Latest features in our smartphone industry nowadays

Technology is developing more and more day by day. Back to many years ago, we thought the idea of just tapping a phone’s screen to call someone was impossible. Though, now we have smartphone to do that and it is still growing non-stop, in terms of both design and feature, which means that we can have a more secure, beautiful, powerful device to help us work and play all day long.

So, for 2015, many modern and advanced technologies also have been introduced, yet which of them are the best. Let’s check out the latest features in the smartphone industry nowadays with us!

1. Much better Selfie Camera

If you are a selfie lover, you may know there are more smartphones equipped with high quality produced this year. It shows that phone makers have started to care about the front-facing cam, not just the rear like before. Besides, we notice some phones even sport dual secondary snapper, or one that comes with the same megapixels as the main, or just one shooter but used as either a main or a selfie one.

It is said OPPO N1 is the handset that began the trend when boasting only one cam, yet it can rotates. After that, we have phones like HTC Desire Eye, Sony Xperia C5 Dual, and ASUS ZenFone Selfie which come with amazing 13MP selfie cams. 13MP is the highest at the moment but we do not know if it is continuing increasing.

2. Bigger Screen Size and Higher Resolution

Even Apple iPhones are getting larger in the screen size, showing that big phones, or phablets, are becoming a real trend now. Actually, it is easy to explain this. A big display will help users work and play on the phone more comfortably, especially when typing a message. Don’t you think?

Furthermore, technology has brought us much prettier displays. Once the Full HD standard was born, we thought it was enough. However, now we are getting used to 2K and even 4K resolution, and the 4K tech is predicted to be more popular at the end of the year. The one that has come with this feature is Sony Xperia Z5 Premium.

3. Curved Displays

When talking about phone display, we do not just think about the typical straight one. It can be curved for real and still work like others. The most famous machines in this trend are Samsung Galaxy Note Edge and its sibling Samsung Galaxy S6 edge PlusOther smartphone manufacturers also have been considering joining the trend like Xiaomi and perhaps Apple as well (rumor has it 😀 ).

4. Powerful 64-bit Chip 

At this point, we have to mention Apple as the pioneer since they released iPhone 5S using 64-bit chip in late 2013. From then on, a new chapter of 64-bit smartphones has started, including many high-end Android handsets such as Samsung Galaxy Note 4, OPPO R5, HTC Desire 510 and so on.

ASUS

ASUS ZenFone 2 is the first phone to sport 4GB RAM.

On the other hand, applying 64-bit chipset also has led to bigger RAM capacity like 3GB, 4GB and perhaps 6GB in the near future. Such combination helps the phone run more smoothly, giving people better experience.

5. “Digital life” apps

It is quite clear to see that our lives are involving technology more than before. The idea of having a smart house where most appliances can be controlled by your smartphone will not just appear on sci-fi movies anymore. It is coming!

2015 seems to be a great year for smartphones. You can use them to connect with other digital smart devices or online paying services easily. We guess that next year or very soon, we will only need a “small” smartphone to do everything.

6. Safer security

Last year, there were many cases related to stealing information in smartphones. As a result, this year, people care more about the security. Currently, fingerprint scanner has been applied very commonly since its appearance on Apple iPhone 5S. Yet, we know nothing lasts forever. Another more secure tech will be created to keep your phone safe.
