Will They Ever Get Outdated? The Future Of Smartphones!

A cell phone allows you to make phone calls and send text messages. Smartphones do many additional performances such as browsing the Internet, and running various programs of music, movies, games, cameras, etc., as are done on a PC. 

Just like a desktop or laptop, smartphones are any one of the four most commonly used Operating systems (OS) such as Apple (iOS), Android (Created by Google), BlackBerry (Created by Research), and Windows Phone (Created by Microsoft). Smartphones use touch screens that allow users to interact with others. Many apps run on smartphones, including games, business, and personal use. Shop Now on T-Mobile

As is done by different phone companies, the versions of operating systems are changed periodically and are designated as “generation.” But, the OS cannot be changed; for instance, the OS of Apple cannot be used on an Android phone.

An obvious question arises about how long you need to hold your smartphone. Of course, it is not a matter of physical age. Rather, the updating concerns the capabilities of the phone the kind of software used.

Convenience-Accustomed

People have become so tech-oriented that they need convenience even at the cost of their hard-earned money. Take, for instance, the voice-oriented Artificial Intelligence Assistants. People need services of such assistant just for ordering food for your launch or any specific occasion. 

Can you think about when such perceived convenience will be outdated? Time is not far off when catching hold of something physical in your hand will be obsolete in such an eventuality. The recent innovation in technology is almost sure to bring such a scenario into reality.

Present Status of Smartphone Industry 

Not a single industry, large or small, is affected adversely by the global pandemic, COVID 19, and the smartphone is no exception. As per statistics revealed by International Data Corporation, the shipment of smartphones is expected to drop by 10% year over year in 2020. 

As people are expecting the arrival of 5G, the penetration is in an increasing trend. But the decline in sales for the current smartphones could be attributable to the high saturation of the market in matured market and the slowing down in the smartphone industry’s growth as a whole.

Compensating Strategy 

Taking advantage of the craze of the people, the smartphone companies are increasing the prices of newly marketed products without adding any real incentive to the same. At the same time, customers are not financially prepared to spend the extra buck without any significant innovations, new technology, or any new technology. 

Despite its present sluggishness, years of homogeneity have put the smartphone industry to a standstill. Some companies, such as Apple, have three main products: PC, tablets, and smartphones. 

Recently, it has announced that it is getting transformed into a digital service provider. It needs a serious overview to consider if smartphones will ever be outdated in such a scenario. How long will the “G” factor work?

Alternative Technology

People like and accept smartphone technology because of mobility, functionality, and processing. The “G” factor allows the company to add new technology, and the customers get new technology that they long for. Immediately after releasing of 4G, they wait anxiously for 5G. 

We cannot think smartphones be obsolete because that would imply that smartphones will disappear suddenly, giving place to new technology. Any other device cannot perform the facilities rendered by the smartphone; therefore, the addition of different versions may stop at some point but not outdating. There may be next-generation technologies for something wearable. Apple, Microsoft, and FaceBook are all working on surpassing the technology of smartphones. 

Digitalized World

With the convergence of the digital world into physical spaces and the augmentation of the human body with technology, there will be no need for devices handled externally. The latest efforts of Tesla, Apple, Facebook, and Google for virtual reality and Artificial Intelligence stand evidence to the no handheld devices.

An example is the Magic Leap having a handset coupled with calculating power through a small disc but is expected to be replaced by a brain computing sensor for the interface. The experience transformation shortly is 5G, brain-machine interface, and   Artificial Intelligence. The following are some future transformations:

1: Integrated Bio Chips

To not have physical objects confining the visual image within the boundaries, Microsoft and Apple are using EEG to integrate smartphones with neural lace.

2: Wearables

The current wearable technology is dependent on host smartphones for gaining functionality and processing. Since mobile technology is becoming more integrated and less imposing in our lives, smartphones will be replaced in functionality and form by computing wearables that are integrated.

3: Wearable Bracelets

This is an innovation in wearable and foldable displays. It will act as a mobile computing device. Samsung makes another innovation. Here, the integrated ecosystem of connected devices will exhibit functionalities such as 5G and Artificial Intelligence. for replacing the singular host idea of smartphones. This will lead to interconnected smart devices without any host smartphone.

4: Foldable Screen Smartphone

It was initially envisaged to evolve a foldable screen smartphone into devices like bracelets. This would act as a hybrid of a wearable and a phone. Subsequently, it would take up various forms and functionality. Theoretically, these tiny devices with power like holograms and Artificial Intelligence will perform more advanced tasks than provide connectivity.

5: Brain-Machine Interface 

The keyboard called QWERTand touch screen technology has improved the customer experience. Smartphones transfer your thought and requests to the processing unit. When fully developed, a Brain-Machine will replace the phones as you would not be required to touch any device physically.

6: Sweeping the Existence of Smartphones

By the year 2030, the innovations brought out in the technologies will sweep over the existence of smartphone devices held physically by hand. This would provide better mobility, connectivity, and increased processing powers when coupled with improved connectivity through XG (Next generation) capabilities. It will have the computing power of the Human Brain-AI and advanced wireless capabilities.

Conclusion!

Before considering if they will ever be outdated, imagine placing an order on a Machine Man for chili chicken and a Robot delivering the same at your home.
