Do you remember the time when we used a big phone to communicate with people and we couldn’t bring the phone anywhere? We now have smartphones that can be taken anywhere, even in the pocket, and that can do many things that were previously impossible.
As smartphones have undergone iterative updates, today's smartphones feature powerful processors, high-quality cameras, and a variety of new features. In spite of this, even with iterative updates, the smartphone will have greater functionality than today's phones.
It is impossible to achieve perfect technology overnight, and smartphone technology has made huge improvements over the last few years, but it still needs years to be perfect.
The question we have sought to answer is: what will happen to smartphone technology in the next decade? What is going to change or come in the next decade?
Buttons and Ports
When button phones with small displays were the only kind of phones available, smartphones emerged with big displays without any buttons. However, some buttons and ports are still present in smartphones, including a charging port and an on/off power button.
If you own an updated flagship phone, you will find that there is no headphone jack and it is expected that smartphones won't have any ports or buttons after 2030. It is possible that even headphones with jacks might disappear in the future.
In 2012, Nokia 920 introduced wireless charging, but it gained prominence after the iPhone 8 released in 2017. Wireless charging uses electromagnetic induction to provide electricity to portable devices. By 2030, we won't see any charger ports in smartphones, as this technology is already being used in many of them.
No Sim Card Slots
The network is one of the most important functions of any phone, without which we cannot access the internet, send messages, or make calls. In order to activate this function on our smartphone, it is necessary to have a SIM card.
Emergency SOS via satellite is a new feature on the iPhone 14. It lets you send an emergency response text message when you are outdoors and not connected to a Wi-Fi network. However, this is just the beginning, and most smartphones will incorporate this feature within this decade. The day will come when we will see a smartphone that will be fully connected with the satellite without using a SIM card.
Eye Control Screen
Wouldn't it be great if you could control your smartphone with your eyes? For example a phone browser will scroll automatically when you look beneath it. Likewise, if you look at any app for a specific period of time, the app will open automatically.
Augmentative and Alternative Communication (AAC) is a technology already available which lets individuals with disabilities control computers using their eyes instead of using a keyboard, mouse, etc.
Augmentative technology is only available in computers and also at primary level. This feature is also included in Microsoft Windows 10 and 11, but few people are aware of it. In our opinion, this will be a wonderful function that will allow people to experiment with new ways to use their phones.
Super Slim Smartphone
The smartphone of today is not only more powerful, but also thinner and more fashionable. Today's cell phone is called a smartphone, and in the future it could be called a slim phone or thin phone, which will be thinner and smarter than the current phone.
In the near future, we won't be surprised to see a cell phone screen that bends and works everything perfectly. It must be important to develop tiny parts and display a soft and very thin size in order to create a slim phone.
Smart Home
Smart homes are already a popular topic among tech enthusiasts. A smart home is a home that can be controlled by your smartphone, such as opening the door, turning on or off the light, changing the fan's speed, or controlling any device in the room.
The smart home is a new trend that is only being used by the rich at the moment. Nevertheless, it has not yet reached a point where all people will have access to it.
What is the future of Smartphones?
It is only the future that can answer this question. We can only aspire to something great, but the future depends on demand and iterative development. Technology changes constantly, so no device becomes permanent as new models or totally new something come out with greater advantages.
Conclusion
Since mobile technology is constantly evolving, cell phone parts are becoming smaller, causing the device to become thinner as well. Most flagship phones now come with larger, more powerful cameras that help us capture every moment perfectly. LCD displays have been replaced by OLED displays bringing a lot of advantages, and who knows what happens in the future when a new display will be invented.
There is always an unpredictable future and a trend that may change at any moment. The smartphone technology is improving so rapidly that it's hard to predict the future.
