Top 10 New Mobile Technology Trends for 2015
Quad HD with a Dash of 4K
Last year saw the emergence of Quad HD displays in large screen devices like the Motorola Droid Turbo and Samsung Galaxy Note 4. While fancy displays for mobile phones are still a long way off, UltraHD displays will likely become a regular feature of high end tablets, particularly in the 10 to 13 inch range. With 4k TV monitors becoming cheaper; manufacturers are likely to capitalize on that as well.
Optical Image Stabilization
High selling smartphones all the way back to 2012’s Nokia Lumia 920 have included OIS, which enables better photography in low light environment. But now the technology has caught momentum, with the Iphone 6 Plus, LG G3 and Samsung Galaxy Note 4 featuring it. Pretty soon all mobile phones will carry the technology, along with other sensible new camera features like automatic HDR and slow motion video.
Insanely Fast LTE
Mobile’s low bandwidth speeds have been instructional in how to design apps that function well despite limitations, but app makers would nevertheless like more to work with. Many countries in Europe as well as Australia are rolling out Category 6 LTE Advanced with 300 Mbps downstream speed. Also, if Qualcomm can manage to get Cat.9 modems on the market by 2015, it might just be possible to download apps faster on mobile than on fixed Ethernet cables.
