Today’s modern smartphones have become so advanced that they are slowly taking over the place of a personal computer.
There is no doubt that technology is constantly advancing. Technology has certainly proved to be a boon for the mankind. Let us talk particularly about mobile phones.
Gone are the days when mobile phones were used only to make and receive calls, today modern mobile phones—smartphones—have become so advanced that they are slowly taking the place of a personal computer.
As per the current scenario, the smartphone has evolved into the slimmest version of itself, featuring bling and every advanced feature that you can possibly want or need.
So, what does the future have in store for us when it comes to smartphone innovations? We take a closer look at 11 upcoming smartphone innovations.
Dual Recording
Topping the list is the innovation called ‘Dual Recording’.
With this innovation, you are able to record a video using your smartphone’s front and back camera simultaneously. The technology is expected to become a reality much sooner as compared to other technologies as different companies are already working on this.
Flexible Screens
Flexible screens have been one of the hottest topics in the mobile industry for quite a while.
Even though smartphone screens are fantastic as they are right now, it seems the need for having flexible screens exists. One of the key reasons behind its necessity is the fact that flexible screens are extremely resistant to damage.
Contextual Intelligence
Yes, there is a reason why smartphones are called smart, but they are not all-knowing.
In the next couple of years, you may see your mobile phones making decisions on your behalf. Devices will be acquainted with how your tasks should be done using their sensors that accrue data from your surroundings.
Retina Scanning
A future smartphone soon won’t require a lock/unlock button. It will be replaced by retina scanning technology.
Yes, you read that right. Almost every smartphone manufacturing company is diligently working on retina scanning technology that will soon be capable of scanning your iris to lock and unlock your smartphone.
Coming advancements will be much more helpful than fingerprint readers. One of the best benefits that retina scanning can offer is that this biometric technique cannot be reproduced.
Since passwords are no longer considered a safe enough option, retina scanning technology will surely be valued equally by tech lovers and smartphone owners alike.
Smartphone Storage
We all come across frustrating storage issues at some point of time. What if you didn’t have to worry about storage issues?
For this to become reality, smartphones will depend on cloud technology for the storage and transfer of favorite photos, videos, or other crucial documents.
Users can obtain 100 GB of cloud storage and easily execute these transfers over a 3G, 4G/LTE, or a Wi-Fi connection. Sufficient internal smartphone storage will be built-in, but 64 GB or more storage space may soon just be barely enough for in-phone apps and other key smartphone components.
Improved GPS
Are you one of those people who doesn’t trust location-based services?
If so, the future may have something in store for you. Soon, we’ll experience more accurate GPS systems that are measured to the closest centimeter. High precision will be ensured with the use of tiny receivers installed in smartphones that will play an imperative role in maintaining accuracy when communicating with satellites.
In addition, these GPS systems will certainly make things easier each and every time you search for things—done by providing simulated 3D environments. This technology will have great implications for VR technology as well.
Photocromic iCars
Apple products are playing a pivotal role in our daily lifestyle, whether it is music—take wireless AirPods for example—television, or social interactions. What’s missing? An Apple Car.
We could witness a vehicle that is shaped just like an Apple Mouse. True to iMac’s candy-colored revolution, there’s one model that could come equipped with photocromic materials, enabling the car to simply change colors as chameleons do.
If this car sounds like a must-have addition in your life, there’s an Apple contact number to fill you in on further details.
From Surface to Touchscreen
In the coming years, smartphones can be equipped with an integrated laser that transforms any flat surface into a touchscreen.
Project your favorite videos and images on your walls. Transform smooth tabletop surfaces into keyboards, musical instruments, and engaging touchscreens. The opportunities seem endless, right?
Wireless Charging
Wireless charging technology is already used in today’s smartphones, but expect it to become even more refined. The best part of wireless charging is that you no longer have to deal with the issue of untangling—let alone breaking or losing—smartphone charger cables.
Updated smartphone technology looks to improve the overall concept of electromagnetic induction.
Voice Control
Without a doubt, touch screens will only prove to be more essential in smartphones.
In the upcoming decade, smartphone users will discover more intuitive voice controls with the ability to handle all device commands–answering a call, any information requests, shutting ringer on and off, music playback, and app booting.
Longer Battery Life
With the help of developing technologies, future power cells could last up to weeks without the need to be charged. Keep your eye on hydrogen cell and lithium-ion microbatteries tech innovations.
Lithium-ion batteries are more powerful than Li-ions and, above all, they can be charged instantaneously. Experts say they are powerful enough to jump-start a dead car battery as well.
