Cell phones are increasingly equipped with advanced features and the trend is set to continue!
With the constant advancement of technology, cell phones are getting bigger, faster, with higher resolution, more tools and certainly better, very different from the devices that were in fashion decades ago. Until about the year 2000, using a cell phone for anything other than making calls was almost impossible, because the screens were small and had low resolution, the devices were slow, the keyboard was tiny and the devices had few tools.
As the years went by, devices improved, cameras were adopted, screens got bigger, processors got faster, keyboards became touch-sensitive, but they still needed to be used with a stylus. And despite these great advances for the time, it was still very little compared to what we see on the market today. In addition, they were expensive and few people could afford a device like these.
However, the years continued to pass, technology advanced even further and new devices arrived on the market, with more functions and tools, which made people's lives easier.
But will mobile phone technology remain the same, or will we see even more advances in these “small” devices, which have a multitude of things at the touch of a button? Find out now what the smartphones of the future will be like.
Advancement of cell phones
The many functions of the most technologically advanced cell phones have changed our lives, mainly due to the ease of having everything in the palm of our hands. With smartphones, we can say that we have left other devices aside, since the cell phone “does everything”. They play music, play videos, take photos, replicate news, make calls, send messages and much more, bringing a real impact to our daily lives, especially for older people who did not see this before.
Unlike devices of the past, today's cell phones have several high quality cameras, more storage space, better batteries, very fast processors, better screen quality and a multitude of application options from different segments that serve many different purposes, ranging from finance to health. Basically, we can carry our entire life on a cell phone.
And it doesn't stop there! Manufacturers are investing heavily in even more unique devices. We've recently seen a "war" between brands to see who's the most innovative. As a result, many of them are investing in foldable devices, which are considered by many to be the pinnacle of technology, as they need to be very resistant to withstand the bends of the screen without breaking.
What to expect from the devices of the future
You foldable cell phones, including, should continue to rise. It is estimated that by 2024 the foldable device segment should increase by more than 50%. Since 2019, there has been an increase of around 148% in the sector, while the growth of traditional models was around 7%.
The devices must also have satellite communication, which allows the device to have constant access to calls and the internet, even without the connection provided by telephone operators, which sometimes have no signal. And this technology is not far off, since Android 14, which will be released later this year, will allow this type of communication, through SMS messages.
Cell phones should also increasingly use some features that monitor health of users, through artificial intelligence. In addition to measuring heart rate, they will also be able to detect snoring and coughing of users while they are sleeping, through the device's microphone.
It is also possible that future cell phones will be increasingly lighter, without physical buttons and with increasingly resistant screens, with little risk of breakage. It is also expected that future cell phones will have even better batteries, increasingly reducing their consumption and taking days to fully discharge, making it possible to charge only once a week.
