smartphone trends 2024-2025
Hey there, tech enthusiasts! Wow, can you imagine we are discussing smartphones that are due to be released in 2024-2025? One could almost imagine that at one time, we were gorging ourselves on the new iPhone 15 Pro Max. Still, the time does pass by, especially when one is living life at the speed of light, or, more appropriately, at the speed of rapidly progressing technologies, does it not?
Well then, let’s loop in; let’s take a drive through the grand circuit of the smartphone of the near future.
Okay let’s start by securing the basics – what’s the issue here, what is everyone screaming about. Even if one were to attempt to predict trends in technology, it is really akin to attempting to stick jelly on a wall. \
But based on rumors, the patents existing in some key players’ portfolios, and white and, more often, gray literature produced or sponsored by players who are or were involved in the emerging field, we seem to have quite a good idea of what is headed our way. So, let’s dive in!
The Foldable Revolution: Not Just Another Fad, Any Longer
Do you also recall the time when we all believed that foldable phones are just a trend that would not last long? Well, jokes on us! There will most likely be follow-ups: Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 6 and Z Flip 6 that should be launched at the end of 2024 or early 2025; and the announced devices are said to be finally sample x50 durable.
No more wrinkle like lines seams or easily breakable screens; only sleek, foldable glory. And you won’t believe this but the iPhone Fold could be the next Apple product to jump on the fold. That is the saying, better late than never, is it not?
AI: Your New Pocket-Sized Best Friend
AI is no more a mere buzzword but actually turning out to be an important aspect of the smartphones. The Google Pixel 9 Pro is expected to have hands deep into AI in that it will come with an AI chip that is smarter than most people (sorry for being rude).
AI that could or will dictate your emails for you do photo editing and maybe will be able to guess what you are about to say next. Creepy or cool? You decide!
Cameras That’ll Make Your DSLR Cry
Well, here is something much bigger, literally: Have you heard about the 108MP cameras? The upcoming smartphones are leap year on the possibilities of mobile photography. Selfies, image, and video quality are set to go even higher with a mouth-watering 200MP main sensor, and 16K video recording for Xiaomi 15 Ultra.
Yes, you got it right it 16K! Your videos will detail more than real life. Oh, man, to some people this is really living in the matrix.
Battery life that is longer than the attention span.
Honestly, who amongst us has not grown tired of having to lug power banks around as if they are the only solution to all our problems? Well, good news! Some of the rumours include that OnePlus 13 Pro is working on a graphene battery that may let the phone last a week.
Can you imagine with joy to charge the phone not daily, but using it or keeping it charged without having to connect it to a charger every night?
5G? That's So 2023. Say Hello to 6G!
It appears that consumers barely had time to get a hang of the 5G networks when the big tech companies start ruminating on the 6G ones. It is projected that the next iPhone generation as well as the series of Samsung Galaxy S25 are 6G compatible.
Then what does that mean to us the normal people? Imagine download speeds that are almost too fast to even say, lets say, ‘binge-watch NZ’ in the time it will take you to download the whole Netflix list.
Sustainability: Because In The End It Is Just The Earth That Suffers
But, it is not a story of only the bringer of speed and power. This smartphone industry has lastly started awaking to its duties on the environment.
The Fairphone 5 takes the crown for now with its easy-to-disassemble and -replace parts and conflict-free metals. Even big players are not being left out in the act – this year’s iPhone 16 is being developed with 100 % recycled materials.
Who told you that you cannot save the planet with a swipe of a screen and minutes spent on TikTok?
The small Phone is back.
Plot twist! In the last few years, the tendency in smartphones’ growth has been observed due to the increased size of screens; thus, there is a need for compact mobile devices.
The iPhone 16 Mini, yes, it is coming back again, and the Sony Xperia 1 V Compact are for those of us who do not want a large tablet disguised as a telephone. Indeed, it is a small world after all that the bigger evils are not always hidden behind the small packages of goodness.
VR-Ready Phones and Mind-Blowing Innovations
Virtual Reality: And Your Phone might be the New Holodeck
Prepare hereby for smartphones that are also VR headsets. It is reported that the Asus ROG Phone 8, to be released in the future, will have VR function modules installed. Simply plug it into a headset, and voila you are in the matrix.
Or Hogwarts. Or anywhere your virtual heart feels like.
The Wild Cards: Mind Blowing Smartphones
Prepare for more outrageousness because things are about to get crazy. We are being told that there will be rollable phones with screens (Now, we hear LG paying keen attention to this), Projector phones (who wants to watch a movie with friends again?),
and Holographic phones. Future is already upon us, and I think it is going to be stylish like this cooler.
Well, that does it here is a sneak look at the smartphone of the future 2024-2025. Which of the two are you most looking forward to? The foldable iPhone? The week-long battery life?
Perhaps a phone that is smarter than your neighbor’s kid is a joke that went over my head?
As you know the IT world is such that tomorrow’s fantasy of superior scholars is today’s grinds. Thus you must make sure your eyes are wide open, your cash prepared to make the purchases, and your mind receptive.
Because as we have learned, there is no such word as ‘routine’ when describing the future of smartphones.
