Smartphones have two more years left to live: what will happen after?

Smartphones have two more years left to live: what will happen after? 1

Cristiano Amon, Qualcomm brand leader, predicted the imminent demise of smartphones. According to him, after 2 years they will slowly leave the market of mobile gadgets, and a new device will be available to users. The success of this evolution is directly dependent on the proliferation of 5G technology.

This is not an alternative, but evolution

In an interview with Business Insider, Mr. Amon said that top-end modern manufacturers are already developing a new device. In the near future, it will become as common as smartphones today. It is the appearance of these devices that will gradually negate the demand for phones.

According to the expert, now Microsoft, Facebook, Amazon and Apple have concentrated on the development of virtual and augmented reality (VR, AR) technology. As soon as commercial 5G networks start functioning in most countries of the world, the above brands will be the first to launch smart glasses on the market. They will have nothing to do with the modern prototype. These will not be bulky helmets, but the most ordinary, familiar-looking glasses.

Cristiano Amon notes: this will not be a replacement for the smartphone, but simply a device of a completely new type. But it will definitely be higher at the evolutionary technological level.

Smart glasses will be suitable for everyday use. They will provide the necessary communications, Internet access, the use of social networks – in general, all the functionality for which smartphones are now being bought. And that’s not it.

For example, smart glasses will simplify user identification. Retinal scanning is one of the most reliable authorization options. This will provide instant access to the necessary proprietary information. Voice calls with the display of the “hologram” of the interlocutor is also a completely feasible technology.

There will be 5G – there will be progress

Much depends on the development of 5G: it is the high speed and stability of the connection with a minimum of delays that will make it possible to implement all plans. Using a high-speed connection, you can transfer almost all communication processes to the cloud, which will make future gadgets easier and thinner.

Amon claims that all this is not his fantasies, but real forecasts. He personally saw prototypes that are already able to surprise. And it is true. For example, Apple is preparing a presentation of its own AR-headset by the year 2023. Amazon is already trying to release massive solutions (not very impressive yet). Microsoft is focusing on the business segment. Facebook collaborated with Ray-Ban. They intend to show the fruit of collaboration until 2025.

Of the current realities, the replacement of many phone functions with a fitness bracelet is most popular. The most popular, of course, Xiaomi Mi Band
