Future Smartphones Features

What is the future of things that are know known as smartphones? Strange question. And of course, no perfect answer can be given at present. No guess even. Smartphone's industries such as Apple, Samsung etc. are progressing so rapidly. The smartphone phenomena hit the market around twenty years ago. And that time has passed when people used it for two way communication. Nowadays, these phones provide us with a number additional features such as HD Camera and other media options. Thats why smartphone industry is rocking these days. An imaginary snapshot of future flexible smarter phone is shown. Samsung has talked about this kind of displays.  
 

Coming to the meat of write-up, what is being expected from these smartphones in the next decade. This is a hard thing since guess may go wrong here. Anyhow, some predictions can be made on the basis of trends of development. Below is the list of few features expected from smartphone industry in the near future.

Augmented Reality(AR): 

Augmented reality refers to a technology which is in short like our sense of sight. This technology will give mobile the ability to see. Whenever, you point your phone's camera in a specific direction, the phone will tell you about hotels, hospitals, restaurants etc. in that direction and who knows it may involve information about them.

Since smartphones are portable,  this feature provide sound foundation for augmented reality. This is easy to just take out your phone, point it in a specific direction and get the information which otherwise you have yo take by calling restaurant etc

.

This feature will use Global Positioning System to simplify location searches. Hopefully, it would be the one of the most used applications in the future.

Organic Light Emitting Diode:

OLED or organic light emitting diode is also one of the future features. Very soon it will be possible for phones to provide us larger displays to play our favorite games or to watch our favorite movie. It will also be possible to fold or unfold the phone owing to OLED technology. Samsung has talked about this kind of displays.

 OLED although not available yet is a promising technology as it will enable us to see from both sides of the display and also it will be flexible.



Wearable Smartphones:

Smartphone industries are looking to transform the smartphones into kind of wearable things. This will make them even smarter. For example Nokia is directing research into this project and on their concept which they are calling as Morph.

Google is not behind others. Google is talking about smart glasses. And of-course, Apple the leading and famous industry is also paying heed to this project. Apple is talking about iWatch. 

Smartphone Projectors: 

If however we are not satisfied with  flexible displays, then why not convert our smartphones into smart projectors and project on say for example on a wall. That is the idea upon which Samsung is working on. The Samsung Galaxy Beam had a built in Digital Light Projector(DLP) which can project up to 50 inches.
This idea is a great one because in this way smartphones can be transformed into a kind of gaming consoles without TV screens at all. All you need is a plain wall. And instead of remote control, you can give directions with your voice and body movements.This is very similar to Kinect.

Artificial Intelligence: 

Artificial Intelligence is also a subject of great interest. After Apple launched Siri , a lot of attention is being paid towards this subject. Voice control however was present in the mobiles for many years, but it was not good. Previous systems detected sound commands by sound waves. However, Apple's Siri recognizes sound in a similar fashion as we recognize it. In the future phones such voice control seems to be a viable goal. That, combined with gestures may bring new experiences for smartphone users.

Improved Displays: 

Apple's Retina Display provides sharper resolution than what the human eye sees. Mobile companies are nowadays moving from 2D to 3D displays. Presently, we have 3D displays such as in LG Optimus 3D, Samsung AMOLED 3D. But what comes after 3D? It is expected that future smartphones may have in built Holographic Projectors. Such kinds of displays are the feature of futuristic phones.


It goes without saying that these features seems incredibly awesome. But how soon we'll get used to these features, is the next question.
