Nokia returns to the mobile space with the Nokia 3, Nokia 5 and Nokia 6. But the Nokia 8 is the one we're all waiting for... Nokia’s MWC 2017 campaign was pretty impressive. The company announced a trio of Android phones –  the Nokia 3, Nokia 5 and Nokia 6  – that are designed exclusively to cause massive ripples in the mid-range segment of the market place. This segment – the sub-£250 bracket – is a very lucrative segment for phone makers, though competition is fierce. Brands like the Moto G line and other equally impressive mid-range Android phones, like the one’s listed here, battle for supremacy and constantly redefine what constitutes an “affordable Android phone”.

Futuristic Smartphone Features Get some unknown features of future smartphones on http://www.laptopmag.com/articles/futuristic-smartphone-features Here is a short discussion on that website. I'll tell you some of the features that this website shows, that are : TRICORDER SMARTPHONES YOUR EYES OR VOICE ARE PASSWORD 32-CORE PROCESSORS VOICE CONTROL BEND OR FLEXIBLE SCREEN TRANSFLEXIVE LCDs ALL DAY BATTERY LIFE INDOOR POSITIONING ( IPS ) Here's some pics of those                 

Sensor Network User Interface (SNUI) Here’s an example of a fluid UI where you have multiple compact tiles made up of color LCD screens, in-built accelerometers and IrDA infrared transceivers that are able to interact with one another when placed in close proximity . Let’s make this simple. It’s like Scrabble tiles that have screens which will change to reflect data when placed next to each other.   As you shall see in this demo video of Siftables , users can physically interact with the tiles by tilting, shaking, lifting and bumping it with other similar tiles. These tiles can serve as a highly interactive learning tool for young children who can receive immediate reactions to their actions. SNUI is also great for simple puzzle games where gameplay includes shifting and rotating tiles to win. Then there’s also the ability to sort images physically by grouping these tiles together according to your preferences. It is a more crowd-enabled TUI; instea...

This phone is expected to be release in October 20 with starting rate in India to be Rs. 57,000.

Wearable Computer As the name suggests, wearable computers are electronic devices which you can wear on you like an accessory or apparel . It can be a pair of gloves, eyeglasses, a watch or even a suit. The key feature of wearable UI is that it should keep your hands free and will not hinder your daily activities. In other words, it will serve as a secondary activity for you, as and when you wish to access it.   Think of it as having a watch that can work like a smartphone. Sony has already released an Android-powered SmartWatch earlier this year that can be paired with your Android phone via Bluetooth. It can provide notifications of new emails and tweets. As with all smartphones, you can download compatible apps into Sony SmartWatch for easy accessibility. Expect more wearable UI in the near future as microchips bearing smart capabilities grow nano-smaller and be fitted into everyday wear.

Tangible User Interface (TUI) Imagine having a computer system that fuses the physical environment with the digital realm to enable the recognition of real world objects . In Microsoft Pixelsense (formerly known as Surface), the interactive computing surface can recognize and identify objects that are placed onto the screen. In Microsoft Surface 1.0 , light from objects are reflected to multiple infrared cameras. This allows the system to capture and react to the items placed on the screen .   In an advanced version of the technology (Samsung SUR40 with Microsoft PixelSense), the screen includes sensors, instead of cameras to detect what touches the screen . On this surface, you could create digital paintings with paintbrushes based on the input by the actual brushtip. The system is also programmed to recognize sizes and shapes and to interact with embedded tags e.g. a tagged namecard placed on the screen will display the card’s information. Smartphone...
