if you think your current smartphone is
cool wait you get a load of what’s
coming next from foldable screens and
integrated projectors to a phone that
will tell you the chemical composition
of whatever you point at it smartphones
are poised to get a whole lot smarter
hey everyone welcome to gear up the
WatchMojo series that looks at the
latest in gadgets gear and games I’m
Marc Saltzman and in this video we look
at five amazing smartphone features
coming soon we’re not talking about
future tech like 5g wireless
connectivity truly wireless charging in
Holograms but tech we should expect
later in 2018 and early 2019 or so we
hope before we begin we publish new
content every day so be sure to
subscribe to our Channel and ring the
bell to get notified about our latest
videos all right not listed in any
particular order number one no more
bezels if leaked photos of upcoming
phones are any indication including the
galaxy s 10 or whatever Samsung decides
to call it say goodbye to bezels once
and for all you’ll be looking at an all
glass screen with very little or no gap
between the display and the edges of the
device sure it’s been happening for a
couple of years with infinity screens
and apple’s notorious iphone 10 knotch
but we’re talking all display sooner
than later with no borders on the top
bottom or sides not sure yet where
smartphone makers will put the selfie
camera maybe it’ll be a pop-up one but
expect no bezels in your smartphones
beginning in 2019
number two a built-in projector some
Asian phones have had a pico projector
before and a Lenovo tablet but poor
brightness and battery issues have
limited its success especially on a
global scale but expect us to change as
the technology is getting better and
better just look at what movi has done
with its Android smartphone with an
integrated pico projector it can splash
an image in 720p HD up to 200 inches in
size and is now available for 599
dollars unlocked why would you want a
projector in a smart phone
well why stare at a 6-inch screen to
watch Netflix when you can project a 200
inch image onto your wall or ceiling or
in boardrooms as well number three a
foldable screen what’s better than one
screen – of course and this is something
a couple of smartphone makers are
cooking up it’s not entirely a new
concept mind you but rumor has it
Samsung is gonna launch one in early
2019 making it a very big deal currently
referred to as the Samsung Galaxy X by
the tech media this near $2,000
smartphone is reported to be seven years
in the making yes it was 2011 when the
South Korean tech giant first showed off
a prototype personally I love the idea
of a flexible foldable phone but we’ll
need to see some concrete applications
for the technology to make it more than
just a gimmick time will tell number
four under glass biometrics a retina or
iris scan may be more accurate than a
fingerprint if you believe the
smartphone companies but not everyone
likes holding up their phone to their
face to authenticate you in fact when it
comes to mobile payments at retail this
is more work than it used to be as you
now have to tap your phone on that
contactless terminal then lift up your
device to your face rather than just
keeping your thumb on the fingerprint
sensor such as Apple’s touch ID which
was replaced by face ID with the iPhone
10 and so a few companies are starting
to add a fingerprint scanner under the
glass of a smart phone so no matter
where you place your thumb or finger it
logs you onto your device
it lets you into an app or let you buy
something in the fall of 2018 Asian
smartphone buyers can pick up a six inch
Android phone from a company called vivo
which has a synaptics clear ID in
display optical fingerprint sensor
position between the display glass and
an OLED panel and finally the fifth
coolest technology coming soon to a
smartphone near you a built-in
spectrometer to create the very first
smartphone that can analyze molecules
Israeli startup consumer physics has
partnered with china’s chang hong and
the result is the h2 it’s a smartphone
that’s now out in asia but will likely
be the first of many to come with its
built-in infrared spectrometer this
slender 6 inch Android device lets you
scan an object and immediately receive
feedback on its chemical composition
whether it’s food items like fruits and
vegetables dairy products or meat mat
occasion or even body parts for example
scan a strawberry at the supermarket to
see how sweet it is
or find out your body fat percentage by
placing the phone on your bicep find a
pill that’s not in its original bottle
it can tell you the name of the meds it
may sound like science fiction but it
could be coming to the West sooner than
later
