Modern smartphones comprise of features that people could have only dreamt of in the past. Such features have now become a part of the real world. However, there are still features that are yet to be seen. There were many upgraded technologies at the Mobile World Congress 2018, and yet there is so much more to be seen in the upcoming months. Such features will improve the workability of modern-day smartphones ensuring a whole new experience for users worldwide. If you missed the smartphone trends at the event, then here is a quick insight on the ones that you should know.
- Smartphones without Bezels
When Samsung first introduced the concept in their Galaxy series, everyone was entirely intrigued by this vibrant concept. The South Korean Giant went for a curved edge in its premium smartphones, which changed the way people saw phones. It led to the change in the screen aspect ratio from the conventional 16:9 to the modern 18:9. Full edge-to-edge displays started emerging from time to time, and all big and small brands began adopting this trend to improve the efficiency and looks of their flagship devices. The bezel-less concept was initially a premium feature, but it has now been made available in cost-effective devices as well.
- The Notch
Whether you love it or hate it, the notch is trending, and Apple is not the only one to do so. No matter how irritating it feels on the top of a smartphone, it has become a signature style in modern smartphones. Small to mid-range budget phones are implementing it on their phone screens. However, they are also providing with a toggle to hide the notch by blackening the complete area around it. Thus, it is a win-win situation for the manufacturers and the buyers.
- AR-enabled apps
While the technology is still at a budding stage, Augmented Reality will soon become more popular, even leaving Virtual Reality behind. Smartphones are the primary focus of adapting this technology where the real world will meet the virtual world. Samsung’s Animojis application is a great, yet flawed, example of such technology. However, there is still time to witness a great app in this sector. View Story about other technology and news updates in the world smartphones.
