Mobile phone business is one of the fastest growing areas. Next generation smartphones would be loaded with creative and interesting futuristic innovations which will provide flexibility to its users.
Smartphones will no longer be a voice and e-mail device. Users have access to thousands of applications which increase the productivity of a person. We will be connected with whatever is around us be it a smart watch, connected glasses, smart t-shirt, kitchen touch screen counters, car dashboards and lastly smartphones. Once smartphone becomes a connected device, it could eventually replace your PC and become the primary device for big screen gaming and Movie/TV watching. Biometrics in future would be used for security of smartphones. The Face Unlock feature on Android is one such feature. Finger print, optical or voice security will soon be replacing tapping in passwords on your smartphone screens. Few of these features have already been introduced but voice recognition systems are being developed.
Next Wave of Smartphone Innovation
As we transition into 5G network in future with faster connection and intelligent networks, it will be able to support billions of devices that make up the ‘Internet of Things’. Hence superfast intelligent mobile networks will play a crucial role in enabling our smartphones to become smarter. Modular smartphones will soon become a reality. A modular design will allow you to pick and choose the modules in order to create a customized phone. Google is driving the idea with hardware manufacturer like Motorola.
We can soon expect to see some smartphones with flexible screens in the near future. Samsung and LG have already come up with their prototypes. Wearable devices used for personal assistance will be powered by your smartphones. Wearable devices could include watches, smart glasses, smart belts, heart rate monitors or health related sensors. The smartphone will be the controlling unit of your wearable devices as it will provide power, storage and data connection.
next version of smartphone
The next version of iPhone will have battery made of organic materials and hence it can store more charge. The casing of iPhone is made with Liquid Metal. This innovative feature will make iPhone one of the strongest smartphones and this will protect the display of the device from being damaged if it accidently falls down. Samsung will soon be introducing smartphones with foldable OLED screens. This killer feature would give users the best of both worlds, a large screen size in a small form factor. Smartphone charging cables will soon be replaced with inductive charging technology. The phone just needs to be placed on a recharging pad to recharge it. Scientists are trying to create batteries that can charge smartphones in just 6 minutes. These batteries do not degrade rapidly over time and hence have a long life.
The cloud and artificial intelligence software integrated with smartphone will be next step towards the future. We can also think of contact lens phones, earring phones and even gold tooth phones. Smartphones remotely connect to almost anything now. Smartphone will be the only thing one needs for all his activities and business. It will not be long when a simple smartphone will be transformed into a mini computer.
