The in-display fingerprint sensor has also gone mainstream in 2019, where, smartphone makers like Xiaomi, Oppo, Vivo, and Realme have already launched smartphones with an in-display fingerprint sensor for less than Rs. 20,000 price tag. Do note that, a phone needs to have an OLED display to incorporate an in-display fingerprint sensor, which also improves the overall smartphone usage experience.

5G

Though we are yet to see a 5G smartphone in India, companies like Xiaomi, OnePlus, LG, and Samsung have already launched smartphones with 5G capabilities in Europe, US, South Korea, and China. It is speculated that the 5G smartphones will debut in India by the end of 2019.
