Future of smartphones in 2016


2015 is the year that many smartphones manufacturers are still living in their comfort zones such as Apple and Samsung and some Chinese ones. Meanwhile, many old famous names such as Sony and BlackBerry is getting out of the zone of the mobile industry. The result is not so hard to assume when the profit is nowhere near them and the loss is quite huge. However, 2016 could be the year for them to change the fate or they have to sell their companies. As the statement of the Sony CEO, if they can not improve the mobile sector named Sony Mobile in 2016, the risk of replacement is quite possible.
4K screen is not a distant standard on smartphones anymore
To be exact, manufacturers will not stop improving smartphones years by years and the 4K screen is the next goal of them. 2015 is the year that Sony released their first smartphone that can display 4K resolution. 2016 promises to be the new race of configurations upgrade of those manufacturers that they use to prove their position on the mobile sector. One of the most important improvement is possibly 4K screen. But this is just a theory which bases on the annual upgrade cycle of manufacturers. Because improving the 4K display quality on screen is not that simple as it may sound, not to mention of the benefit of 4K screen is not really remarkable.
If they put the 4K resolution on smartphone screen just for entertainment purpose, that could be wasteful. Moreover, the cost for smartphones manufacturing will be higher and the battery life will be affected seriously.
Sensor technology unlocked by retinal will develop
It has been a time since the day users learned the concept of the fingerprint sensor, but they will likely to continue learning more about sensor technology unlocked by retinal in 2016. Currently, there are a few ones which support identification technologies with retina scanners but there are just a few. Remarkably, Lumia 950 has an ability of retinal identification with infrared light. Thus, next year could be an explosive year of this new technology.
