Those were the days; way back a decade and a half ago when heavy and chunky devices that hardly fitted your pockets called mobile phones came into being. In spite of its size people were enamoured by the fact that one could talk to people via a device that was not connected to wires. Further what was more was that one could also send text messages without having to talk either. As technology improved the mobile phone handsets grew smaller in size and it has come to a phase when people make use of mobile phones like tiny computers. Practically everyday there is a new device with more exciting features being introduced into the market, as people who have a craze for the functionalities and the features that are offered in mobile phones are eager to exchange their older models for the new generation devices of today.

In such an environment with mobile phones coming out in so many numbers has anyone really taken time off to wonder what the mobile phones would look like in days to come. The one constant would be that there would be continuous incorporation of facilities via the Internet with the hardware. People seem to use their mobile phones more than they watch TV or other enjoy other forms of entertainment. Though the touch screen display is what is ruling the mobile screens of today, it will not be long before even that would be obsolete with sensors and cameras having the capabilities to identify gestures or movements of the hand. The next generation mobile phones would also comprise of better quality of recognizing voice. Mobile phone of the coming years would probably be able to talk to you and read out your messages, any information and tell you about the weather, rather than you have to read it yourself. In fact one may even see holographic 3D technology would be integrated into the mobile phones pretty soon, which implies that you could view 3D pictures without utilizing 3D glasses. Even screen resolutions would increase. As one can see the iPhone 4 features a great screen resolution.

Soon, mobile phones would be incorporated with enhanced technical aspects like nanotechnology that will permit mobile phones to carry pout duties like self cleaning or help scan foods for poisonous substances. There is no saying the possibilities that would be made available with the use of nanotechnology.

Translucent photonic circuitry is another principle currently in its theoretical phase, but could be applied in the future mobile phones. Could anyone envisage their mobile phone turning out to be a translucent device that consists of a high resolution display screen that gets all its power from the environment to keep it going? Though this know-how is still in its beginning stages as of now, it would turnout to be actually real in years to come. Actually there is 'n' numbers of possibilities that could be tapped when it concerns the matters related to the mobile industry.

The flexible screen is another creation invention that could hopefully be seen on mobile phones soon. This is something that has been already got ready by Sony with which one can expect to see a new era of mobile phones being introduced. How would one like it if the display screen could be rolled out or rolled in when in use or when not required? This could possibly make laptops and PC become outdated. The body design of the mobile phones would alter basically and there may be some great changes and some strange looking mobile phones.

All technologies mentioned above are in the process of getting ready, so it would hardly be surprising to see these on the new mobile phones very soon.
