What will the 2019 smartphone offer us? We look at the latest trends and innovations in the mobile sector and show what features we can expect in the coming years.
Competition in the smartphone market is getting tougher year by year. With each model, manufacturers outdo themselves and users get better and better features in their cell phones. 2019 will not be an exception – next year, Apple, Samsung, Huawei and Co will try to incorporate as much innovation as possible in their devices. We can not predict some of them for sure, but many trends and early glimpses show us the way forward.
1. Borderless Screens
As smartphone casings are getting lighter, screens are becoming more and more commonplace. With each smartphone generation, margins on the sides become smaller. Elements that were taken for granted a few years ago disappear under the LCD and OLED screens.
The Samsung Galaxy S10 should set new standards in terms of the display-to-case ratio. For example, the fingerprint sensor, which was a field on the back of a smartphone, could move under the screen or on the side, saving space and offering more convenience when unlocking. The speakers also want to integrate more manufacturers in the display, so that the glbad directs the sound directly into the ears.
Another "boring" item is the selfie camera, which will likely stay up with the iPhone X follower and the S10 could be expanded as a pop-up camera. Future generations will certainly find even better solutions because the display surface of the smartphone is as large as possible

In the early years of mobile telephony, Motorola was ahead in terms of small cell phones, but with the advent of screens High-resolution touchscreen, it was finished with flip phones.However, new innovations in the displays allow to fold the devices.The Samsung Galaxy X and the next Hu models awei will be equipped with flexible OLED technology and flexible enclosures. In the near future, we can expect new designs and applications for articulated gadgets.
One of the biggest sticking points in smartphones today is the relatively short battery life. Since more power always means more energy, something should be done in this regard soon. There are many ways to solve charging problems and we will certainly have them in our smartphones over the next few years. Already now, there is the Energizer Power Max P16K Pro a smartphone that has a battery of 16,000 mAh and a duration of one week. But this model has a thickness of 15 millimeters and a weight of 300 grams
A space-saving approach could be the use of lithium-air or lithium-O2 technology, which replaces previous lithium-ion batteries, and a lifetime up to five times longer than possible before. Another possibility would be the exploitation with renewable energies. Apple has a long history of becoming greener and greener and has filed a patent for special solar cells. Therefore, the early use of solar energy in smartphones is quite possible
Two front cameras on smartphones are no longer a rarity, but that does not mean that this development stops. Already the Huawei P20 Pro is equipped with a triple camera and Nokia has already filed a patent for a system with five rotating lenses, which should bring the focal length into new dimensions. In addition, it's time for smartphones in addition to pixelated digital zoom and optical zoom, as we know from stand-alone cameras get. Once again, the P20 Pro with its triple zoom is currently pioneering – other automakers are likely to follow soon.
In addition to the built-in fingerprint reader already mentioned, the Samsung S10 can also work with improved 3D face recognition. Both security features should ensure that the smartphone can not be used by strangers.
Apple is also working to strengthen the security of its future devices. The face recognition for the next iPhone is called Face ID and should work according to the early reports of the next model even faster and less complicated. A quick look in the camera is enough and the smartphone is unlocked.
New security technologies will make the 2019 mobile phone even more interesting. There is already an Apple patent allowing the storage of fingerprints and biometric data by unauthorized users. Another future technology called Attack Detection should make it recognizable if the owner of the device has an accident or is violently attacked. The smartphone then calls the competent authorities.
