The device is expected to come with the same 6.57-inch IPS LCD display that is available on the Honor V30.
• A recently sighted Huawei Nova 6 5G Geekbench listing had indicated that the phone will pack an Octa-core HiSilicon Kirin processor. The device was spotted running Android 10 and drew power from an octa-core HiSilicon SoC clocked at 1.86GHz.
• The Huawei Nova 6 5G will reportedly feature a quad rear camera setup that will be headlined by a 60-megapixel snapper. The main camera will employ the Sony IMX686 sensor, accompanied by a 16-megapixel snapper, and a pair of 2-megapixel cameras at the back. On the front will be a 32-megapixel main camera for selfies assisted by a 12-megapixel wide-angle camera. The upcoming Huawei phone will reportedly pack a 4,000mAh battery with support for 40W Magic Charge fast charging technology.

Display and Camera

• Huawei Nova 6 sports a 6.39-inch Super AMOLED display having a screen resolution of 1,080 x 2,400 pixels. It results in a pixel density of 412 PPI. The display comes with Corning Gorilla Glass protection on top of the screen.
• There is a 60MP + 16MP + 2MP + 2MP quad rear lenses which can click impressive pictures with high resolution. It can also record good quality videos. The front camera comes with a 32MP and 12MP lenses which can click amazing pictures and assist with video calls.

Configuration and Battery

• Huawei Nova 6 is equipped with a HiSilicon Kirin 990 5G chipset and an octa-core processor having a clock speed of up to 2.86GHz. It is assisted by the Mali-G76 MP16 GPU and an 8GB RAM. Together, the smartphone is capable to meet high-end usage and seamless multitasking.
• To keep it active all day long, there is a Li-ion battery with 4,000mAh capacity. It takes a short duration to refill the empty cell with the help of Super Fast charging support.

Storage and Connectivity

• The Realme X2 Pro is a rumored handset that is likely to come out of the Realme stables in the next few months. As evident from the name, this device seems to be an upgrade to the Realme X2 that was recently announced by the company in China. The Realme X2 Pro will see an upgrade in terms of the processor. At this point, it is not clear if the only change in the Pro version would be the addition of a faster SoC. Current reports suggest that the Realme X2 Pro will use the Qualcomm Snapdragon 855 Plus SoC as opposed to the Snapdragon 730G chipset used on the Realme X2. The other Realme mobile phones you may be interested in are the Realme XT and the Realme X

• The Realme X2 Pro is likely to get the same display as its lower-spec d sibling. This means that the panel will measure 6.4-inches across and will be of the Super AMOLED type. This display will have a resolution of 1080 x 2340 pixels in the 19.5:9 aspect ratio and has a PPI density of 403. The handset also gets Gorilla Glass 5 protection for added durability. Unlike the mid-range Qualcomm Snapdragon 730G chipset used on the Realme X2, the Realme X2 Pro is serious about its ambitions as an affordable flagship and will use the Qualcomm Snapdragon 855 Plus SoC. This is an overclocked version of the standard Snapdragon 855 and is famous for being used on handsets like the ASUS ROG Phone 2 and the OnePlus 7T.

• Like its sibling the Realme X2 Pro will be offered in multiple RAM and storage versions. The standard Realme X2 comes in three versions; a base 64GB version with 6GB RAM, a 128GB version with 8GB RAM, and a top end 256GB variant that gets 8GB of RAM. There is a good chance that Realme will retain these same variants for the Realme X2 Pro. There is, however, also a good chance that the company could go all out and also present a 12GB RAM variant. 

• The Realme X2 Pro is likely to feature a large 4,000 mAh battery just like its lower priced sibling. There has been demand from fans, however, to provide at least a 4,500 mAh battery with the device. Another demand is that it should come with a 65W fast charger. It remains to be seen if the Realme X2 Pro would really come with these additions. The camera setup on the Realme X2 Pro is likely to be identical to the one on the Realme X2. This means that it will get a quad camera setup consisting of a 64-megapixel primary camera mated to an f/1.8 wide lens with support for PDAF. The secondary camera uses an 8-megapixel sensor mated to a 13mm ultrawide angle lens with f/2.3 aperture. The third camera is a dedicated 2-megapixel sensor for macro shots. This camera uses an f/2.4 lens. The fourth sensor is a dedicated 2-megapixel depth sensor with f/2.4 aperture. At the front, the handset gets a 32-megapixel selfie camera.

• You get a 6.5-inch Fluid AMOLED display, similar to the one found on the OnePlus 7T. The screen resolution is set at 2,400 x 1,080 pixels. Realme has also opted for a 90Hz display on the phone, same as the OnePlus 7T. The display also supports HDR10+ and features an eye protection mode.
• You also get an in-display optical fingerprint sensor and a U-shaped notch on the panel. The device achieves a screen-to-body ratio of 91.7%.

• The Realme X2 Pro has launched in China at CNY 2,699 (~$381) for the 6GB + 64GB variant, CNY 2,899 (~$409) for the 8GB + 128GB option, and CNY 3,299 (~$466) for the 12GB + 256GB version.
• In Europe, the device is priced at €399 for the 6GB + 64GB configuration, €449 for the 8GB + 128GB model, and €499 for the 12GB + 256GB version. It will be available in select European regions starting early November.
• It will also be available in India by December, as confirmed the Realme’s India head, Madhav Sheth.
• Realme also announced the price for the Realme X2 in Europe today. The smartphone bears the same specs as the Realme XT, except it swaps the Snapdragon 712 chipset on the XT for the Snapdragon 730G. It also features a 32MP front camera, as well as 30W fast charging. The Realme X2 is priced at €299 for the 8GB RAM and 128GB storage variant. It will be available in Pearl White, Pearl Blue colorways. It will be available in Europe starting October 29.
• Color options on the Realme X2 Pro include Lunar White and Neptune Blue colorways.
• At these prices, the Realme X2 Pro sits pretty between the Xiaomi Redmi Note 8 Pro and the OnePlus 7T. How well does it perform? Read our review to find out.

• Samsung Galaxy Fold based on Android Pie and packs 512GB of inbuilt storage.
• Connectivity options on the Samsung Galaxy Fold include Wi-Fi, GPS, and USB Type-C.
• It was launched in Space Silver, Cosmos Black, and Martian Green and Astro Blue colours.

Design

• Samsung believes the Galaxy Fold has the most intuitive form factor for a foldable phone, with the screen folding in on itself to provide protection, much like a laptop.
• The company certainly hasn't taken the challenge of designing of its first foldable phone lightly. This is a phone that's been over 10 years in the making and has gone through over 1,000 different prototypes as well as the further durability improvements.
• The book-like folding action does feel like a natural way to open the handset, and it's certainly easier to get to grips with than the Huawei Mate X – Huawei has taken the opposite design approach to Samsung, with the screen on the outside of its device when it's folded.
• Open up the Galaxy Fold fully to reveal the 7.3-inch display and the 20-part, dual-axis hinge locks into place, preventing you from over-extending the display past 180 degrees.
• Fold it back up and the phone snaps shut with a satisfying sound, giving you confidence that it won't accidentally unfurl itself in your bag.
• Samsung has spent a lot of time working on the dual-axis hinge, and it gives the device a tactile feel, with a smooth movement between its two states. It's been designed to withstand more than 200,000 folds and unfolds, which works out at 100 opens and shuts a day for five years – so it should last.
• It certainly feels sturdy, and capable of surviving repeated folding and unfolding, and a nice touch is the way the hinge disappears into the body of each half of the phone when it's fully opened.
• The second version of the phone also comes with caps over the top of the hinge to ensure dust doesn't get into the device. It also feels more sturdy when opened out into its tablet form as Samsung has laid metal inside the device to ensure you don't bend it too far.
• When Samsung first revealed the device, it had a screen protector on that was unlike what you'd get on your average smartphone. Some testers removed that protector, and it caused structural issues with the phone.
• Samsung has now included a slim rim around the outside of the inner display that blocks you from removing the screen protector and also helps keep the device closer together when it's folded back into its thinnest form.
• It doesn't feel like the most premium aspect of the phone, but if it ensures people don't remove the screen protector it will have done its job.
• The fingerprint sensor is located on the right edge of the lower half of the device when it's closed, falling nicely under thumb or finger, and so it remains in that position when the phone is unfolded. The sensor also acts as a Bixby launch button when pressed, jumping you straight 

Display

• The Samsung Galaxy Fold has two screens, with the 4.6-inch HD+ Super AMOLED display on the front (when the device is closed in 'phone mode') feeling a little small by today's standards, when most phones have screens which are at least five inches in size.
• It's made to feel smaller thanks to the sizable bezels above and below, reminiscent of phones from around 10 years ago. It's a trade-off that has to be made, as the tech has to fit somewhere, and the benefit of its diminutive size is that it can be easily used one-handed.
• In terms of aesthetics, though, it's far from pleasing to the eye. In a world where bezels are disappearing almost completely, the look here is a real blast from the past – and when you consider the asking price for the Samsung Galaxy Fold, some may argue that its appearance, at least in 'phone mode', doesn't quite match its premium price tag.
• The small display is bright and clear though, with Samsung's Super AMOLED panel providing plenty of color. You can easily navigate Android, and it's useful for checking notifications, reading messages and controlling music playback.

Interface and performance

• There are various ways you can use the Samsung Galaxy Fold. When closed, the 'phone mode' provides one-handed operation for tasks such as calls and music playback.
• The 4.6-inch display operates like that of a regular smartphone, so apps and games work as you'd expect, although with a bigger screen just a quick unfold away, working on the smaller screen can feel cramped.
• Open the device up into 'tablet mode', and the larger screen makes social media, messaging, web browsing, gaming and photo/video editing much easier.
• Each time you transition from one screen to the other, compatible apps will follow your usage patterns for a seamless experience. For example, if you launch Google Maps in 'phone mode', and then open the Fold up, Google Maps will automatically be displayed on the big screen.

• With all the innovation in design, it would be fair to give Samsung some slack on the camera front. But you needn’t do so — the Korean company has pulled out all the stops, adding six camera lenses to the Galaxy Fold.
• You’ll find the first camera lens on the cover, above the 4.6-inch Super AMOLED front display. It’s a 10-megapixel selfie lens with an aperture of f/2.2, and a field-of-view (FOV) of 80-degrees. You’ll find three more impressive lenses are around the back of the device though. The first is a 16-megapixel ultra-wide-angle lens with an aperture of f/2.2 and an FOV of 123-degrees. Next comes a 12-megapixel wide-angle lens with Super Speed Dual Pixel autofocus, optical image stabilization (OIS), a variable aperture of f/1.5 and f/2.2, and an FOV of 77 degrees. The final lens is a 12-megapixel telephoto lens with 2x optical zoom, phase-detect autofocus (PDAF), OIS, and an aperture of f/2.4.
• We’ve not forgotten the final two lenses though. Open the Galaxy Fold up and you’ll find two more selfie cameras looking out at you from the device’s odd notch. The main lens is a 10-megapixel lens with an aperture of f/2.2, and a wide FOV of 80-degrees. The second lens is an 8-megapixel depth-sensing lens with an aperture of f/1.9, and a wide-angle FOV of 85-degrees.
• All of this comes with Samsung’s now usual bevy of A.I.-powered extras, including the Scene Optimizer and the Flaw Detection that can tell you if someone blinked or moved suddenly. Video capabilities are also impressive, with the ability to record 4K UHD footage at 60 frames-per-second (fps) and super slow-motion video at 960 fps.
