The future of smart phones

The technology provided by mobile smart phones has begun to replace other activities that users were doing, so that reliance on them in all areas and all aspects of life has become an issue that cannot be abandoned.
Smartphones have gained wide popularity in the past few years, especially after the advent of touch screens that made the process of using the phone very easy. This development of the phone made it more than just a wireless communication tool for making calls, and it became an ideal companion for every user, and its window to enter the vast world of the Internet.

However, although all the features that the phone contains now, were in the past a thing of imagination, there are things that we consider imaginary now, will become a reality in the future, thanks to the rapid and tremendous development witnessed by the telecommunications sector, will change with it again the function of the phone.
The most prominent predictions of what will be mobile phones in the future:

– The shape of the phone will change in the future, and it will not be a plastic piece, as it is now, because it will have flexible, glass, transparent and foldable designs, or even it will be possible to wear it like a ring on the finger.

– The phones of the future will be equipped with superior specifications, professional cameras, and batteries that do not run out. It will be provided with security features that protect it from hacking and hacking.

Future phones will rely on 3D technology to display the image, similar to what we see in real life.

– In the near future, smartphones will be indispensable for an electric socket to charge them, as it will be sufficient to expose their screen to direct sunlight, to charge the battery immediately.

– In the future, mobile phones will be more capable of self-understanding, analyzing the environment around us, giving us detailed information about everything that is around us, and highlighting information that may interest each user according to his interests. Future mobile phones will be able to adjust the way information is broadcast to suit you, prioritizing the news that matters to you.

– The function of future phones wills not only be to store and retain data to be recalled when needed, but the phone will turn into a digital record of the events, places and experiences that you go through. The phone will save all this information even if you don't need it, allowing you to refer to it when necessary.

Future phones will be the only means of payment, and will replace credit cards. Although this method is widespread in the current period, it will be safer and more reliable.

– Future phones will help its user to better understand the world around him, because they will be able to translate what he says in real time and without any delay, whatever language you speak, into any other language and vice versa.

Phones will interact more with reality, and will communicate with all the devices owned by the user, such as the car and the house with all its contents. The phones of the future will also interact with the devices that monitor the vital activity of the body, and give detailed reports to the user about his health condition.
Foldable screens and possibly roll up
Perhaps one of the most important developments in the world of phones recently is the appearance of the Samsung Galaxy Fold in 2019, and although the phone suffered from many problems that are difficult to count, it proved that the idea of ​​foldable phones is not far from possible. And quickly followed by a host of other foldable phones.

Recently, the second version of the Fold phones was launched in addition to the Z Flip, which folds similarly to the old phones. Although none of the phones with foldable screens is a prevalent phone today, the technology is successful so far and most likely will play a big role in the future with the continued ambition for phones with larger screens, but without sacrificing portability in the pocket.

MicroLED technology

In today's phones there are only two basic options for phone screens: cheap LCD screens that offer high durability and long life but their color representation and contrast are poor. In contrast, OLED, which offers bright colors, perfect contrast, and an unparalleled viewing experience, is less durable, costs a lot and suffers from burn-in problems over time.

Fortunately, there is an upcoming technology that could solve it completely: MicroLED, as this technology offers the benefits of both LCD and OLED together, and its only drawback is the very high price. But with the development of technology to suit phones, their cost will decrease and become an important competition in smart phones of the upper class, at least.
Augmented reality
Over the recent years, the state of augmented reality technology has been very volatile in reality, as it has been thrilled on many occasions without becoming a truly widespread reality, as it is still limited to very narrow areas and a few applications that benefit from it only at the present time.

In the future, augmented reality technology will play a greater role in the world of smartphones, especially with the increased focus on artificial intelligence and customized hardware that will help these technologies to thrive even more.

Health Features

Since now smartphones can be relied on for many health features in fact, they are able to provide an excellent place to track physical activity, health status, weight, diet and many other things. But by relying on wearable technology on the one hand, and cooperation with health organizations, smartphones will play a greater role in health in the future.

Since now, the major smartphone companies are working to include more health features, each of which provides health-specific applications, and in some cases as Apple is working to add features such as the user's complete medical history to the phone so that health applications provide an alternative to the usual medical records and help provide better health care for users, especially in emergency cases.

Focus on services more than hardware

So far, phone companies are still making the bulk of the money selling the hardware itself, but the next future will focus on services and the integrated environment in the first place. This can be seen from Apple’s continuous efforts to provide more paid services to its users, while there are similar efforts from other companies such as Google and its integration for Android and Chrome OS, as well as Samsung, which has been collaborating with Microsoft for years to provide a more unified environment that allows the user base to benefit from hardware as potential users of various services.
