Tech Trends 2017 - What We Learned From MWC

2017-03-03
so let's get our geek on and talk about the tech trends that we learn from the Mobile World Congress 2017 and let's start with aspect ratios specifically 18 9 it's no surprise here we already knew that the LG G 6 would adopt an 18 9 univision aspect ratio what LG calls full vision and during the Mobile World Congress we got to hear more but why LG believes it's the future of entertainment on both large and small screens we also know we can expect a similar 18 v 9 aspect ratio on the upcoming Galaxy S 8 which is set to be unveiled on March 29th we even got hints that Apple is planning the same aspect ratio for the upcoming 10th anniversary iPhone next up is shrinking bezels and it's not just the side bezels but those big ass Chin's are going bye-bye with the exception of Sony which seems to be in love with their big top and bottom bezels most Android OEMs are going for super thin side bezels and really pushing those bezels to limit LG has done a great job with the g6 and with the leaks of the s8 it seems like it's going to be incredibly futuristic the Huawei p10 has a pretty microscopic side bezel and even Sony minimized side bezels to razor thin status on the Xperia x a1 and next up HDR displays HDR displays are going to be a big trend this year Samsung put one in the Galaxy Tab s 3 LG put one in the g6 and Sony put the world's first 4k HDR display on the Xperia X Z premium the galaxy s 8 looks like it should be a shoo-in but we can't see any reason why other manufacturers won't do similar things in their 2017 flagships next up fingerprint scanner gestures Wow yeah fingerprint scanner jesters can be fun and surprisingly intuitive to adapt to mizu phones have been doing scanner gestures for years and while we introduced the maid s a couple of years back with gestures for scrolling through the interface and dragging down the notification shade something we've also seen in the pixels but with Huawei and Motorola dropping phones with front mounted scanner gestures at the Mobile World Congress it looks like this might be a thing now for a trend I know almost all of you care about and that is fast charging like big bezels the days of wireless charging now seem to be behind us as fast charging increasingly becomes the preferred standard over wireless charging that trend is proprietary fast charging technology though watching battery charging demos is quite literally as boring as watching a battery charge but what's going on inside these demos is actually pretty mind-blowing obviously getting the edge over the rivals fast charging solution makes for a pretty compelling selling point what am i personally excited about well fast charging is a cool thing I'm looking forward to that but what I'm really looking forward to is someone to pull ahead and really make a leap forward in the world of wearables I don't want to carry around big clunky phones and tablets I want something that's not gonna look geeky and scare my mother but will still give me access to the internet without having to pull out this chunk of metal from my pocket you know what I'm saying so whether that's glasses that don't really look like geeky glasses because snapchats spectacles art I don't even know I feel like I live in the freaking twilight zone sometimes who is gonna wear that stuff who is gonna wear that stuff it'd be taken seriously I don't know I know Josh likes it but these guys will remember from like 15 years ago when people were making money hands over fist in the dot-com bubble remember we didn't call it a dotnet bubble or dot org bubble we didn't call them dot biz billionaires we called them dot-com billionaires because that's the power of a dot-com now why is that because no domain name extension tells your story with the same degree of trust as a dot-com or dotnet domain name.com and dotnet domain name extensions inject credibility into your online presence save fifteen percent on domain names and web hosting when you use our coupon code android at domain.com check out when you think domain names think domain.com
