Tech | Five Smartphone Trends That Will Go Mainstream This 2018
A great year for the mobile industry has
passed, innovations are everywhere. From each area of the smartphones, there’s
something new to look forward to. Tech companies developed different
technologies to make user experience better and better, from displays,
batteries, cameras and more. Here are five trends that are likely to go
mainstream in 2018:
1. Taller, slimmer and less bezelly screens
The newest formula for a gorgeous phone is
18:9 ratio screen less the bezels on all four sides. The 18:9 ratio or 2:1 also
means that phones are easier to hold in slimmer but taller screens, you can get
to enjoy big screen without exhausting your hands on big phones. Phones like
Samsung Galaxy S8, LG V30+ and OnePlus 5T has 18:9 ratio screen with minimal
bezels.
2. Two days battery life
It’s already common to charge your phone
everyday and so is bringing a powerbank with you. This scenario may look like a
norm and stylish-compact power banks are available but this will always still
look awful as it is. A situation that needs a attention from the experts:
batteries aren’t enough. On previous years, smartphones with 4000MAH or
estimated of two-day heavy use battery life starts to sell out in the market
like Asus Zenfone 4 Max and Xiaomi Mi Max 2.
3. Wireless, charging and audio
Taking out all the wires in smartphone
accessories and essentials is another trend that could go mainstream. Annoying
twirls of wires will never look pretty and the direction of wireless technology
is now taking the mobile phone charging. Wireless earphones is another reason
why audio jacks are becoming extinct. Glassbuild phones like in iPhone 8,
iPhone 8 Plus, iPhone X, Samsung Galaxy S8, Samsung Galaxy Note8 and many more
are few examples of handsets that supports wireless charging.
4. Face unlocking security
Face unlock is likely to become common this
year. Aside from it could be a great marketing gimmick because it’ cool, Apple
made the technology famous thru iPhone X. Other available smartphones that has
face recognition include OnePlus 5T, Vivo V7 and LG Q6.
5. Dual Camera
When one will never be enough, ever.. like in cameras
of smartphones--front and back. Dual camera is now the trend to have. The two
cameras can be in color management (monochrome, RGB) or scene coverage
(standard, wide-angle). Either way, both will take your mobile photography to
the next level with greater depth of field, better color contrast or wider
angle shots. Few handsets that feature dual camera includes Huawei Nova 2i,
Xiaomi MiA1 and Samsung Galaxy J7 Plus
