OnePlus 7/7T – With the OnePlus 6T coming in a few days and with the same processor as Snapdragon 845, the OnePlus 7 is widely expected to feature the Snapdragon 855 or 8150 with 5G connectivity.
Samsung Galaxy Foldable – Samsung is looking to beat all brands with their upcoming foldable Android phone. This niche will be the first as Chinese manufacturers are not able to launch any foldable phone until today.

Confirmed to launch in January is the Galaxy A8s with a hole in its screen designed to place its selfie camera for a total no notch, no bulge, and no bezel effect.
