Today, Smartphones have become an essential facet of
our day to day lives. Since its very advent, the Smartphones have been widely
popular among the masses and the number has eventually increased from time to
time. In fact, today a Smartphone actively mitigates the voracious appetite of
the tech-savvy generation. Be it social networking, watching movies or browsing
official e-mails, by using a Smartphone now you can enjoy all these attributes even
on the go.
Now, the evident question that should arise in your
mind is what next. Though, it is quite difficult to predict with accuracy, but
still here in this write-up we will try to discuss on all those emerging trends
of the Smartphones, which you may experience in the upcoming days. Let’s have a
glance on few of them.
Near
Field Communication
Near field communication (NFC) generally implies to
a set of standards for Smartphones and all other related devices, which help to
form radio communication with each other. The communication can happen either
by bringing the devices near to each other or by touching them together.
NFC features with multiple applications like data
exchange, contactless transactions and many more. It is even being anticipated
that NFC will be able to offer a simple setup of intricate communications like Wi-Fi.
Augmented
Reality
You must have heard about this term “Augmented
Reality” (AR) many times. In computer technology, AR refers to the supplemented
view of the reality via various computer-generated sensory inputs like video,
sound, graphics and GPS data. And Smartphones are definitely one of the chief
mediums for the AR to function. Use the camera lens of your Smartphone and
point it anywhere; you will instantly get all the necessary information like
nearby eateries, cafes, etc.
Nowadays, most of the AR applications make full use
of the GPS to ease the process of location search and this trend is being
expected to enhance more in the near future. However, it’s only due to limited
recognition accuracy, this app is yet to spread in all the Smartphones. But we
can definitely expect to see more numbers in the upcoming days.
3D
Screens along with Holograms
Quite a few 3D Smartphones are currently available
in the market. It includes Samsung AMOLED 3D, LG Optimus 3D, Motorola MT810,
etc. But this is definitely not the end. In fact, we can say this is just the
beginning. In the coming years, we can certainly expect to see more, such as 3D
Smartphones along with holographic projections.
You must be aware of the fact that in the last
Mobile World Congress, several companies have already revealed about their
ongoing work on the holographic projections. According to the news, this new
projection system will enable the Smartphones to display 3D holograms in an
effective manner. It is even being expected that the 3D displays will also be
incorporated with elements of movement.
Integrated
Projector
Have you used the Samsung Galaxy Beam? If yes, then
you must be aware that this Smartphone features with an in-built DLP WVGA
projector, which has the capability of projecting all those Smartphones that are
up to 50 inches in size at 15 lumens. Thus, if you are someone who is planning
to use the Smartphone as an interactive gaming device in the forthcoming days,
then this incorporated projector will definitely come handy. You even do not need a TV screen for it as a
flat surface will solve the purpose.
What’s more, as a replacement of physical
controller, you can also start using both your body along with voice. A voice
control function and a camera will capture your voice commands and movements respectively
and in this way you can interact with all the objects on the projector screen
at ease.
Flexible
Screens
Now, this is definitely great news for all the movie
buffs out there. Very soon, the Smartphones are coming up with the whole new
flexible screens, which can be both folded as well as unfolded according to
your need. Now, you can definitely expect a bigger screen in your Smartphone,
where you can watch all the favorite movies of your choice. And all this will
be possible through the advanced Organic Light Emitting Diode technology. The
flexible screens will even allow you to use the Smartphones from both sides.
In fact, mobile companies like Nokia are now even
planning to launch wearable Smartphones. According to the reports, Nokia has
already started working on their brand new device Morph, which will enable you
to wear the Smartphone as a wristwatch.
