Even More Clever:
Flexible screens,mobiles that lock your house and pay for your coffee-the future is all haptic feedback and 4G, says our crack tech team.
Screens:
In 2013, smartphone screens will feel different. apple has patented a "haptic feedback" screen. Until now, haptic feedback has meant a vibration as you touch the screen in the next phase your fingers will feel individual "keys" on the touchscreen keyboard, pushing up as you touch. Screens will also go HD. The HTC Droid DNA, one of the first phones with a full HD screen, is just out in the US. The Samsung Galaxy S4 is predicted to follow a suit with a 4.99-inch, full HD screen. Next year could bring an end to smashed screens as plastic OLED screens can be hit repeatedly without causing damage.Interiors and Exteriors:
On the exterior, Windows 8 this year brought us phones in a range of bright colors from both HTC and Nokia. Rumors around the next iPhone suggest it may go the multicolored way of the iPod touch. The Mailbox app,arriving early in 2013 from award-winning developer Orchestra, treats emails like to-do-lists, with a save for later option and alerts to remind you of important mails.Super Power:
We have already seen quad-core processors in HTC One X+ and the Google LG Nexus 4. Essentially these processors allow you do a lot at once- such as run a game and send emails at the same time. Samsung is said to be announcing a device with an 8-core processor in February. That will no doubt need a lot of battery, so meanwhile others are focusing on improving battery life. The processor in the Nokia Lumia 620. due early in 2013 is, designed to minimize power use. The phone claims to last for up to 10 hours, or 330 hours in stand by mode.
