The Future Of Smartphones: New Technology



Face Recognition
Five years past, you were exploitation your portable to form calls. That was the most purpose. The name confirms this theory. There you had the fundamental principal of however the phone worked. Acoustic vibrations, being remodeled to electrical signals and as a result, the transmission of sound! This was the ideal! This is often what technology offered North American nation a couple of years past. Nowadays, our approach towards technology is therefore various and far additional advanced. We tend to check updates on Facebook, we tend to send e -mails, we tend to edit documents, we tend to play and that we hear music.


When the iPhone launched, the trail of the sport has been modified. The primary iPhone, related to a replacement line of mobile phones will which that will may} do virtually constant things a laptop can, similar performance, however in a very compact and little wrapping. Today, we tend to connect in a very actually various manner with the globe. The very fact is that within the past 5 years, the technology evolved on quick forward, creating North American nation experimentalists of the entire dynamical method.

The future of Smartphones: How can the new technology look like?

Smart things

The main feature that allowed this transition was the touch screen. The finger has become the non-public bit and therefore the controller. Out of the abrupt, you become additional powerful. It’s like touching the knowledge that's delivered to you, visually. The introduction of computer code created everything doable. So: light-weight sensing element, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, touch screen and lots of alternative options are already common. Helping in the slightest degree these changes and seeing that they didn’t simply stop at a particular purpose, makes Maine assume that Smartphones can become even ‘smarter’ 5 years from currently. I’m thinking of the already explicit tissue layer show, that primarily sharpens the human eye. There’s quite clear that the image quality is up perpetually. I imagine that consecutive issue to come back is that the painting feature, however not like on Galaxy Note, by painting it, however through the touch screen and not by exploitation the pen. It ought to be one thing like responding to the input pressure, dynamically. If you're into style, you're most likely conversant in the Wacom pill, an ideal graphic pill.

Another revolutionary issue started by Apple and price taking into consideration is the Voice management. The non-public assistant, referred to as Siri is employing a technique that interprets diction and syntax. Within the same manner that folks do. The Voice management can become one thing rather usual. If Siri are a few things that fully stun you at once, presently it'll become simply another indispensable feature.

Devices communicate each other via Bluetooth and Wi-Fi. Within the future wireless technologies can permit the transfer of enormous quantity of information. Moreover, the wireless network can most likely become dysfunctional. I feel that 5 years from currently, the whole info are going to be instantly delivered to your mobile device. Imagine walking into a store or eating house and receiving pictures of what are the customers’ habit, however would you look in a very sure dress or what will the eating house need to provide supported what your preparation tastes. The fascinating issue can concern the name itself.

Face Recognition: Face recognition already exists! Ever since automaton four.0, back in 2011, Android phones have had face recognition as an unlocking option. The iPhone does not have face recognition in-built, however you'll snag AN app that'll jazz even as simply. Face recognition is nice as a result of it does not need any additional hardware--the front-facing camera on your phone is simply fine for this--and, in theory, after you activate your phone, you've already got your face turned toward it, therefore you do not need to do a lot of adjusting.

Will Apple attempt to embody this feature? Possibly! The technology (and precedents) already exists, therefore it might be simple to implement. However on automaton, it does not work significantly well, therefore Apple might decide it is not definitely worth the bother.

 The YotaPhone is having a 4.3 inch LCD screen with HD resolution (720p) in the front. At the rear is an E -ink screen with a resolution of 640 x 360 pixels. That second screen is always on and giving you all the notifications such as, missed calls, the weather forecast, reminders and messages.

One advantage is that you do not have to look, so the battery life will be more. Even though your battery is completely dried; the last viewed information still remains visible on the screen. In addition, one more advantage is with the E-ink screens that is visible even in bright sunlight and is perfectly readable in the broad day light. A bit of a shame is that the E-ink screen is not touch screen.

 There is only a capacitive touch- zone below the screen for navigation. The Android 4.2.2 running on YotaPhone and is equipped with a 1.7 GHz dual - core processor, 2GB RAM, a 13 megapixel camera with LED flash, a 1 -megapixel front camera and a battery with a capacity of 1.800mAh. The price offered is not known and the pre order is on the way at their Yota site.

Nokia Lumia 1020 with 41 megapixels!



In 2012, the Nokia 808 Pure View with 41 megapixel camera was released, gain in July 2013, Nokia Lumia the successor of its pixel monster with Windows Phone 8.

As the test of its predecessor Nokia 808 Pure View shows the main advantage of the sharper sensor is not necessarily in the ability to store photos in huge resolution. It's more about the optimization of image quality: This creates better at the end of eight or five-megapixel photos than a normal camera sensor. Unique to mobile phone cameras is the ability to zoom in quasi photos and videos at Pure View mode. The 41-megapixel technology Nokia has called Pure View 1 technology. For Lumia 920 and Lumia 925, however, the Pure View-2 technique was used: the higher image sharpness alone does not, however, provide through an optical image stabilizer for shake-poor video footage and high-intensity shooting in dull lighting or without flash. Exciting - but technically not that easy - would be the combination of both technologies: How would shoot in low light or low steady video possible as well as photos with impressive image quality. If Nokia manages to square this circle is on 11 Show in July.


According to the Windows Phone Central 1020 is equipped with 720p OLED display. Just like the Lumia 920 will be surrounded by a shell of polycarbonate, The Nokia 1020, Compared to Lumia 920 is one millimeter thinner - but it has a large recess for the camera.

All about Google Nexus 4!



The Google Nexus 4 is a top class Smartphone at an intermediate rate. Google Nexus 4 is one of the best Smartphone which can do Android updates early and very easily. LG brings the Nexus 4 now available in a white version also in the market. However, only the Smartphone back and sides of the body shine in new splendor, the front remains unchanged, according to the devices pictures available. According to the manufacturer, the white Nexus 4 will be released first in Hong Kong and then to other markets in the coming weeks. A combination of cool metal and anodized surfaces, which you will not want to put down - all this, is the Nexus 4. The front and back are made of scratch-resistant Gorilla glass. Nevertheless, you need a moment to you is warm with the LG-made Nexus 4, but then it also convinces with a high perceived value. The design is edgy, hugs not as good in the hand like a Galaxy S3. But the Nexus 4 is not so unwieldy. The processing of around 140 grams heavy equipment is perfect, surprisingly a flawless rigid casing, the buttons are tightly enclosed. The edges are rough and rubbery, under the gorilla glass on the back depending on the light shines a different pixel array, but discreetly ... It was only there when it is cold, the glass is also tactile recognizable as such. The large screen is a sharp crack IPS display with 1280x768 pixels, provides a pixel density of 319 ppi. The size is slightly below that of the Galaxy S3 (4.8 inches) to 4.7 inches (11.9 centimeters).

 If you are looking for criticisms, it could be argued the worse compared to AMOLED black level and a smaller angle. But that does not spoil the joy of the great picture while surfing and games. The laboratory certified high brightness, good contrast, natural colors and little reflection. Only the visibility in bright light is not optimal. The quad-core processor "Snapdragon S4" is clocked at 1.5 GHz. various benchmarks substantiate the impression that you are dealing with a fast computer. In one benchmark, for example, the Nexus is a HTC X forward, the next 4 In any case; the Google phone plays forward with. This fits the lush memory of two gigabytes, so far an exception for Smartphones. The device memory is eight or 16 gigabytes and is not expandable. As operating system "Android 4.2" (Jelly Bean) is installed. Great advantage of the Google Phones: future stand with the Nexus 4 at the front of the long part Android update queue. Prima: A small update after the first start already eliminated the error that already established under the Google Apps account acquired should be bought again. Android 4.2 offers "Gesture Typing", offer the other manufacturers as "Swap" gesture by finger wipe only on the keyboard to enter words. The camera has a resolution of eight megapixels. The laboratory test showed an effective resolution of 4.7 megapixels, the sight test on the monitor ordinary, slightly sharpened images. Flier is not the camera. Full HD videos are now standard. The front camera takes HD video and triggers with 1.3 megapixels. New 'Photo Sphere ", a feature that allows you to create 360-degree panoramic pictures from several individual photographs.

However, the results remained the practice test below expectations. In addition, the system was still not free of errors. The data is transmitted via GSM, UMTS, HSPA +, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth. The charging cable, you do not necessarily need the Nexus 4th Instead, you supply the unit with induction of fresh 'juice'. A corresponding space you will need to buy. Alternatively, micro-USB connectors on board that have MHL adapter and HD MOV, MKV & Co. in 1080p on the TV. A status LED below the screen draws attention to received notifications, headphones missing.

Why are Smartphone Sales Overtaking PC Sales?

For the past couple of years, smartphones have been outselling PCs, and this trend is expected to continue into the future now. With smartphone sales going from strength to strength, it is unlikely we’ll see a reversal in this trend anytime soon. Prices of BlackBerry and Android handsets are rapidly coming down, with each new iPhone release pushing down the prices of older models, meaning it’s becoming more and more affordable to own a smartphone.
One of the reasons smartphones are becoming so popular is that people are becoming more and more connected. Smartphones aren’t just for calls and texts; they’re social and business hubs too. People use their phones for social networking, for sharing images and videos, for viewing media, for sending business emails... In fact, almost everything that can be done on a regular PC can now be done on a smartphone.
It also helps that smartphones are portable. While you can carry your entire photo and music collection around on a phone, you are at the mercy of your PC in terms of location. Set your PC up in your bedroom but want to show someone downstairs a photo? You either have to summon them upstairs to have a look or transfer that photo onto a portable device such as a smartphone. Smartphones offer a far greater degree of flexibility than PCs. This is even true if we think about laptops in their capacity as personal PCs. Yes, they’re smaller and yes, they can be carried around, but a tiny pocket-sized device is far more desirable than carrying a laptop around all day, every day.
So does this signal the end of the PC? It’s very doubtful. PCs are still the staple of every office desk in the country, and are much better at handling large amounts of data. While smartphones are improving their media handling abilities, the fact is that PCs are still far better at loading videos, handling lots of open windows and for basic word processing and spreadsheets. Imagine having to type an entire report up using tiny buttons...
The reality is that while smartphones are becoming more and more popular, PCs still have their place and are still just as important as ever. Remember that the reason smartphone sales are relatively high compared to PCs is probably because the vast majority of people with a smartphone will probably already have a PC. Of course fewer people will be buying replacement PCs each quarter than new smartphones, so really the two devices are just as useful as the other with their own unique points. It’s safe to say that we won’t be saying goodbye to PCs just yet.
