Various mobile device manufacturers have released AR toolkits for mobile app development. With the progress of this technology, the next step is not only smartphones altering and capturing images; they can also project them in the real world.
The T3 reports that holographic displays and some digital projectors are in development. However, it will take a few more years for this technology to be inexpensive and reliable for global use. The screen size over the years has been expanding. The future smartphones will most likely be all screen with display capabilities on the front, back and the sides of the phone. That means they will be no physical button. With the help of virtual assistants taking a more prominent role, it will help you navigate your phone and apps, customizing your home screen based on your patterns.
The advances in artificial intelligence are aiding these assistants to become smarter and intuitive. Your phone will be durable getting rid of the common issue of easily breakable screens. And you might even get to fold the phone and keep it in your pocket. After so much hype over the years about the flexibility of smartphone screens this could be the year that one finally hits the market according to Fortune.
Device manufacturers are experimenting with ways to strengthen the glass used for smartphone screens according to the recent reports by Macworld and avoid breaking pixels in foldable screens.
Researchers are making substantial breakthroughs with durable materials such as Graphene glass. Some devices are already using sapphire glass. So many new things are a possibility. Your phone will not be the same by , but there are things that will remain the same. Your phone will still be an essential device you own, and it will still fit in the pockets of your jeans. Roland Harris is a writer and a techie from California.
Phone-case technology is complementing these efforts. The NanoCase for the latest iPhones contains a graphene panel that dissipates excess heat inside the phone quickly.
The developers claim this extends the battery life by up to 20 per cent. Imagine being in a supermarket, holding up your camera, and inferring which fruit is the freshest. This idea is well on its way to becoming a reality. A new spectroscopy device is opening the door for regular consumers to use technology that was once only available in laboratories. Set to take the mobile industry by storm, the device is built into a smartphone camera, enabling it to see more accurately than the human eye and capable of identifying everything from counterfeit drugs to harmful substances within seconds.
To enable these high speeds, graphene has a unique ability to help exceed bandwidth demand, enabling ultra-wide bandwidth communications coupled with low power consumption that will radically change the way data is transmitted across optical communications systems. While we reminisce about the days of predictive text and old-school mobile devices, development in the mobile arena is far from stagnant.
Mobile devices — or maybe even brain devices — are set to continue to change. Sophie Charpentier is business developer for electronics for European Commission research project the Graphene Flagship.

Maintaining compatibility with a modular system over years could also slow companies from trying to push forward with more inventive, futuristic designs. But in 10 years, maybe the mobile industry will have evolved to a point where modular phones make a comeback. We can dream, right? More recent tries from companies like Focal still depend on the phone for too much of their functionality.
The main obstacle between existing and more capable smart glasses is being able to shrink all the necessary technology down into a pair that normal people would want to wear in public. The other fundamental challenge is coming up with an interface that makes sense and feels like the right fit between your eyes and the outside world.
Eye tracking would have to play some part in that. Think of how often you check your phone throughout the day. No one would want to be constantly futzing with swipe and tap gestures on their glasses that frequently. Outside of the home is more of the same. Rather than face the onerous task of taking a phone out of your pocket, unlocking it, opening the right app, and typing words on its little screen, the world around us will simply be equipped to do the tedious stuff for us.
Your bathroom mirror was two steps ahead of you and sent the message this morning. Running into the store for last-minute dinner ingredients? Or awful! Probably awful. There are very obvious and serious ethical problems with this scenario. Equipping the world around us to anticipate and solve our needs requires us to surrender an incredible amount of information about ourselves.
Just take a look through the last 70 years of sci-fi movies and literature if you want to know how that works out.
