Many believe that smartphones have peaked, but there are still a lot of areas where they could improve. Here's what we'd love to see in the future.
From the likes of the iconic Nokia 3310 of the early 2000s to the latest Galaxy S22 Ultra of 2022, smartphones sure have come a long way. With so many believing that smartphone innovation has peaked, these modern handsets can sometimes seem boring.
However, we believe the best is yet to come; here are six features we want to see in future smartphones that will transform how we use them.
Graphene Battery
If there's one thing that almost all smartphone users complain about, it's battery life. Sure, your phone may have a 5000mAh battery, but it's still made from lithium-ion, which means it's going to degrade to the point of causing hassle in about three years anyway.
In correlation, graphene is a vastly improved material to make batteries since it's lighter, harder, more adaptable, more conductive, and has a higher limit. This implies slimmer telephones, longer battery duration, quicker charging, more slow debasement, and less overheating for customers.
We haven't seen a standard leader convey a graphene battery yet, however we truly do realize that Samsung has been dealing with the tech for some time now. In this way, there's space to accept that we might see a Samsung gadget accompany a graphene battery in the following couple of years.
Improved Under-Display Front Camera
We've already seen many smartphones come with an under-display camera, such as the Galaxy Z Fold 3, the ZTE Axon 30, and the Xiaomi Mix 4, but the tech is still far from being good enough for mainstream flagships.
At best, you can get shots that look somewhat usable (but still disappointingly blurry) under ideal lighting conditions, but in low-light or other challenging conditions, the image quality falls apart rather quickly.
Thus, to counter this limit, we utilize forceful picture handling calculations to hone the picture and cut the haze. In any case, a result of this workaround is that the possibilities of your selfie photographs and recordings investigating handled are likewise more noteworthy.
Programming alone can't compensate for equipment lacks; we really want to further develop show boards. Among different highlights that are set to vanish from leaders in the following couple of years, the front camera pattern is our desired one to see eliminated.
In addition to the front camera pattern necessities to go, yet additionally the jawline. Cell phone jaws exist on the grounds that the part that associates the showcase board to the motherboard sits at the base. You must've seen that financial plan and mid-range telephones frequently have enormous base bezels. Fortunately we definitely know the answer for this issue; the terrible news is that it's costly.
With the send off of the iPhone X in 2017, Apple showed how it figured out how to limit the base bezel by collapsing the showcase board once again into the actual gadget. Along these lines, the part that interfaces the presentation to the motherboard needn't bother with to be at the base yet rather sits behind it — giving the gadget an almost bezel-less look.
Despite the fact that Apple has taken out the base bezel, its top bezel keeps on looking prominent on the iPhone 13 series. That is the reason Android cell phones have more to acquire with this overhaul. With the base jawline gone and the front camera pattern eliminated, you can expect a wonderful, completely bezel-less presentation.
Over-the-Air Wireless Charging
We've expressed our disapproval towards wireless charging before because the tech doesn't deliver on its promise. The end goal of any battery tech is to relieve you of the stress of having to worry about your battery life, including the pain of charging it. In other words, a good battery makes you forget about it.
With the wireless charging tech that we have today, you still have to keep your phone in one place, i.e., the charging dock, for your device to draw juice. As soon as you pick up the device, the charging stops. Ideally, your phone should charge without you having to move.
Although we've already seen some companies, including Xiaomi and Motorola, demonstrate their true wireless charging prowess, the tech needs more time to become commercially available. Combined with a graphene battery, battery problems will be a thing of the past.
Less Bloatware
Pretty much every tech contraption accompanies bloatware. While iPhones and stock Android telephones offer clean programming, less expensive Android telephones have futile pre-introduced applications that take up your capacity and run behind the scenes to eat your battery.
Bloatware is quite possibly of the most conspicuous explanation Chinese telephones are so modest contrasted with other Android options. By allowing transporters to dump their applications in the product, OEMs can cut their edge on equipment — bringing about more prominent deals.
In the event that all you need is a decent arrangement while purchasing a spending plan telephone, bloatware is a passable aggravation; however it's totally unsatisfactory for mid-range telephones and leaders. We wish this issue vanishes at the earliest opportunity; the lesser the bloatware, the better.
Reduced Carbon Footprint
Talking tech is impossible without mentioning its adverse effects on the environment, and the smartphone industry is no stranger to this fact. Today, many tech giants have made it a part of their mission to reduce their carbon footprint by using recycled materials in the manufacturing process and rethinking the supply chain. And while that's a good initiative, it's not enough.
Close by utilizing more reused materials, we additionally need to make telephones more repairable and offer longer help for operating system refreshes. For example, Samsung presently offers four years of programming support for its 2021 and 2022 leaders which is a positive development. Be that as it may, it's still not even close to what Apple offers for its gadgets.
Current cell phones are now strong enough that you don't have to supplant them at regular intervals. Individuals frequently supplant their telephones because of the outdated battery, so you can supplant the battery to cause your telephone to feel new again without purchasing another one. Basically involving your telephone for longer is the most ideal way to limit your carbon impression.
The Best Is Yet to Come for Smartphones
Smartphones are one of, if not the fastest-growing technology of our times. Although it won't happen overnight, introducing the above features will push us into the next era of mobile technology: an age where phones can last for up to one whole week of use, are less harmful to the planet, have a truly uninterrupted display, and offer a seamless software experience.
