How will smartphones be 10 years from now?

How will smartphones be 10 years from now?

I think foldable, waterproof phones with enormous battery lives will be the coming norm very soon.

>unironically wiping your ass with your 2000$ smartphone

I don't think enormous battery life will ever be the norm. When there is better battery tech they will just make phones thinner and make them use more power.

implanted into your palm and connected to the neural chip while running on body heat

>tfw you device will be powered by your own body warmth

Screenless, portless, void of electronics, slabs of cardboard, 'cuz removing functionality is a feature. In 20 years phones will be like bitcoins, things you "have" but don't exist and sell for retarded prices.

I'd buy it

I unironically think people won't carry personal phones any more in maybe 20 years, there will just be pervasive computing terminals everywhere.

...

Pretty much exactly like now. Just like 10 years ago.

some sort of google glasses and a magic pen for control like a VR controller

Like this

underrated

smartphones will be powered witlessly. Just you see, Tesla was right all along.

>enormous battery lives will be the coming norm very soon

le thin phone meme needs to die and it would fix all problems

>foldable
That already exists.

What do you have against convenience?

>maximum botnet. pic related

Samsung is supposedly working on one

probably some sort of neckless like in Accel World
You will "see" it through your eyes holographically but others cannot see what you see type of shit, hard to explain really.

In 10-20 years time everything and everyone will be permanently connected through the internet/cloud and information will be accessible at any given time.

software bezels
automatic updates mandatory because your phone and carrier is a ""SERVICE"""
poor battery life
home button sold seperately

Steve Jobs is dead so Apple is stagnating, and everyone else keeps pace with Apple whether they like to admit it or not. So in 10 years we will have essentially the same shit, just with more advanced surveillance and targeted advertising. Maybe we will have some new tech in the form of 3D scan selfies, and animating a digital version of ourselves, and modifying it.

I just combined the face unlock dot projector with the animoji idea to come up with that extrapolation

I miss flip phones. Smart phones are too big and always bulge out of my pockets.

Add another zero to your years out estimate for that one. You sound like we did in 1990, anticipating flying cars by 2010.

>In 10-20 years
try 150-200 years

Yeah, I believe phones can suck your dick in the future.

Isn't there already like an electronic fleshlight that syncs up to porn you're watching and administers sensations as if you were in the porn?

...

what is convenient about thin phones? they have very little space for loudspeak to resonate, grip is lousy, headphone jacks are removed because they supposedly take too much space and batteries are thinner and force users to charge frequently. Add the curved edges meme and you have a perfect normie phone that's uncomfy to hold, your fingers obstruct the view, it's sleek and slippy and deforms the image. I want classic, bricky, barlike phones with some bezel to hold on to and space for all the ports. And a flat, rectangle screen.

Hell, they could even market it to power-users just like they did with matte screens like they did some time ago after trying to sell polished lcd monitors

>implying humanity will survive past the year 2100

>what's convenient about thin phones?
They take up less pocket space and weight, are more comfortable to use one handed, and are easier to carry whilst walking.

>grip is lousy
Can't disagree with you there. My ChinkMe didn't have good grip so I got a decent case for it.

>curved edged meme
Absolute cancer that doesn't seem to die.

>Implying genetic engineering won't make humanity into the furry race by 2050

>android kitkat
No thx

It would have to be Marshmallow and up

12" foldable sounds about right

OwO

Why do you think that?

i want a Motorola razr flip phone but with modern specs and a decent screen
or one of those sliders with a full keyboard, but again, modern specs

i dont like large brick smartphones, i want small phones back

she's a qt

Yeah that seems easy to type on

And he causeth all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to receive a mark in their right hand, or in their foreheads: And that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name.

lmao, iniggers btfo

After the singularity, All neural HUDs incorporate telecommunications.

I want Deus Ex style cyborg implants, personally.

>enormous battery lives

People have been saying this for portable electronics since the 70s. It will never, ever happen. Power creep always meets or exceeds battery advancement.

Yeah

>foldable
Why would that be good? What they need to make its the rankaphone, that's surely a better concept.

OP lives inside a movie.

Gillette released the Mach 3 razor in 1998, and since then they have been trying to out-do themselves by piling more stupid bullshit into their products and marketing them like toys. Turbo fusion action-force electro-tech razor with a fucking articulated ball head, just in case I don't have wrists, how useful. No fuck off you gimmick peddling fucks, a simple safety razor is all you actually need.

When the S6 Edge came out it was abundantly obvious that smartphones had peaked and are now doing Gillette levels of product development. i.e. nothing substantial or useful.

Its not about what smartphones will be like in 10 years, its more about whether or not anything new will come along that displaces smartphones.

I'm really excited for foldable phones, and hope they come soon. Ideally, it'll be able to protect itself so you don't need protection. That makes it thinner even if it's thicker. I would love to be able to keep my phone in my pocket but get a big screen to watch anime and browse the internet on when I use it.
(an alternative to foldable phones would be stretchy phones that you can stretch out and shrink, but I think that would be more difficult to make and it'd lack the ability to protect itself. However, they would serve the same purpose, if they get made)

Some other things that may or may not happen at some point in the future would be real keys. The touch screen could get bubbles for each key on the touchscreen keyboard. Or maybe different levels of friction of different parts of the screens that change with what's on the screen. The issue is that touchscreen keyboards are difficult to use, but having independent keyboards makes the screen smaller than it needs to be. This is a problem that phone makers need to solve, and this was some attempts at coming up with solutions to that problem.

On the more negative side, companies are constantly working to take away consumer rights, and one popular way to do it is by changing "ownership" to "free rent for a price", as is getting popular with video games. This trend will continue. In the future, it may be impossible to actually buy phones, you may be forced to give up your consumer rights in order to get a new phone.

And I agree, the battery won't get much better than it is today.

All this is assuming there is no revolution, if modern phones continue to evolve in the same direction, but there is also the possibility that someone comes up with something that makes our current type of phone obsolete.

Honestly the only things i want from my phone at this point is
1. Never having to charge it
2. Water/shit/scratch/hammer proof
3. Maybe a little thinner
And of course should be able to carry the future's apps smoothly. I don't know what else you can want

>buy non Gillette fusion razor
>doesn't have that little meme blade on the back of the head
>don't get as good of a shave as I do with that little meme blade

Oh god I hope so, looks like its running a big boy OS too.

I once had that vibrating razor, kek. They marketed it like it somehow shaves you better. What a load of crap

It will be basically a function-less device made only to survey on you

it's like giving an unplugged joystick to your little brother to make him believe he's playing the game

Get one of these. Its the pinnacle of shaving technology. The 3 blades thing is nothing but marketing.

Also...

I know what WON'T be there
>huge battery life in phones and laptops
>THICC and solid,reasonably heavy phones and laptops
>Keyboards on phones
>An actual good linux distro everyone swears by

How is Springbourne Road this time of year?

>foldable
>waterproof
>enormous battery life

???

Holy fuck if you are telling me that Samsung's foldable phone is for some portrait shit I'm shooting cats.

>foldable
>enormous battery life

The same. 10 years isn't that much time.

Here is why this won't work
youtube.com/watch?v=KbgvSi35n6o

b-b-b-but what if I want to shave my balls?

>wanting smartphones
>not wanting to just be able to call people and browse the internet in your head

that one is heavy and too thick

Can vouch, user.

kek, the capslock key is still gonna be around though

This, the safety razor is the cheapest, safest and most efficient manual shaving tool. Cartridge razors were invented in order to fool people into buying expensive cartridges instead of spending cents on razor blades from the manufacturer of their choice.

> diamond age mac keyboard
> still has ibm terminal keys
Zombie Steve Jobs will raise an undead army and burn the world for this.

I will also vouch for this thing. I can't believe it was perfected fucking decades ago and we were sold so much fucking shit that doesn't work even 20% as well.

You won't buy smartphones, you'll just get a $199/month subscription directly from Apple or Google to always get the latest version released.

I will dispute this, user. My laser guided Schick Quinto Frictionless Pro Ultra shaves as well with one or two less strokes than a safety razor with a fresh blade, but the price difference in blades is worse than Apple tier. Fuck that sideways.

t. abraham rosenberg, vp of marketing at gillette

i fucking remember that bracelet, was so fucking hyped for it then the developer never released shit guy should be sued and bankrupt hes making a dumb projector instead of the damn bracelet

Right, we have the tech now to make devices with 100+ hour battery life. I have a tiny mp3 player that has that level of battery.

I use that thing on my balls as well. Works like a charm
