- Lithium sulphur batteries with 5-8x more capacity as current ones
- 0-100% charging in under 30 minutes whether wireless charging or not. Nomore having to worry forgetting to charge it overnight. You can charge it at breakfast time.
- Wireless charging on all flagships. But we still have the wire option
- Foldable screens to lessen size but increase thickness
- Flip phone renaissance?
- Chinese companies become the dominant players globally for many electronics over the South Koreans which succeeded the Japanese
- Tablets is now ruled by phablets. The iPads and other tablets go the way of iPods and portable media players. Useless tech if it can NOT receive or send texts or calls. Lesser gaming handhelds will get bought too.
- 4k displays at 900ppi becomes standard
- Wrap-around displays
- 500 mbps download speed mobile data or even up to 1 TB per second!
- Successor to Wi-Fi ac at similar speeds as above
- Bluetooth 6.0
- More smartphone owners complaining about the nano to millisecond differences
- Current specs from smartphones of 2014 will be found in sub-$100 devices even for global brands. Just look at specs from 2008 like the iPhone 3G or the first Android, HTC Dream/T-Mobile G1. Those specs can go for $20-$50 these days. Actually flagship specs from 2011 can now go for under $100.
- And these next two could be BIG ONES... Apple might let iOS users customize their homescreen without needing to jailbreak! Whatever Cyanogen Mod, MIUI, and endless Android launchers offers, we can finally change every look of our phone whether changing the dialer, lockscreen, messaging backgrounds, font, animation, pull down notification, boot animation, hide apps, disable them, etc. Not just changing wallpapers.
- Apple might finally officially ALLOW Bluetooth communication with other branded phones and not just Apple! Wow! One less handcuff to worry!
I could be asking for too much so soon esp that latter two. But 5 years and 2+ months seems like an eternity to tech. Back in 2008, Nokia still ruled and BlackBerry (or RIM) was #1 for smartphones. Motorola was coming off success with feature phones with their RAZR line. Now generally all of them gone or just a blip in marketshare. Palm is dead. HTC still hanging in there. Fickle and competitive market.
