When it comes to smartphones, we’ve seen a lot of changes over the years. Each year’s new smartphone models have been more impressive than the last.
The introduction of new smartphones by major manufacturers has become an annual occasion to celebrate. While the specifications of new phones are kept under wraps, one thing is sure: Features continue to expand. From foldability to ultra-high-resolution cameras, here’s what you can already find on a few phones and what you’re likely to see in newer models.
Screens Continue to Grow in Size
There are numerous benefits to having a larger smartphone screen. You can enlarge fonts to improve readability or to maximize the viewing area while gaming or watching a movie.
The good news is that larger screens are increasingly becoming a standard feature on smartphones, giving users a viewing area that’s smaller than a tablet and is frequently referred to as a “phablet.”
Wireless Charging Simplifies Everyone’s Life
For smartphone users, forgetting a plug or a cord is common. Fortunately, increased wireless charging availability will change this in the not-too-distant future. With the help of wireless charging technology, you can quickly recharge your phone without a charging cable.
Designs Will Shave Bezels
Some smartphones’ bezel, or border, has started to disappear to maximize phone displays. This translates to a larger viewing area and a more sleek, seamless design.
Folding Phones Are a Thing, Again
Foldable phones are more than just a gimmick. They allow you to have the best of both worlds: a large screen and a pocket-sized, ultra-portable device. These phones update the convenience of flip phones with ultra-thin glass and flexible plastic.
Cameras Continue to Add Advanced Features
It’s easy to overlook how good smartphone cameras have become. With many devices now sporting multiple cameras, photo and video-making capabilities are improving. Multiple cameras enable smartphones to create a sense of depth, improve focus accuracy, and enable features like 3D augmented reality.
5G Options Will Grow
While 5G networks, the next generation of mobile broadband, have yet to reach every major city, you may already have access to this cutting-edge technology. You’ll need a 5G-capable phone to benefit from it. Once equipped, you’ll be able to communicate with cellular networks quickly and access exponentially faster download and upload speeds.
