The evolution of phones has been swift and smartphones are changing everyday. It is moving so fast that even the technology frontiers can hardly tell which is the latest smartphone in the moment. But what should we expect to see in the development of smartphones in the next five to ten years? Here are some features for smartphones that may become the focal points for development in the near future.
1. Flexible Screens
I think everyone has already heard of it. Flexible screens are using electronic paper technology to make bendable displays which allow the smartphone to bear external force. And since it all makes of plastic, it has better durability compared with ordinary phones.In other words, this smartphone display reduces the chance your screen being smashed when you drop it.

2.Transparent Screens
Transparent screens are challenging the technology to make a phone with a transparent multi-touch display which allow users to see through the smart-glass. For that, the display quality is paramount. Since it is made of glass or crystal, it is considered to be lighter and thinner than ordinary phones. However, at this point, the display is still in development.

3.Skin-touch Screens
This technology gave born to the non-display smartphones. It is already on the market and usually known as "the Cicret Bracelet". And since it is designed to be a wristband, you can wear it on the non-watch hand and the technology will transform the users skin into touchscreens.

4.Hologram Phone
Technically, this is the most complex and difficult technique to achieve. It promised bringing your photos, films, games or even video chats in your phone to life in 3D. With this new holographic tech, you can manipulate holographic 3D images to really "pop out" of your phone. However, there's still a big problem to deal with it : the quality of the screen looks terrible.

Thanks for reading, hope you've enjoyed!
These special devices really amaze me so much. Especially the second one that is transparent screen really make me feel surprised. But I think it has a disadvantage that is there isn't any privacy if the screen is transparent because other people can see what you do on your cell phone. But all in all, I think these special features are still great!
回覆刪除I have never heard that smartphone could be transparent; how fascinating! However, I doubt if the transparent smartphone is practical. It seems there are only two colors, black and white on the screen.
回覆刪除I have only see hologram phone in science fiction movie. I am curious that without medium, how could the 3D images pop up?
I remembered that back when I was in the second year of high school, our teacher ask us to come of with a crazy imagination of how the future technology would be like. I thought for a moment and said that maybe someday our smartphones can be implanted into our bodies so that there won't be a problem of forgetting to bring our phones or leaving it somewhere without noticing. I thought that was a bizarre idea until several months later, I learned that skin-touched screens actually do exist! Well, what can I say? We live in an amazing world lol
