Oppo has shown off folding phone prototypes before, including an out-folding device. It's thought Oppo might be preparing to launch a device called the Oppo Peacock, a folding phone.
Xiaomi has dropped the Mi from its phone naming, so the next flagship device will be the Xiaomi 12. Some camera rumours have circulated, but apart from that, we suspect this phone will appear alongside the latest Snapdragon launch in December 2021.
The Samsung Galaxy S21 FE didn't launch as expected in 2021 - with some suggesting it will launch early in 2022 - prior to the launch of the Galaxy S22. You can expect it to offer value for money and prove to be a popular model, with a 6.4-inch display and a camera system the same as the Galaxy S21+.
Although there have been many rumours surrounding a Nokia 9 PureView replacement, the trail seems to have gone cold, instead suggesting that Nokia might launch a Nokia 8.3 replacement with five cameras - and possibly called the Nokia X50. This could have a 6.5-inch display, run Snapdragon 700 series hardware and have a 108-megapixel main camera. We're now looking at a 2022 launch.
The Huawei Mate 50 Pro is said to be huge, with a 7000mAh battery and a 6.8-inch display. It's said to be powered by the Kirin 9000, but we have doubts about Huawei's chip stock. Rumours are now suggesting a March 2022 launch.
