Motorola Moto Edge & Edge+ or Moto One 2020
Motorola is thought to be planning the launch of a new phone, under the name of Edge or perhaps Moto One 2020. Little is known about the device, except that it will launch on 23 February and that there will be a + version too. It's thought that this might be a new flagship grade phone, but we have few details apart from the name and that it will have a waterfall display and there will be a 5G version.
Nokia 8.2 5G
Nokia and Qualcomm have been talking up affordable 5G handsets based on the Qualcomm Snapdragon 7 Series hardware. We know they are coming but we don't know a lot more about what these phones will offer - besides faster connection speeds. HMD Global who makes Nokia phone was due to announce these devices at MWC 2020, but has withdrawn from the show because of the coronavirus situation. We suspect it will be called the Nokia 8.2 because that's a mid-range phone waiting to be upgraded - and we think it will run the Snapdragon 765.

LG V60 ThinQ
LG has been running the G and V lines for a number of years and the next device in line is thought to be the LG V60 ThinQ . According to one leak, this was due to be launched in Spring 2020, but following LG's withdrawal from Mobile World Congress, we don't know exactly when it will be announced. We're expecting this to be a big phone for media capture and there's a rumoured 5000mAh battery, which is huge.
In 2020, it looks like OnePlus is stepping up the pace, expect to announce the OnePlus 8 and OnePlus 8 Pro, as well as the OnePlus 8 Lite. Here is everything we have heard so far about the forthcoming OnePlus phones. The OnePlus 8 is one of the most anticipated phones of 2020. Thanks to an accidental early post by eCommerce site Giztop, we now know what to expect from 2020’s “Flagship Killer.”
Both the Snapdragon 865 and Dimensity 1000 support 5G connectivity, though the leaks make no mention of 5G support. As such, it is still unknown whether or not the OnePlus 8 family will be 5G-ready, but given OnePlus’s penchant for manufacturing “flagship killer” smartphones, 5G connectivity is still a possibility.
Despite MediaTek’s history of underwhelming SoCs, the Dimensity 1000 has shown itself to perform better than the Snapdragon 855 Plus in some benchmarks, at least according to early leaks. Perhaps the most surprising revelation is CPU powering the OnePlus 8 Lite, a cut-down version of the OnePlus 8. While the standard OnePlus 8 and OnePlus 8 Pro boast the flagship-level Qualcomm Snapdragon 865, the OnePlus 8 Lite opts for the MediaTek MTK Dimensity 1000.
