Smartphones have revolutionized the way we communicate with people and business associates. More than just a phone, smartphones these days have transformed into mini-computers that help us accomplish a variety of tasks. Studies have repeatedly shown that consumers prefer smartphones with larger display combined with a powerful processor as it allows them to multitask, be it work or for entertainment. 

As these trends continue, new features are likely to be introduced in the foreseeable future, such as voice assistant features, enhanced security, expanded color options, enhanced media transfer capabilities, ultra-bright, high-resolution cameras, battery life enhancement, and even added features to track your fitness, among many others.  With smartphones evolving at a significant pace, there is always an innovation waiting in the corner, ready to disrupt the market.
