The one of the hottest tech topics that has been trending this year is phones with foldable display. We know companies such as Samsung and Huawei that have had their foldable phone in the works for some time now.
However, the isu terkini got strong this year and we have seen the likes of Energizer, TLC, Xiaomi, Motorola, Oppo, LG, Apple and others who also have a foldable phone in the works. Last week, Samsung launched its foldable phone called the Galaxy Fold and Huawei too has't wasted much time in launching its own foldable device called the Huawei Mate X, and we will be expecting more flexible phones launches as in the MWC 2019. For now, lets look at how the Huawei Mate X looks, and what it has to offer.
The Huawei Mate X folds outwards, opposite to Samsung's Galaxy Fold that folds inwards. The display of the device wraps around the outer sides of the phone when it is folded. When it is unfolded, the thickness of the device is 5.4 mm, while the thick bulge located at the right end of the device is 11 mm in thickness.
The thick bulge serves like a grip, providing more thickness so as to fit in the user's hands properly. The bulge also serve as the meeting point where the other end of the folding screen meets.
Now, apart from the opposite direction that the Mate X folds when compared to the Samsung Galaxy Fold, the two Mate X screens are active even when the user folds it. Depending on the want of the user, theres the other half of the screen that folds backwards and meets with the bulge. This display shrinks to 6.38-inches diagonally while the other half of the screen that is at the front is 6.6-inch. The user can spin both sides around to use either side of the screens while its still folded.
When unfolded, the two sides of the screen becomes one... measuring 8-inch, 2480 x 2200 AMOLED display.
The Mate X is powered by Kirin 980, the same chip that powers the Mate 20 Pro, offering up to 2.6 GHz of speed. There's a triple Leica camera at the back of the device.. erm, the bulge actually houses the cameras. Just as it is on the Mate 20 Pro, there's one telephoto lens, one wide-angle, and one ultra-wide.
Huawei made the Mate X in a way that the triple cameras at the back of the device will also serve for shooting selfie. To take a selfie with the Mate X, the user will have to fold the device, and the cameras which are situated in the bulge will now face the user and be perfect for selfie. For the battery capacity, the Mate X is powered by two batteries that housed in the two halves of the foldable device. Together, the halves provides the device 4,500mAh of battery power. Coupled with Huawei's efficient power management technology, this battery should be able to keep the device running for an ample amount of time, despite its screen size.
Another feature on the device si the presence of Huawei's 55 W fast charge. And, yes, we can't round up this post without mentioning that the device is 5G capable. Huawei's boasted top speed allows you to download 1 GB of data file in just three seconds.
The Huawei Mate X device will be sold for $2,600, which is $620 more expensive that Samsung's Galaxy Fold which cost $1,980. Camparing the price with Apple's iPhone XR which is sold for $749, th Mate X is almost 4 times the price.
The Mate X should be available for consumers towards the half of 2019.
We've seen the release of foldable phones from Samsung, Huawei and Nubia, and still hope for more releases at the Mobile World Congress 2019. LG too has also joined the list of companies that have released a foldable smartphone.
LG's latest flagship, the LG V50 ThinQ 5G (yeah, i know the name is pretty long) comes with an optional case that has a second screen on it. The two identical screens will offer users split screen functionality that a complete foldable smartphone has to offer.
The LG device main screen is a 6.4-inch OLED 3120x1440 display with QHD+ resolution. Now, the second display is in the "LG DualScreen" accessory of the LG V50 ThinQ 5G. On the inside of the case, instead of a soft screen cover, there's an OLED 6.2-inch 2160x1080 display that has a stiff hinge in the middle to keep the two screens side by side.
The second screen uses an unspecified short-range Wi-Fi to connect to the device. There's also a triple pogo pin connector that allows the second screen to draw power from the main device internal battery Design wise, there isn't much difference between the LG V50 ThinQ 5G and the V40. There are two cameras in the notches on the main display. These includes a standard 8MP one and a 5MP one wide-angle sensor.
At the back of the device, there's a triple rear camera setup though LG's engineers this time fit in the camera sensors into the device body, thereby eliminating the camera bumps that are on the V40. The triple camera setup includes: a 12MP standard F1.5 camera, 12MP telephoto one wth F2.4 and a 16MP wide-angle one with F1.9. One new feature that LG added is the ability of users to take portrait-mode videos with the front facing camera and the ones at the back!
The device is powered by a Snapdragon 855 processor, 6GB of RAM and 128GB of internal storage. There's a 400mAh battery to power the LG device and a Quick Charge 3.0 to speed up charging time.
With a Snapdragon X50 5G modem that promises downloads of multiple gigabytes per second, LG added a new Vapor Chamber heat-dissipation to combat the heat that the 5G modem produces.
The LG V50 ThinQ 5G comes with Android 9.) Pie out of the box with LG's Android skin. Other specs includes a Boombox Speaker, IP68 water resistance, Al camera, Google Lens and 32-bit Hi-Fi Quad DAC, Buetooth 5.0 and yeah, there's a 3.5mm headphone jack on the device.
For now, the LG V50 ThinQ 5G will be available in Astro Black at launch.

Last month, battery making company Energizer, made available to the public some list of battery packed phones that it planned to release this year. Now the battery maker has released at the on going Mobile World Congress the battery focused phones, including a smartphone that has a massive 18,000mAh battery capacity.
According to images shared by ExpertReviews, the Energizer Power Max P18K Pop looks like a battery power bank that has a screen and cameras attached to it. Well, this battery power bank happens to be an Android device that runs on Android 9 Pie. The device is 18mm thick (that is more than twice thick as the iPhone XS) which instantly kills the idea of you having to put it in any of your pockets.
The device is 153mm tall and 74.8mm wide, and is in no way light when you compare it to the regular smartphone.

This Android Fraud Malware Is The Cause For Your Battery Drain, Device Getting Slow & Ho This device comes with a 6.2-inch 2280x1080 display, has a triple camera setup at the back (as if to say the thickness alone isn't enough, the camera setup has a bump). The setup are a 12MP + 5MP + 2MP camera sensors. For the selfie camera, it has 16MP + 2MP pop-up camera (hence the name Pop was added to it).
As mentioned before, the phone has a crazy 18,000mAh battery capacity which can last for days on a single charge. Energizer says you can watch videos with it for two days, listen to 100 hours of music, talk on the phone for 90 hours and even charge other device via its USB type-C cable.
Energizer claims that the device can be charged from empty to full just within a span of two hours via its 18W charger.
The device is powered by a Mediatek Helio P70 8-core 2.0 GHz processor, supports dual SIM, has 6GB of RAM size, 128GB of internal memory and as well has a microSD for memory expansion that support up to 128GB.
However, for a phone like this. Most people buying it will come for it because it will be well suited for camping, and other out door activities that will take you more than a day to get to a power source. Unfortunately, this device isn't equipped for that. This device isn't a rugged phone, isn't water proof nor shookproof.
Energizer will sale the device for $682 (600 euros) when it releases it in June later this year.
