Smartphone Design Is Officially Dead, The Beasts Are Already Here - Naijatechguy by NaijaTechGuy(m): 4:00am On Jul 05, 2018 |
@NaijaTechGuy Let’s face it, the world of smartphones has changed ultimately in the past couple of years and very soon our smartphones might just be tiny chips that display holographic images and have endless capabilities. I know you may be saying I’m talking about a scene from a sci-fi movie but be honest with yourself, everything you’re seeing today was once called sci-fi before it actually became real. [img]http://2.bp..com/-zvfWo28u93c/Wz2BmE0nNBI/AAAAAAAANDM/m6fDohGuduMFML9fjHK_cogL_Tv6yX0iACLcBGAs/s640/OPPO-Find-X-2.jpg[/img] OPPO FIND X One of the toughest and most competitive markets in the world is the smartphone market, companies are going to the extreme to outdo the other, breaking boundaries and setting new records. Samsung’s Note 7 debacle can be said to be an example of design gone wrong in an effort to outdo others in the market. It wasn’t an easy year for Samsung but it’s good to see they got back on their feet in no time [img]http://4.bp..com/--DZkk_QnmU4/Wz2CKNamOAI/AAAAAAAANDc/GV3hjNSvM0Qu9WdCgI87QbAW6ak_7VWzACLcBGAs/s640/samsung-galaxy-note-9-leak-reveals-a-rather-dull-upgrade-521763-2.jpg[/img] SAMSUNG GALAXY NOTE 9 CONCEPT Samsung started off with the idea of curving the displays of the smartphone and while we all were still mesmerized by the design of the S7, Xiaomi dropped a killer Mi Mix Smartphone to kick start the beginning of the bezel-less trend and every company jumped into the bandwagon. Near bezel-less displays brought the 16:9 aspect ratio display and increased screen to body ratio. This trend continued till Essential released a phone with a notch. They chose a circular notch; however, the notch didn’t become a trend till the Cupertino based tech giant, Apple decided to use the rectangular variant and also yanked off the classic 3.5mm headphone jack. 26 companies copied that notch design and the list keeps going on. Crazy design ideas are coming up daily, from Google’s cancelled Project Ara to Motorolla’s modular smartphone and even foldable smartphones are now becoming a thing. A quick look at ZTE’s Axon M confirms the beginning of foldable smartphones, something Samsung is still yet to release. [img]http://1.bp..com/-UU9LkAYtFcM/Wz2DS2eGHUI/AAAAAAAANDo/BR3ZGmUvybUERogDjUk4S9IFVeJB1vKNgCLcBGAs/s640/maxresdefault%2B%25281%2529.jpg[/img] ZTE AXON M Rumors say Samsung and LG are working of phones that can be wrapped round the hands like pieces of paper but I don't have substantial information to verify the claims yet. The Chinese boys in the game have also stepped up their game. Vivo beat Apple and every other manufacturer to yank off the physical fingerprint scanner and place it below the screen. Although most of us didn’t really flow with Apple’s yanking off of the headphone jack, there’s something that sounds like music to my ears currently and it’s the front camera. Oppo yanked it off in the Find X and Vivo did the same in the Nex. However, selfies aren’t going away anytime soon so they’ve given us a full screen display and a camera that pops up when the camera is opened.

Nobody knows the special thing Samsung is cooking up for the Note 9 but I believe before then we would be hearing more from other companies 4 Likes 2 Shares |

These Chinese guys are really trying. In China, most of the young guys are pushing hard to make future inventions. No wonder most of them are really not after family but inventions |

Shortyy:Yes, the reason that is happening is because the FG through the NCC increased tariff for international inbound calls by more than 500%. This made the foreign network providers to now route their call through local Nigerian numbers so they are charged as local calls. Hope this helps? 7 Likes 1 Share |
