Smartphone technology has evolved greatly over the last five years. Features that seemed otherworldly are now in the palm of our hands. These gadgets help us navigate through our daily lives, and it’s almost impossible to leave the house without them.
Design. Smartphone technology incorporates clever designs, almost ergonomic to some. Flagship phones from Apple and Samsung are a mix of fragility and expensiveness. While the design is topnotch and elegant, consumers should either be extra careful with their handling, or mask the beauty of the phones behind cases.

Built-in projectors. The Samsung Galaxy Beam, which was released mid-2010 was the pioneer phone to have a WVGA projector as feature. Future smartphone models are set to have the same feature as brands are venturing in the world of interactive gaming without the need for a TV or computer screen; all consumers will need is a flat surface.
3D screens and holograms. Apple’s Retina Display is still the king in the screen category. However, this peak in smartphone technology will be challenged by 3D screens and holograms. There are a few smartphone models with 3D screens already, and the step after that would be holographic projections.

Not everyone will be all set for the future of smartphone technology. Some Apple fans were dismayed with the iPhone X’s lack of home button and other awry features, but that won’t stop them from purchasing the latest model the brand has to offer. Android enthusiasts think they’ve seen it all, but after the release of Oppo Find X, they know there’s more to watch out for.
