Last 2018, brought about new innovations from slimmer phones, new security features, and advance optics and internal hardware. This 2019 we expect more exciting releases and updates that would propel smartphones to new heights. Argomall.com shares some of their predications for 2019.
No More Bezels?
In 2018, we seen flaunt literally an all-screen display however for 2019 we may get more of screen setup and notch placements moving to rid of bezels in smartphones.
More smartphone brands will be following what Chinese smartphone manufacturers Oppo and Vivo did -- smartphones with simple, bezel-less, and a real all-screen display.
Eye Catchers
Apart from real all-screen displays, we can also look forward to seeing foldable screens. This is in addition to the already existing dual display technology. WIth more screen means less space to put different hardware, upcoming smartphones will carry face unlock technology and in-display fingerprint unlocking.
Longer Battery Life
With bigger screens of course it means bigger demand for battery capacity. Expect more smartphones with even larger stamina which can be fueled faster and more efficiently. Fast charging technology is also expected to become mainstream this year.
Amazing Connection
Micro-USB connectors might be phased out because it will be replace with USB-Type C Ports for fast-charging technology as well as paving the way for advance direct connections. Wireless connection as well as Bluetooth will be improved for most smartphones. With Apple introducing wireless listening with the iPhone 7, 3.5mm jacks might be gone sooner than later to bring Android users the same music experience.
Stronger internals
Smartphone manufacturers are sure to bring better configurations in terms of the internals. With Android obviously the dominant name for operating systems, smartphone manufacturers will bring more attention to regular android updates. We also expect heightened security to reach consumers since 5G rollout is slated to commence late this year, although this will not yet be a main consideration for purchase.
The battle for the top spot in the smartphone department will benefit consumers even more, since this will mean that more brands are compelled to bring devices that are competitive despite an affordable price. With this, upcoming smartphones tagged at sub-PhP 10,000 are expected to carry an onboard storage of up to 128GB and even more. For the high-end smartphone department, it is very likely that we'll be seeing smartphones concealing 10GB of RAM, and who knows, by the end of this year, we'll also be welcoming smartphones running on 12GB of memory. Entry-level and low-end smartphones, on the other hand, are most likely to carry 3GB of RAM out of the box, from the usual 2GB of RAM.
Asian companies will also remain to be the top players in the smartphone market, with Chinese firms bringing more powerful chipsets to the market. However, with even more players entering the competition to remove chipset dependence on Qualcomm, we’re expecting more fast processors sold at lower price points.
Better Cameras
With smartphone cameras clicking essential breakthroughs every year, we expect the year 2019 to be another year for camera-centric devices. With most manufacturers competing on how many cameras a device can hold, expect more smartphones to carry more than five cameras around second half of 2019.
Your smartphone right at your wrist
Another thing to watch out for this year is the emergence of wearables, particularly smartwatches. While most of these devices were introduced for fitness functions, this year, smartwatches are expected to deliver more, making them extensions of your smartphone. We’re looking forward to see more smartwatches that allow answering calls, quick message and email replies, and basically every simple thing that can be done using smartphones.
Start the year right
