If the Samsung will be presenting on Wednesday evening for years, always promised and always postponed Falthandy, is the world market leader, in recent years, the Chinese competition to create the arg has made the world’s attention for sure.

Whether the device is also suitable for everyday use, it must show, but something Samsung is able to in any case. The phone heralds a new Phase in the Smartphone era: After five years on a development plateau with many small improvements, but without the big jumps new mobile phones are now exciting again.

In these fields you can expect in the next few years:

Foldable screens: After years of prototypes and design studies, bendable and rollable screens now so that you can manufacture in large quantities. However, it still lacks truly compelling Designs, and especially the necessary Software. It is clear that a screen whose Size can be user needs to customize, has a lot of potential.

, 5G: Similar to the foldable screens of the new mobile radio standard comes with big promises. The first is faster so that everything is just a little bit, but in the coming years, 5G should allow for entirely new Apps and services that we can’t imagine now, but soon will not want to miss.

E-SIM: To the horror of the Telecom companies, the E is installed in the SIM already in the first devices (even the newest iPhone). It allows to switch to non-bureaucratic for the provider, or to use it abroad for cheap Prepaid service, and all this, without the friemelige SIM cards to exchange. Positive side effect: Without SIM card no longer can a also, the corresponding slot is broken. Until the E-appears SIM in cheaper devices, it will take some time, but its triumph will not be stopped.

Sensors behind the screens: front-filling screens look nice and are in the Trend. Ask the manufacturer, but in front of a Problem: Where to get Selfie-camera, facial recognition or fingerprint sensor? Some manufacturers (such as Apple) make sure the top of the phone, a recess in the screen. Other manufacturers (such as Samsung) to cut a hole in the screen and place your camera there. Until cameras behind the screen to hide, it will take some time, but already now you can place a very reliable the fingerprint sensor behind the screen. In the Huawei Mate 20 Per that works well. In the case of newer phones, it will only get better.

touch-sensitive case: Who says that only the touch screen can be sensitive? Phones that operated with a wiper on the edge or on the back to cover the screen with your fingers, are technically already possible. Yet successful examples are missing.

Touch-free operation: one step further Google’s project solos. A Radar Chip finger detects motion in the vicinity of the device. You can operate a cell phone or a watch, without touching them. For the technology, there are already plenty of approvals. For too long it will not take very well.

Haptic Feedback: is The technological successor to the Vibra-Alarm can a lot more than just annoying. With targeted vibration mobile phones can give the impression that you press on buttons, even though there aren’t any. So the actual screen is suddenly three-dimensional felt.

No Openings or buttons: thanks to the E-SIM, wireless Charging and haptic Feedback in future it will be possible to build more robust phones without any Openings and moving parts. For this to work in everyday life but also, and not to the user-Horror that is in demand from the manufacturers a lot of tact.

Correct Augmented Reality: Apple , all of the manufacturers, is not tired, the possibilities of Augmented Reality to highlight this. The Place of digital objects in its own field of view is fascinating and full of potential. Ideal, but it works in a pair of glasses (like the Hololens from Microsoft), but it works on Smartphones very good. It is really exciting, when phones get even better Sensors in order to capture the space and the environment better. Currently, you can use a combination of cameras and Software. With special Sensors, a lot more is because in the next few years.

three-Dimensional screens: Amazon’s Fire Phone was one of the biggest Tech Flops of recent years. Its biggest new feature: A screen that see a using the cameras suggested, three-dimensional objects. Amazon is not the first and not the last manufacturer that failed in a 3-D screen. Nevertheless, many companies continue to work. Perhaps we may be able at some point to bring a three-dimensional user interface on a flat screen.

New forms Oled, screens just turn, they can also be used in almost any shapes: round watches and mobile phone screens with camera holes are just the beginning. Round, triangular or half-moon-shaped smartphone is technically nothing in the way. Digital content, however, on rectangular areas of the best, is likely to prevent the daring manufacturer and values, abound too much.

modularity: The dream of a modular phone that can freely add new features or upgrade, seems to be dreams never. Even big Flops have not been able to get the idea small. Currently, Motorola relies mainly on the idea. But also at the fair, phone the camera for a better one, swap can be, for example, and even Apple has a case with the Battery recently, a kind of modular extension for the iPhone presented.

Smaller power supplies: gallium nitride has the potential to replace, once of silicon in computer chips. But now, a semiconductor Material makes the power supplies much smaller and more powerful. One day it may be possible once the charging cable, without power supply block, or new chip designs.

housing: Who wants to be a mobile phone without a protective case carries around with himself, loves the risk. Smartphones are in the last few years, glass back, thanks be to become even rupture of vulnerable. New types of glass promise to reduce the risk, but a quantum leap is not in sight. Other materials, such as, for example, backs of leather, but have the potential to make the protective cover is unnecessary.

cameras: What last year, the dual cameras were, this year, the three specialist cameras. Even Apple is going to put at least one of the new iPhones to three cameras, we can hear from the rumor mill. How is this going to go? Four cameras next year, maybe even for good sound? Is, the more light to record one or more cameras, the more the Software can do it later. The Software plays a key role in this, showing Google’s mobile phones that have a camera, but in terms of performance and image quality, no compromises to make.

miracle-battery: What is the largest of all cell phone-Trouble is concerned, is still no solution in sight. Batteries are endurance, processors are more economical and Software smarter, but the A-week phone remains a dream.

new devices: Even more exciting than Smartphones, even devices that go beyond that and in more and more areas of need. Glasses are still a couple of years, but smart phones and smart watches in the future will get even larger roles in our everyday life. You only have to observe how many people Airpods in the ears. Would be a shame to listen to only music. (Editorial Tamedia)
