Mobile World Congress is underway, which means there are a handful of brand spankin’ new 5G phones hitting the market soon.
How ever will you decide?
Here’s a look at all the 5G phones announced thus far:
Huawei Mate X

- Memory: 8GB RAM, 512GB internal
- Price: $2,600
- Size: 11mm folded, 5.4mm unfolded
LG V50 ThinQ 5G
Aside from its unbearably long name, the LG V50 ThinQ 5G’s claim to fame is a new biometric security measure called Hand ID, which reads the veins in your hand to authenticate your identity. Plus, the new LG flagship has a dual-screen case, which effectively turns the phone into a foldable.

- Memory: 6GB RAM, 128GB internal

Samsung Galaxy Fold
The Galaxy Fold is likely to be the most talked-about phone out of MWC because 1) it folds and 2) it’s made by the biggest phone maker in the world. The handset, with a 7.3-inch 1536×2152 Super AMOLED unfolded display and a 4.6-inch cover display, will be available April 26.

Xiaomi Mi Mix 3
Interestingly, Xiaomi opted to leave 5G out of its flagship phone for the year, the Mi 9. That said, the 5G Mi Mix 3 has a handful of its own interesting features, including a sliding front-facing camera that results in a 93.4 percent screen-to-body ratio. It also has a dual-camera system that offers the ability to shoot slow-mo videos at 960 frames per second.
Some other specs:
- Processor: Qualcomm SDM855 Snapdragon 855

- Memory: 6GB RAM, 64GB/128GB internal

ZTE Axon 10 Pro 5G
The Axon 10 Pro 5G doesn’t have many tricks, like a folding display, but it does come with a triple-camera system and what appears to be an in-display fingerprint reader. It also sports a 6.7-inch 1080p display. The phone will definitely launch in Europe and China, but no word on whether it will make its way stateside.
Some other specs:
- Processor: Qualcomm SDM855 Snapdragon 855
- Battery: 4,000mAh
