Features you should Expect in your Future Smartphone

Selecting a phone has become harder than ever before. Like, there are so many varieties and options to choose from that easily bog you down. In this article, I aim to guide you through a variety of features which you should be looking at in your phone if you are planning to buy one in near future.

An Infinity Screen

The current trend carries infinity screen phones to your choice list. These are the screens with almost no bezels on the side and the trend is thinning the top and bottom bezels too. Some flagship phones, who dominate the trend of infinity screen, have even managed to eliminate the bezels, replacing them with a screen which bends over half way to the bottom of the phone; that is what we call an edge screen. And an edge screen on both the sides and minimized top and bottom bezels, Samsung Galaxy S9 for example, make the phone look even more immersive and ever more beautiful. Samsung has been honoured with the title of "phones with a real infinity screen" as opposed to other phones who lack the necessary permissions to put an edge screen on their phones because of the patent Samsung has filed.

Face Recognition

One more trend which influences the features of today's smartphones is nothing else but face recognition, which had its first flash in the iPhone X, and as Apple stands as an ideal for other companies to follow, the feature found its way through Mi and One Plus, next and in order. Face recognition is a technology that scans the various fixed points on your face measuring the distance between them and storing them as a password which you can further use to unlock your phone. Hence this trend assures that you need to do no more than just looking at your phone to unlock it in future.

Surface Speakers

As the screen keeps taking up more space in the front, the companies struggle to affix other pieces of equipment like the camera, the primary speaker and such. While the cameras have been lowered to a small place on the right-hand side of the thinned bottom bezel, the primary speakers cannot meet the same fate. Most surprisingly, in an attempt to overcome the issue of placing the primary speakers the companies have found a way that does not require the speakers at all! Yes, you read it right. The technology which has made the magic possible is what we call, the Surface Speakers. In this, the speakers have reduced themselves to just a vibrating surface, which can be anything, even a screen! That means, now for sound to travel through the inside of the phone to your ear does not require a puncture on the body but the body of the phone itself can act as a speaker! What happens is that a device below the screen makes it vibrate at an intensity, which of course cannot be felt on the cheek, which produces sound. Though this technology has not much introduced itself into the market, Mi MIX has implemented it and it works like a wonder. You should not be surprised to find it on the phones of the coming future as screens leave no space for anything else.

Dual Camera

And last but, of course, not the least is what we call a Dual Camera. As the name suggests, this technique uses two, and not one, cameras at the rear. Why do we require two cameras has not been much explained at any place but it says to measure the depth between the main subject in focus and other surroundings. This, in turn, helps the algorithm to reasonably blur out the surroundings hence bringing the main subject into focus and give shots which come near to the ones that have been taken from a DSLR. Though it sounds hard at first, it has been achieved and works like a charm. In fact, this is the breakthrough which shall be the reason why the DSLRs will find themselves forgotten in a drawer of a cupboard in near future.

Hence, infinity screens, face recognition, surface speakers and the dual camera should suffice as a comprehensive list of the most advanced features which should be expected from any future flagship smart phone.
