The evolution of smartphones has been quite fast and exciting. Each year, smartphone manufacturers release models that have new features and better specs. From the trends, it has become a bit easy to predict the features that we are likely to see in smartphones soon. Some of these features are highlighted below.

Augmented Reality

Augmented reality is a technology through which the smartphone will be able to offer more information in a more realistic way, somewhat close to how we perceive things in real life. For example, you will be able to use the smartphone camera to get information overlay of an object by just pointing it to the object. Having to go online and search for information will be a thing of the past.

Flexible Screens

It is quite common for smartphone screens to break. Even for the high-end smartphones which have all kinds of screen protective features, the problem is still there. Flexible displays will be used to solve this problem. With that, it will also be possible to enjoy bigger screens without necessarily having to walk around with big smartphones. This is because you will be able to fold your smartphone into a smaller size that can fit well in your pocket and unfold it to enjoy a larger screen whenever you wish to use it.

Inbuilt Projector

In the near future, you will not have to pass your phone around for everyone to see maybe that funny video clip that you just got. Instead, all you will have to do is switch on the inbuilt projector and point it to a wall or flat surface for everyone to see. With this feature, you can even turn your smartphone into a gaming console without having to use a television. There is also a possibility of hologram projection, which will allow you to enjoy a 3D experience.

Security

Security is one of the smartphone features that have to be improved in the future. Currently, security features include the use of passwords, fingerprints, and facial recognition. Retinal scanning is likely to be the next security feature used to unlock smartphones. It is more accurate, very fast and almost impossible to fool. This means that you will be able to store any information in your smartphone without having to worry about it getting into the wrong hands.

Wireless Charging Systems

Battery life is another major problem faced by smartphone users. To solve it, wireless charging that uses radio waves will be introduced. This means that your phone will constantly be charging, given that radio waves are always around us all the time. You will never have to worry about your phone running out of charge.
