Smartphones improved a lot in the past one decade and many innovative features were added to smartphones. Few features made their way to 2021 whereas most of them just become gimmicky. The use of AI helped in enhancing the software experience of a smartphone, and hardware is already at the limit. So, what can you expect from new smartphones? Will there be anything innovative?
You might have heard that LG stopped their smartphone lineup in 2021 and they are quitting this business as they are not getting many sales. But, LG did a great job of introducing features like Capacitive Touch, Dual Camera and many more which are currently available in every smartphone. Hence, you can say that every new feature isn't always gimmicky.
According to experts and credible sources, Smartphone manufacturers are working on new ideas to create smartphones much more interesting for tech lovers. Here is a list of top 5 smartphone trends that you can find in the upcoming 5 years –
1. High-refresh rate display
As One Plus introduced users with a 90Hz refresh rate display, most smartphone manufacturers started copying it. This feature might not seem impressive but in person, if you use any smartphone which can go up to 120 Hz then you can notice the difference.
A high-resolution 120Hz display performs better and provides an excellent gaming experience. Browsing apps, games and social media feels great with a high-refresh-rate. According to experts, we can see 144Hz displays in upcoming smartphones and most manufacturers will follow the same path. Mi mobiles offer such a high refresh rate, therefore you can buy these smartphones.
2. Under the display Front camera
The screen to body ratio or small bezel become the quirky feature after its first introduction in 2017. Most smartphones are focusing on creating devices that can offer a 95% or more screen to body ratio. Small bezels provide more display to browse content with ease and it also feels fascinating.
Many smartphones offer small hole-punch cameras but there is still some amount of visible bezel. So, we can expect smartphones with under-the-display cameras in the upcoming future. The problem with the under-the-display camera is with camera quality. A few manufacturers have released such devices but the camera quality is poor and unacceptable for now. In the upcoming days, we can expect better quality with more polished features. Opting for a Mi phone under 10000 is an excellent idea as they offer great camera specs.
3. No Charging Port
By introducing a wireless magnetic charger in iPhone 12, Apple feels quite confident in removing the charging port of their smartphone. The key thing is, what is the benefit of removing the charging port? Well, it can help manufacturers sealing smartphones with more efficiency and getting better IP rating.
Using a smartphone under 20 feet is acceptable with an IP68 rating. But, removing the charging port can get rid of every hole which can help water to let in. Apple gets rid of the 3.5mm audio jack with their iPhone 7 and never brought this feature back in their devices. The trend continued and if Apple did the same thing with the charging port, chances are higher that other brands will follow the trend for sure.
4. Foldable Screen
Samsung offered their foldable smartphone in 2019 and changed the perspective of every tech company in terms of innovation. Most companies are trying hard to come up with ideas to create better-folding smartphones. The current issue with folding devices is a visible crease in the centre.
Folding the device completely isn't possible yet but we can expect better foldable displays which will have no crease. A foldable screen is better for people who want a smartphone with large screens. The small footprint of a foldable device makes things better for such a user base.
5. Super-Fast wireless charging
Wireless charging is getting popular in the mid-range segment and making its way to affordable smartphones also. It won’t be shocking if we find a Mi phone under 10000 with a wireless charging feature in the upcoming days. But for now, we can expect a super-fast wireless charging feature in most smartphones in the upcoming five years.
One Plus has introduced their new flagship 9 Pro model with 50W wireless charging. Getting super-fast wireless charging will take things to the next level. Brands like Apple are not taking much interest in fast charging because charging a battery at a faster rate can decrease the battery lifespan and overheat your device also. So, we can expect better batteries that can handle more voltage without heating.
Conclusion
This list of five smartphone trends is based on analysis by experts, facts and the current trend. We can’t claim how many of these trends will be there by 2025, but most of the features will continue for sure. Brands like Apple are considered premium and other companies follow their trend also. So, you can wait for iPhone 13 launch in 2021 and check our prediction related to the charging jack.
