Quick Summary
One of the most interesting phones of 2026 won't be coming from any of the traditional brands.
Instead, gaming handheld company Ayaneo will be introducing the Pocket Play – an Android handset with slide-out controls, much like the decades-old Sony Ericsson Xperia Play.
With Apple set to release its first foldable iPhone and Samsung reportedly toying with new foldable form factors, 2026 could be an intriguing year for mobile devices. We also don't yet know what the likes of Nothing, Google and Huawei could have up their sleeves.
