Apple has not won yet! Samsung future is here

Have you ever thought seeing your smartphone that how come you are able to carry a phone that is also a mini computer in your. If you have not given it a thought ever, then pull out your smartphone from your pocket and remember the time where this idea seemed absolutely unreal. An interesting fact is that this shape and features of smartphones are not ultimate. These intelligent phones have a brighter future; it is not anywhere near to perfection.

Here are some of the future predictions about smartphones, what features they might carry and how useful they can get.

Privacy pixels

Shoulder snooping and prying eyes are a common problem when you are using your phone at a public place or in the presence of someone. But, the remedy is almost ready, according to some reports, Samsung has come up with software that warp the patterns of pixels on the screen, which enables only the user to see the screen. The screen can only be seen within the 60 degree range. Although, this technology has not been tested on a smartphone yet, but, there is no reason to disbelieve the fact that it is soon be tested on cell phones as well. It will surely boost up people’s privacy when they will use their beloved smartphone in a public place. Only he or she will be able to see the screen and the shoulder snoopers will just dark images that will have no interpretation.

Iris scans

You must have seen in Hollywood movies that extremely confidential information is hidden in a vault, which can only be opened through scanning of the iris of the concerned person. The person stands in front of a high-tech machine that scans the person’s eye, identifies the iris and unlocks the door. It certainly makes us feel that whether we will ever be able to have iris scan security locks. Well, the moment is not too far when we will be using our eye’s iris to unlock our phone. In fact, a Chinese smartphone manufacturer has even tested iris scanning on their smartphone. Their intelligent cell phone scans the person’s iris and unlocks the phone. The owner will not have to enter the password every time; just staring at the phone will do the trick. It is exciting.

As far as the design itself is concerned, a notch is not a part of the picture, nor is a display camera hole, as the camera is hidden under the display, as per the source. The source also mentions that this phone has a 21:9 display aspect ratio, which may become a standard down the road, as companies want to implement larger display but keep them narrow enough for users. This phone has a curved display on the sides, while its top and bottom bezels are almost non-existent, they're barely thicker than the side ones that are there as a frame, nothing else. This particular phone sports a power / lock key on the right, while its volume up and down buttons are on the left, along with a Bixby button, which is yet another indication that this is one of Samsung's designs. The display sports rounded corners, and they're rounded quite a bit, actually. Now, in addition to sharing this design with the public, Ice universe also mentioned the Sony Xperia XZ4 in his tweet, suggesting that it will sport a 21:9 display aspect ratio, and may be one of the devices that will start that trend.

Now, next year will probably be a year of display camera holes, as a ton of smartphone manufacturers are planning to release such devices. Huawei will introduce its Nova 4 smartphone on December 17, while Lenovo will follow a couple of days later. LG and ZTE are both planning to release phones with display camera holes as well, and it seems like both OPPO and OnePlus are on board as well. So, first we had regular phones, then came the period of trimming down bezels, then notches came, and now display camera holes. Many would say that this is not an ideal solution, as that display camera hole actually obstructs on the experience, it's basically in the display, and it's messing with the UI. Well, if Ice universe's Tweet is anything to go by, after 2020 (which could mean 2021), under the display cameras will become a thing, and display camera holes will become a thing of the past.

Under The Display Front-Facing Cameras Are The Solution

In this day and age, it seems like smartphone manufacturers are having significant issues when it comes to implementing front-facing cameras into smartphones, they either have to include a thicker bezel on the top in order to include it, or make a hole in the display in order to do so. Testing of under-the-display cameras is well on the way, and it has been for quite some time now, but the technology is still not there. Including a camera under the display means that the image will not be as sharp as it should be, as it's basically taking a picture through the display, not only that we're looking at an additional piece of glass here, but it's also often smudgy from everyday use. A solution for all that is probably coming though, as researchers will probably find a way to solve it, at which point display camera holes will be a thing of the past, and almost completely bezel-less devices will be a reality.

Truth be said, some display manufacturers are trying to avoid that problem in different ways, but those implementations did not exactly become a standard. Vivo, OPPO, and Xiaomi come to mind. The Vivo NEX's front-facing camera pops up from the phone itself when needed, though that's not an ideal solution according to many due to the fact the phone has moving parts, as a motor is controlling that camera. The second-gen NEX phone was released quite recently, and it actually uses its rear-facing cameras as its selfie cameras, as the phone has two displays, one on the front and one on the back. OPPO and Xiaomi basically created sliding phones, OPPO's is powered by a motor, while Xiaomi's is not, it's a manual slider, and front-facing cameras are hidden in both cases. As already mentioned, none of those designs has become a standard, and chances are it won't at all, under-the-display cameras seem to be a solution.

Date of release

A new rumor has appeared, claiming that Samsung will announce the Galaxy S11 series and the Galaxy Fold 2 on February 11. This goes against a recent rumor which suggested February 18 as a possible release date.

Now, this rumor comes from a rather unknown source, an Israeli publication 'g-rafa'. Just because this is not your regular source of such tips does not mean it's wrong, though. Take it with a grain of salt, of course, though.

That's not all. A well-known tipster kind of corroborated that information. Soon after the source published this information, Ice Universe kind of agreed with this release date via Twitter.
