WHAT’S NEXT?

The advance in mobile phones is one of the biggest advancement but also the most unsung advancement. It is important to acknowledge that the advances in mobile phones were not possible without the pioneers who invented the cutting-Edge Technologies, even if they were not always successful. For this we must continue to reward technological advancements no matter who makes them and not assuming that major inventions are only done by biggest players. The future advancements would be like, 1. Samsung has patented the technology of folding smartphone in which the phone will be able to fold and will serve as a full view display when folded and a tab when unfolded. 2. Oppo and Vivo are also working on smart phones with in-display front camera to remove bazels and give its users a 100% screen to body ratio phone.
