What are smartphones going to be like exactly ten years from now?
like phones now + new meme features
>>54665241
Little faster but more thin and thinner bullshit
>>54665241
Transparency is silly
>Worse screen
>Engineering nightmare
>Fragile
>Serves literally no purpose except for looking somewhat nice
I think they will look mostly the same but offer all kinds of improvements. As far as their form is concerned, I think they reached the end of their evolution.
I mean, PCs now aren't that different from the ones 10 years ago.
>>54665241
within 10 years apple will release a smartphone you can carry in your wallet
>>54665241
I'll let you know in 10 years
>physical keyboards will never EVER come back
>>54665241
I hope somethinh like this, but in color.
https://youtu.be/IX-gTobCJHs
>>54665241
Probably like a headset or some shit like google glasses, possibly with AR capabilities
http://mashable.com/2016/05/20/hyper-reality-keiichi-matsuda/#OLcJav4RSmqw
Maybe not in 10 but in 15-20, this shit looks scary as fuck.
>>54665323
Good riddance.
>>54665241
Smartphones will die out like pagers did and will be replaces by smart glasses like the google glass but much more advanced and supporting full field of vision

Given that everything has slowed down and people now look for social progress (or the opposite more like) we'll see nothing like the picture you posted. At best they'll try to introduce old gimmicky shit in new ways again, I'm thinking they will try -again- with 3D and this sort of augmented reality shit, more robotics, better AI and that's it. They'll improve on surveillance and ways to convince the population to listen to specific news, buy specific things just like they're doing now.
I used to love technology a decade ago. Right now though, I would love if it was more focused on helping people do manual labor rather than doing it all by itself. Try to introduce the masses to toughen up in times on need and stop needing these tools altogether. All this instead of putting kids in literal bubbles until their mid 20s where they will be completely useless. But that's too ideal. It will take two generations after a big collapse until humans are capable of having a thick skin.
>>54665241
The current form factor for smartphones came out about 10 years ago, let that sink in
>>54665323
They will never go away as long as people keep buying them.
So why haven't you bought a nice mechanical keyboard yet?
>>54665241

>>54665241
Transparent phones are never going to be a thing. What you'll get is bendable smart"phones" that you get to wear on your wrist and tape to your forehead.
>>54665574
That's just an icon, not a clock
Probably from a notification
>>54665594
I don't understand what you're trying to explain to me. Both clocks are clearly clocks.
>>54665622
It's okay, one day you'll graduate grade school
>>54665412
Dunno, I don't think most people would want so much crap in their face all the time, would probably still keep it on a device that's not always broadcasting ads and shit directly at you, at least the majority of consumers I'd guess.
Maybe made more into watches more or something, or gloves and such. perhaps forearm bracers will become a thing.
>>54665636
try as I might anon I just can't get my fractions
>>54665579
Yeah, I guess phones will be completely bezel less in 10 years but transparent never.
Will probably in some usage cases mimic transparency with really wide angle high pixel cameras and axis sensors.
>>54665643
Forearm bracers
>>54665679
Indeed, though with more smartphone capability, or perhaps even more in 10 years time.
Battery life will be 4 hours
>>54665725
We're not talking about the next iphone.
Just curious, how are transparent phones possible? What's the technology behind them? I mean where do they hide stuffs like battery, board etc if phone is fully transparent?
And no I am not taking about using output of camera in screen bullshit.
>>54665270
You forgot:
>Reflections reduce viewability
>>54665792
>>54665241
>The "It's a sunny day" is outside of the screen
Smartphones will be able to display text right in the corner of your field of view.
>>54665565
He's talking about physical keyboards on cellphones. They are almost nonexistent at this point.
It will look the same with more features and faster. PCs and laptops is the ones that will change a lot.
>>54665241
>What are smartphones going to be like exactly ten years from now?
Useless
>>54665241
no more phones as we know them. we are replacing our external monitors with vr headsets, which will only be the size of a small strip of glass in front of your eye.
people these days still use separate mp3 players or even portable cd players. in ten years you'll look the same outdated as they do when you're using a phone.
there's absolutely no need to carry a phone around.
>>54665241
Welcome to the future, senpai.
>>54665804
>transparent phones
what's the point?
>>54665446
Have thick skin so they wouldn't get cut on your edge.
>>54665843
yeah remember when that stopped the glossy display meme from taking off oh wait
>>54665277
next generation kids would laugh at you
>>54665241
Either:
>AR glasses, kinda like Google Glass but more advanced
or
>Independent smartwatches
>>54665241
At some point, probably not soon atleast, we'll probably start wearing our tech more. Phone are already a chore to carry around and keep up with. Something that's simple enough that can be put on like clothes without looking hipster as fuck like today's shit. Pretty much how I see it.>>54665679 Neck bracers, arm bracers, hell probably shit imbeded into your shirts and pants.
Then afterwards we'll probably move on to surgical implanting our tech. We really are moving closer and closer into our tech.
>>54665241
There won't be no smartphones. Just things like Google Glass.
>>54666178
>surgical implant
will never take off. nobody would want a lifetime of aging tech,
>>54665241
Meme phones will dominate
>>54665324
I hope this. Would be nice if some company other than Microsoft, Apple, and Samsung did it and just mopped the floor with them.
>>54666225
Depends one the type of surgery needed. If it's just a simple tiny incision or something less, with no risk involved, people would flock to it. It could even be something like a new way of getting a tattoo.
>>54666351
>and then you do it every year until your arm is unusable
>>54666373
Apple Innovationâ„¢
>>54665643
I wear glasses all day anyway
And even if I didn't, if I could watch anime or shit around on 4chan without having to put in headphones and stare down at my phone I'd be willing to regardless
Its probably more than 10 years before it can be unobtrusive enough to be worth doing though
>>54665241
Not like that.
>>54665241
Like whatever iPhone that comes out 9 years from now.
>>54665270
Also, people can see the porn you're watching.
>>54665287
Why would they do that when they want you to ditch your wallet for your phone now?
>Google Glass is the future
Google Glass crashed and fucking burned, give it up.
>>54665247
>like phones now + new meme features
This.
Unless we develop direct brain links or some completely groundbreaking technology like that, the shape, size and general use of a smartphone can't really change.
>>54666522
>implying apple will still exist in 9 years time
peak faggot has already happened, anon, apple is in an inexorable decline
Phones and technology will become more compatible with human senses. At the moment, one of the problems with technology is the disconnect between the human experience and use of smartphones and computers.
An example of this is the difference between a phone/tablet and a book. When I hold a book, I can tell roughly how long it's going to be (how many pages) from how heavy it is, or from just looking at it of course. When I'm halfway through a book, I know that I am because of the distribution of the book's weight. The same cannot be said for a smartphone. In the future, we'll have technology that is more of a sensory experience than tapping a piece of glass.
iphone is just about ten years old and looks much the same.
I imagine there may have been some advances in AR wearables that may obselete parts of the smartphone, but otherwise I think the design is as fixed as the laptop
>>54665241
is a fashion statement you'll be wearing a smartwatch and a based dynatac
Like current phones except more politically correct
>>54666640
>An example of this is the difference between a phone/tablet and a book.

That information isn't nearly useful enough to devote hardware towards.
Just like current phones except shittier in every way.
they will be 8.5 inches as standard.
>>54666625
Advanced sensor technology is probably going to expand the uses. There's already a fair few medical applications, even some sensor some Japs made that uses ultrasound to predict when you need to poop, and gives you a ten minute warning, so old people don't have to wear... rather unflattering undergarments.
We'll probably get a similar sort of thing for strokes and heart attacks in ten years' time.
>>54665270
Hololens-esque features would be cool

Reminds me of this sci-fi book I read as a teen, it actually has some pretty accurate predictions about data mining and lack of privacy and stuff.
>>54666178
Yes wearable tech is pretty much the future, just as pocket watches as opposed to wrist watches.
>>54666748
Dang.
>>54665636
I think he ment the bars under the """""icon"""""
also if icons arent dynamic yet between now and 1 second I'm gonna kill myself
I just hope eventually one of these stories that pops up ever few months about a new "breakthrough" battery tech that will extend smartphone battery life to weeks or months instead of the standard "barely one fucking day" pans out
>>54665446
Ted Kaczynski pls.
>>54665241
you insert it in the ass and you get feelers when you get a call
>>54666703
It's a poor example, but the ultimate goal of a phone that has a more sensory experience is definitely something to work towards
>>54667249
Ok, but provide an example of why anyone would bother? I've never heard of it as a goal for anyone, other than basic haptic feedback
In 10 years SIM cards won't exist anymore, mobile numbers will not exist
everyone will be communicating using the interent, skype, whatsup viber and shit like that
>>54665324
>8 years ago
What happened with this idea?
>>54667373
Nokia is shit now.
in 10 years you will literally need 2 different apps to communicate with each person you know one to receive and one to send, and flagship phones will have 128 cores and a terrabyte of ram yet still lag like fuck. iPhones will not have changed except they will be 1mm thick
>>54667455
>128 cores and a terrabyte of ram yet still lag like fuck

Whatever Samsung decides it should be.
No other company drives the development more than them.
Brain to chip interface. Screenshot this
>>54665270
And you could just use your camera as background
>>54665270
Don't forget you'll lose it if it runs out of batteries, or you put the display on dim and it's silent.
>>54666351
mate, a shit ton of people don't like needles, do you really think they're going to go for getting holes cut into them like that if they can avoid it?
>>54667305
It would be advanced ergonomics more than anything, allowing a smartphone to become more than a glass brick and closer to something that is actually enjoyable to use. It's the exact reason why paper books are still more popular than e-books, because there's no satisfaction derived from picking up an e-reader when compared to picking up a book.
>>54665241
I'll give you a hint.
Not that.
>>54666351
Don't see the point of surgery for aging technology. See pacemakers, for example. Lots of shit to consider.
I'm even hard-pressed to support "cabling" surgery. You know, setting up wires for internal organs, and leave the apparatus on the outside.

>>54666944
no lie I look up to that man and wish I had even a fraction of the insight he possesses
>>54665241
as our ability to make better batteries improves they can be made thinner and give the same battery life. so if we have it apples way the phones will be thinner despite no one wanting that but the request made every release cycle cant be made
>>54665241
they'll be the size of a tablet and thinner than a sheet of paper

That is pretty cool. It really illustrates beautifully how anti-human the digitalization of everything is. Everything is quantized, everything is logged, everything equalized. It's a horrible development.
>>54666636
Not exactly. The giant tech companies, Google, Apple, Amazon, Facebook are all essentially following the same corporate philosophy and goal. They are increasingly competing in the same space. Sure, 10 years from now Apple's main focus may no longer be phones, but they will probably still be around, duking it out against Google.
>>54665241
>Smartphones
You mean phones with mp3 player, camera and web-browser?
The screen will probably become foldable so that you can have a big screen and a small phone.
>>54665679
These won't happen. They could have in the past, but instead of having portable computers, we made smartphones. The focus being on the phone, not the computer.
I'd rather pull out a card-sized piece of plastic than hold my wrist up though.
>>54665241
Like google glass except there will be no physical glasses, you'll just project a screen image in front of your face and give it eye or voice commands.

Probably Advertisements on fucking everything. Pop-ups from every application asking you to rate them. Spam notifications. Shitty Apps bundled with the phone that you have to rig the device to remove. Corporate overlays on top of overlays to make cool skins from the manufacturer. Annoying notifications telling you you are driving too fast or the audio is too loud. Contacting the cops to stop you because you are speeding. Memes and animated gifs on everything. Minimalist everything. Squares and triangles as icons.
Most of this already exists. Whatever company goes backwards and just gives you a simple device without this fucking bullshit will probably be the future. Deliver it minimal and allow the user to freely improve the device.

Not really. Maybe 20-30.
The biggest issue right now it processing power and battery. Both of which has stagnated for the past 5+years and it looks like companies don't want to be the first to invest all the capital to create something new.
Quantum processors are getting there, but error checking is still a pretty big problem.
>>54672347
Why don't you? A university in colorado is building a stadium for a total cost of around 1 Billion and its for COLLEGE FOOTBALL, fuck professional sports they dumped all that money for a COLLEGE sports team.
America is stupid when it comes to sports.
>>54673239
How the fuck are they spending all that money when a huge football stadium doesn't cost more than 100/200 millions?
>>54673288
debt. college don't have all that kind of money to invest or power to get people to invest in them.
nor is college as profitable as professional sports cause when majority of people leave college they don't follow their college teams.
>>54673239
I never got this fascination with college sports in America.
All I got for being in a uni sports team is something like 15 points (on a 1k scale) for the dean's scholarship contest. Oh, and some restaurants / clubs have discounts for members of the academic sports association.
>>54665241
Foldable phones
Expandable phones
Phones that can be scrunched up as if it was a paper ball
Phones with 3d touch shit so that touch screens can feel like physical buttons.
One of these
>>54673337
Many people watch college sports in america. The NCAA in particular makes billions of dollars in ticket & ad sales per year.
I think the main issue with other countries, they do not have nearly enough colleges to form decent-size, competitive leagues across multiple tiers of performance/skill, and have enough games in the year.
At best there are 2-3 well-known institutions that trounce all the others every season. This was my experience with college ("university") sports in the UK.

We won't have our own phones. It will be borrowed from the goverment and they will all look the same. It sounds terrible now but it will have some sort of convenience advantage going for it.

>>54674023
True. But I suppose that I meant screens which incorporate chips on them was understood.
E-ink display for those folks who don't need fancy apps and stuff. It would save so much battery.
The real answer is wallet-sized flexible phones.
Population keeps increasing. That means more Pajeetphones.

>>54665241
They won't have lithium batteries, so heavier or more expensive.
Larger, folding/rolling screens.
Maybe 50 to100% the performance of an S7
Terrible, horrendously bad margins as China/Samsung saturate the market with 100 dollar phones.
>>54665241
They'll be bigger.
Only the 70 and 80 year olds that are still around will be able to afford them, and they'll all complain about the letters being too small.

>>54665241
>What are smartphones going to be like exactly ten years from now?
gone. obsolete. completely integrated into a contact lens or standard glasses frame
>>54673950
why would it be impossible? It's already possible by projecting the image onto the glass. In the future hardware might have gotten so small that you could have the top of the phone be black (like on the image) and rest of it be pure glass that. The top hardware part projects the screen/image down into the glass and the colors are dispersed so that the user can see the image.
>>54666532
>>54667548
transparent doesn't mean that you'll have the screen mirrored on the other side
>plebs
>poverty closed source 8gb 1μm thin pieces of trash
They've changed not at all in 8 years, except larger screens are popular. Why would you think they won't be mostly the same in another 10?
I'd kill for something cool like this, shame you need to put your hand up to glass for video features and a UI.

exactly the same with the odd gimmick and flash in the pan.
maybe some neural interface and vr gimmicks idk.
Improved accuracy of touch, double to triple in battery capacity, more stable storage with much higher transfer speeds and capacity, faster processor and larger amount of ram of course, and probably some stupid gimmicks with the screen.
>>54677250
Are you genuinely blind?
20 years ago, we got portable phones.
10 years ago, we got touch and instant messaging.
Today, we got wearable tech, and now Google and Levis are teaming up to make a smart jacket that comes in 2017.
In 10 years, everything is wearable tech. Our body becomes the interface, our palms and arms the screens, our clothing the communication technology. Everything will charge wirelessly. We will carry in all-in-one device that is controlled by user-friendly gestures and doing odd motions in public will be in the first stages of becoming the norm.
>>54677289
nigga u stupid
>>54672676
Th-thick
>>54666351
Not to mention if you're only building an interface, that doesn't change often. How long have we been using SATA?
Implantable tech will mostly be interfaces or things that are easy to remove / upgrade.
>>54665404
That won't happen because of ad blindness, combined with the fact that people hate will hate it. Just like how your browser doesn't currently have billions of search bars. It makes for a good fearmongering video, but that's all it is.
>>54673950
>And is completely impossible to make.
get with the times, gramps
Phones are deprecated. Following the current trend, phones will stop being a thing when they become as large as tablets. Then they will come upon several iterations of wearable "computers" (phone included) and a gimmicky bluetooth device, probably will be recording all the time "checking for voice commands".
In the end, the trend will be thinned down to one or two wearables. No idea what could it be, maybe something you can put near your waist.
>>54677578
>In the end, the trend will be thinned down to one or two wearables. No idea what could it be, maybe something you can put near your waist.
