No doubt, in few years we will have a more humanistic relationship with our phones. The future phones will rely more on integrating our physical lives with our digital lives. We have seen many smartphone inventions in last few years. But they are nothing in front of the below phone technologies! Yes, you heard it right. Let’s meet the future phones with folding, charging over thin air, the 9-lens camera, fingerprint inside screen and lot more unimaginable inventions coming right within few years!
Meet the Future Phones – What do You Think Phones will Look Like in Future?
Folding Phones
Imagine if you can fold your phone as much as you want, fold it up partially to make calls or unfold it when you want get access to the screen. Yes. The latest battle is in the field of flexible displays and foldable smartphones. Foldable phones are an interesting concept to explore, but work got started on them nearly a decade ago, and lots have changed since then. Folding smartphones concept was designed by Kyocera envisioned with its EOS phone, but now you’ll find more patents than concepts over the past few years by Samsung, LG and several other companies. Rumors are that Samsung is most likely to release the first foldable smartphone in this year. But still, we feel that it’s just a rumor!
Charge the Phone Over Thin Air
Nowadays, we have Qualcomm Quick Charge, Dash Charge, and some other great technologies. But still, the batteries are the biggest problem in the smartphones as they are limited by power. The next technology that seems to be released soon is, no matter whether you’re plugging a cable into your device or laying it on top of a wireless charging pad, your phone can start charging using the air! Already Nikola lab has invented a way to keep the smartphones charged using a phone case that converts the energy of radio frequencies (RF) into direct current (DC) electricity.
Insane 9-Lens Camera Phone
Nowadays, smartphone cameras can do surprising things, however, they are starting to reach some hard physical limits. What if your phone can take amazing quality photos with 9 cameras with lens by covering the back of the phone with a collection of small lenses that can shoot concurrently! The Washington Post recently got its hands on one of these insane phones. And the most distinguishing feature is that it has up to nine camera lenses on the back. The Post reports this 9 camera setup will allow the phone to capture 64-megapixel shots. Most camera phones these days capture just 12-MP shots.
Fingerprint Inside the Screen
The development of faster and accurate fingerprint readers led to the creating of innovative ways of unlocking your smartphone. The fingerprint phones are now ubiquitous. Fingerprint sensors are placed in home buttons, mounted on the rear of mobile phones and even placed on the side beneath the home button of handsets.
Recent rumors report that smartphone makers embed the fingerprint reader inside the screen. This development also means that there is a future where we might get to see smartphones with their entire displays being covered by the sensor. So with this technology, you can place your finger anywhere to unlock your smartphone immediately.
And who knows what kind of innovation could lead us in future? We hope, we might get to see the above type of smartphone inventions as soon as possible.
