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.

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.
