Mobile phones have come a long way and they have continuously evolved to the changing times. Smartphone technology has replaced every tool we use from clocks to calculators and more.
Smartphone manufacturers are working tirelessly to improve and enhance their use and safety. Here are five interesting things that will shape the future of mobile technology. Read on to see what smartphones will look like in the coming years.
Heightened Privacy Apps
It’s no secret that the internet is full of data brokers who gather and track your location, activities and have sensitive information such as your medical history and sell it to advertisers.Data is the new gold and its paramount that you protect yours.
Safeguarding your personal information can be achieved through a variety of ways such as installing apps that stop iphone from being tracked, having trusted password managers apps, avoiding third party apps stores and monitoring your phone’s performance.
No Sim cards
While sim cards have significantly become smaller, we still hate inserting one on a phone. Technology giants like Apple and Samsung are working on new phone models that do not require SIM cards. Travel lovers will have bliss with the programmable SIM cards.
Programmable sims will replace traditional sim cards. You will be able to switch between network providers without the hustle of requesting a new SIM card. The innovation is already in motion and could be available as early as 2025.
Artificial Intelligence
Technology giants are investing heavily in Artificial Intelligence. Apple and Google are at the forefront of building phones with more AI capabilities. You will use AI on your phone for more than facial recognition.
The Pixel 8 from Google has features like AI photo editors that allow users to resize photos and even alter facial expressions. You will also have a handy assistant with the new Google assistant with Bard.
AI assistants will summarize emails for you, picking up the important points. You can also use the virtual helper to write social media captions for your videos and photos.
NanoTech batteries
One of the most annoying parts of owning a smartphone is charging it. Thanks to nanotech, we can see a future where we don’t need to spend too much time charging our phones. An Israeli tech company Storedot showcased a customized Samsung Galaxy S5 with a nano-technology using a battery that charges from 0 to 100 in less than a minute.
Scientists are said to have stumbled on this groundbreaking discovery when working on a cure for Alzheimer’s. They learned that Peptide molecules that are responsible for the disease, have a uniquely high capacitance. Thus, they are perfect for storing energy.
Scientists are still working on developing this technology that will make charging easier.
Photonic Crystal Displays
Scientists are looking for more options when it comes to smartphone displays. While OLED and LCDs have more capabilities and colors, they do not adapt well to changing light. You could have a smartphone you can use in daylight without having to adjust the light and brightness.
The Photonic crystal displays contain nanostructures that adapt and modify depending on the amount of light in the room.
Other notable mobile technology changes include.
- 5G capabilities
- Virtual reality
- Augmented reality
- Foldable screens
- Holographic displays
Conclusion
Mobile phones will keep evolving to match the changing technology. You get more capabilities with every innovation. The future mobile phones promise more security features and efficiency.
