5G networks have already started rolling out across the globe. But when it comes to 5G devices, we haven't seen many up for commercial sale yet.

In 2020, we can easily say that 5G is not a new concept anymore. With more and more 5G networks rolling out across the globe, it’s clear that 5G is here to stay. However, we haven’t seen many new 5G devices coming up yet. But these devices, which include smartphones as well as routers, will be rolling out in large numbers soon.

The TCL 10 Pro, 10L, & 10 5G Sleek Smartphones are some of the first phones from the company. And they’ll probably come at a price point most people can afford.

This means it will likely offer 5G connectivity.

Xiaomi Mi MIX Alpha Surround-Screen Smartphone

Apparently, waterfall displays are a thing of the past. The Xiaomi Mi MIX Alpha Surround-Screen Smartphone completely bypasses the idea of a nearly bezel-free phone for a phone that’s all screen. The surrounding display on this phone wraps around the entire device until it meets the camera on the back. You’ll still see details like battery life and network signal strength. A static location on the side will display these along with the volume buttons. Though this full-screen smartphone will be produced in limited quantities, it isn’t just for looks.

Just announced, the Samsung Galaxy Note10 and Note10+ give you two screen size options. The Note10 is slightly smaller with an infinity display of 6.3 inches.

And with a new edge-to-edge display, these phones are almost completely free of bezels. So you get more screen to watch and space to work.
