Mobile phone evolution: Story of shapes and sizes
Gsmarena have posted an article called Mobile phone evolution: Story of shapes and sizes. Here is their final conclusion.
So a full-touch device with a XL screen and just under 10mm thick might as well be the mobile phone of the future - a good chunk of the near future at least. Oh, but we already have quite a few of those. So will it mostly be about improving software, adding applications and upping the processing power or will there be another unexpected twist?
Considering the way the industry has gone in the last decade - we'd rather expect the unexpected. At the time when we were starting off back in the day, mobile phones were just shedding off their external antennae. This may look small today, but back then it was no less a revolution than color screens and polyphonic ringtones. Boy, it's bigger than video-calling will ever be.
10 years is not a long time. So you probably remember monochrome screens were measured by the number of lines of text they fit. And some of you may as well be reading this on a high-res touchscreen. So, what are we to expect in another ten years? We have no idea. And that's the best part of it. So stay around. We sure will.
