.
eight.Samsung Galaxy S10 5G
Estimated price - $ 1,360 (85 thousand rubles) in the maximum configuration.
Characteristics:

- Memory: 256GB, 8GB RAM
- Battery capacity - 4500 mAh
- Dimensions: 162.6mm x 77.1mm x 7.9mm

Samsung has done a lot more than just plugged a 5G modem into the popular S10. The 5G phone features a massive 6.7-inch display that's larger than the 6.4-inch panel of the Galaxy S10 Plus, one of the most powerful and beautiful flagships of 2019.
The S10 5G is currently the only smartphone in the world to achieve 100 points for video recording in DxOMark.
Even the latest Huawei model - P30 Pro - which we will also talk about in the ranking of new smartphones - managed to score only 97 points in the video test.
The main camera of the Galaxy S10 5G is equipped with not only a conventional wide-angle module with interchangeable aperture, but also an ultra-wide-angle module with a 123 ° angle of view, as well as a sensor with a telephoto lens and a sensor for analyzing depth of field.
In the ranking of selfie cameras, the Samsung Galaxy S10 5G managed to bypass its "little brother" S10 Plus with 96 points and the closest competitor Huawei P30 Pro with 89 points.
7. Huawei P30 Pro
The average price is 69,990 rubles.
Characteristics:
- 6.47 ″ screen, 2340 × 1080 resolution
- Huawei Kirin 980 processor with dual neuromodule
- GPU Mali-G76 MP10
- Memory 256 GB, memory card slot
- The amount of RAM 8 GB

Unlike many other new smartphones in 2019, the price in rubles for the Huawei P30 Pro is already known, since it went on sale in April of this year.
According to users who have already acquired a new device, everything is excellent in it - from a triple main camera (40 MP / 20 MP / 8 MP plus a TOF 3D camera), to autonomy and performance.
And in addition to a large amount of RAM and a huge internal storage, which will be enough for most users for the entire period of using the phone, the manufacturer also provided for the possibility of installing a slot for a memory card.
Gesture control is close to what the iPhone has. Therefore, "iPhoneophiles" will not have any special problems when switching to the P30 Pro.
Lightning-fast charging, a very fast fingerprint scanner and face unlock are also pleasing.
6. iPhone 11
Estimated price - unknown.
Characteristics: unknown.
Yes, three new iPhones were introduced just a few months ago. But this is the smartphone industry, where you have to "run as fast just to stay in place." So it's no surprise that rumors of new iPhones are already spreading in full force.
Analyst Ming-Chi Kuo, who has already given accurate predictions about Apple products more than once, initially said that future phones from Cupertino (and there should be three in total) will be equipped with two lenses and will probably lose 3D Touch in order to reduce production costs.
However, now there are rumors that Apple plans to equip the new product with a triple camera on the back, similar to the popular Huawei Mate 20 Pro camera phone. And yet another rumor suggests that Apple may use Sony's advanced 3D cameras to provide gaming gesture control and room scanning capabilities.
Also, Ming-Chi Kuo said that the front camera will be improved. It will be TrueDepth with a 12MP sensor. The current iPhone XS, iPhone XS Max, and iPhone XR have a 7MP sensor.
Three new versions of "iPhone", presumably, will receive screens of 5.8 inches, 6.1 inches and 6.5 inches.
The only thing that is known with 99% probability is that it will not be a 5G phone. Apple, as is often the case, will wait for the right moment before moving on to new technology.
5. Sony Xperia 1
Estimated price - 1110 dollars (70 thousand rubles)
Characteristics:
- 6.5-inch screen, 21: 9 aspect ratio, 3840 x 1644 resolution
- Snapdragon 855 processor
- Graphics accelerator Adreno 640
- 6/64 and 6/128 GB memory with slot for memory cards
- Battery 3330 mAh
- Dimensions 167 x 72 x 8.2 mm
- Weight 180 g
To highlight this year's flagship phone, Sony has chosen not only a short and catchy name for the Xperia 1, but also a unique 21: 9 4K HDR OLED display.
By comparison, today's popular widescreen phones offer a 19: 9 aspect ratio.
The Sony display is more like a movie screen, making the Xperia 1 ideal for watching movies and playing games.
On the back of the phone, we'll find a trio of 12MP cameras - for ultra-wide views, a telephoto lens, and a main camera. And the Cinema Pro mode adds many settings to make your videos look perfect on the big screen.
4. Google Pixel 3a and 3a XL
Estimated price - 535-550 dollars (34-35 thousand rubles)
Characteristics:
- 5.6 / 6-inch screen with 2220 x 1080 and 2160 x 1080 pixels
- SoC Snapdragon 670 / Snapdragon 710
- Main camera 12 MP, front - 8 MP
- Memory 64 GB, RAM 4 GB
- Battery 3000mAh
It turned out that rumors that Google is working on a new version of the Google Pixel - a low-cost mid-range device called "Bonito" - were not rumors at all. Presumably official renders of new smartphones have leaked to the Network.
They don't look particularly impressive, and the large bezels around the display just look outdated. And those characteristics that are already known suggest an average performance. To complete the "could be better" picture, let's add that these smartphones are equipped with plastic instead of glass on the back panel like the Google Pixel 3.
We can only hope that at the presentation, which will take place in May, Google will be able to please users with something special. For example, the low price of their new smartphones in 2019.
3.ZTE Axon 10 Pro 5G
Estimated price - unknown.
Characteristics:
- 6.47 ″ screen with a resolution of 1080 x 2340 pixels
- Qualcomm Snapdragon 855 processor
- Memory 128 GB, 6 GB RAM, memory card slot
- 4000mAh battery
- Dimensions: 159.2 x 73.4 x 7.9mm
- Weight 187 g
ZTE hopes 5G will help it take its rightful place in the smartphone market in 2019. The company's newest phone will be powered by Qualcomm's new Snapdragon 855 chipset and equipped with an X50 modem. And so that the productive iron does not get too hot, it is cooled by a liquid cooling system created using composite materials.
According to the latest trend, the fingerprint scanner is integrated directly into the display. There is also Face ID. Works smartphone based on OS Android 9.0 (Pie).
Photo enthusiasts should love the triple OIS camera with f / 1.75 aperture and 8000 x 6000 pixel resolution. Many AI-powered features have also been announced, including motion capture, scene recognition and portrait lighting.
2. OnePlus 5G
Estimated price - $ 750 (48 thousand rubles)
Characteristics:
- Screen - unknown
- Qualcomm Snapdragon 855 processor
- Snapdragon X50 5G Modem
- Memory (presumably) 6 GB RAM
Since 2019 has become the year of 5G, many manufacturers are releasing phones that operate on 5G networks. And OnePlus is no exception.
She shared some minor details about the phone at Mobile World Congress, confirming that there will be two separate 4G and 5G enabled devices and that there will be little difference between the two.
Currently, little is known about what the OnePlus 5G might look like other than that big plastic phone shown at Mobile World Congress. This demonstrates one design detail of the novelty - the rather large screen, which should be more than 6 inches.
OnePlus prides itself on offering users the same rich functionality as other smartphones that cost significantly more. Therefore, you can expect the OnePlus 5G to be equipped with the latest fashions - from an in-screen fingerprint scanner to a triple camera and super-fast charging.
1. Nokia 9 PureView
The average price is 49,990 rubles.
Characteristics:
- 6-inch screen with a resolution of 2880x1440 pixels
- Snapdragon 845 processor
- Memory 128 GB, 6 GB RAM, memory card slot
- Battery 3320mAh
- Dimensions 155 x 75 x 8mm
- Weight 172 g
Two cameras, three cameras and even four cameras are already the last century. Move over, camera phones, the new king has arrived - the Nokia 9 PureView. This expected by many smartphone, announced in February 2019, has a five-camera system in the back and is ready to take the perfect photos for you.
The camera array, which looks like a flower or a spider's eye, has one important advantage - it does not protrude from the body.
Behind the Zeiss lenses are five Sony sensors, all 12MP. Three of these sensors are monochrome and two are color. The goal is for monochrome sensors to collect all light and detail data and add it to RGB data to create the best possible image quality. There is a sixth module, which is responsible only for focusing.
In terms of design, the Nokia smartphone comes in only one color - Midnight Blue - and has an IP67 rating. There is no notch on its front panel, so it does not look like the twin brother of the iPhone, which many other models sin.
Another highlight of the Nokia 9 PureView is its pure Android build. Android One's commitment sets it apart from competitors such as Huawei or Xiaomi, with many preinstalled apps.
The only drawback of the device so far looks like a slightly outdated Snapdragon 845. But otherwise it is an ambitious and innovative phone.
