The timeline is full of specifics, but we can categorize some of the major changes.
Google is going to be announcing its first foldable phone ‘Pixel
Fold’ at its I/O 2023 event on the 10th of May. The company has also
released a small preview clip showcasing the outer specs of the device including
a full-size foldable display and camera lenses on the back similar to
those of other Pixel phones.
Rumours about the launch of Pixel Fold have been around since last year. While Google had no plans of launching the device then, it had been working on educating Android developers on designing apps in alignment with foldable devices and larger screens.
Google has removed the astrophotography capabilities within
the camera lens of Pixel 5 and 4a 5G. The feature has been taken away with Google
Camera’s 8.1 update.
This special feature was a selling point of the Pixel 4 and
was also available on the regular and telephoto cameras. It was also added to
the 4a 5G and 5 with their new wide-angle lenses.
The feature allowed users to take photos of the night sky by pointing their phone up and keeping it still by balancing it on an object or setting it up on a tripod.
The U.K. government planned to phase out the Huawei 5G technology and as part of that plan, it is banning the installation of the new Huawei 5G equipment from September of next year. The government announced back in July that it would be barring firms from buying new equipment form Huawei starting from January 2021, due to the national security concerns revolving around the Chinese tech company.
This means that any telecoms companies that have stockpiled Huawei equipment ahead of January 2021 will not be able to use them for long-term 5G rollouts. Reports suggest that several companies have been stockpiling the equipment since summer. However, firms possessing old Huawei equipment will still be able to maintain it after September.
On the other hand, matters of the ban enforcement and the laws regarding it will be set by a new legislation in the Parliament this week. Furthermore, telecoms companies could be fined up to 10 percent of turnover or £100,000 per day if they fail to comply with the new security standards, according to the Telecommunications Security Bill requirements.
With the mobile phones being used more than anything else
right now, the technology and new apps on it need some innovations as well. There
are multiple mobile operating systems right now the popular ones include, Android
OS, iOS, and Windows. All of these operating systems have their own UI and
stores that provide various functionalities to its users.
Mobile games are taking the world by storm. They are the
next big thing coming to the gaming industry and are expected to rise even more
just like the pc and console games have. Mobile games are fairly popular in all
age groups but millennials are more likely to enjoy mobile games. 33 percent of
Gen Z are into mobile games regularly whereas 40 percent of millennials are
known to be hardcore mobile gamers.
The evolution of mobile technology has come to the point that the entire world has its eyes on the new 5G services becoming available soon. It's not only a revolution for the technology and mobile industry, but it will affect many other industries in a number of ways. Similarly, there have been a few controversies revolving around 5G technology too.
The industries that will be disturbed the most are automotive and cloud services. Due to its advanced nature, downloading and uploading speeds have been rapidly increased by 5G. Although it is decreasing latency times, which can cause a stir in applications in which time is a critical component.
